IPL photofacials

Over time, as we naturally age, overactive muscle movement gradually wears away the collagen in our skin, causing the skin to crease and wrinkles to appear. Line and wrinkle treatments relax these muscles preventing the formation of wrinkles and smoothing out lines. Line and wrinkle treatments work only on the specific muscles injected, leaving the surrounding muscles to function as usual, enabling normal facial expression, just with less wrinkles.

As we age the skin on our hands becomes thinner and less elastic with some associated fat loss sometimes resulting in a skeletal appearance, where the veins also become more pronounced.

It is estimated that close to 90% of women have stretch marks, which occur normally as a result of puberty, pregnancy, hormonal changes and weight gain. This fact does little to alleviate the embarrassment that most women feel at the appearance of these unsightly striations on their skin.

A scar is a patch or line of tissue that remains after a wound has healed. When a wound occurs and there is a break in some of the tissue in the body, the body heals it by producing more of a protein called collagen.

Scars gradually become smoother and softer and will fade but it is unlikely they will ever disappear and depending on the severity and location of them can cause distress if unsightly or very visible.

This state-of-the-art treatment uses laser technology to give you a fresher, more youthful skin tone and texture. Fractional laser resurfacing is the latest method for rejuvenating aged skin. Our Lux 1540 is great for lines, wrinkles, scarring and sun damage.
