CRYOPEN CRYOTHERAPY

Fed up of unsightly skin tags and blemishes, but not sure how to get them removed? With the arrival of the innovative Dermapen CryoPen using cryotherapy, we can easily sort these out for you. Using the accurate, high-pressure freezing application.

The Dermapen CyroPen can be effective for the treatment of sunspots, milia, freckles, lentigines, age, warts, cherry angiomas, skin tags & unwanted skin lesions. These can be safely targeted while ensuring there is no damage to the surrounding healthy tissue. After your initial consultation with our fully trained and qualified therapist. they will simply select the correct, millimetre-specific nozzle, point the handheld CryoPen at the area to be treated, and freezes the irritating blemish using a fine, high-pressure jet of nitrous oxide to precisely destroy the unwanted tissue with extreme cold and leave the surrounding, healthy tissue intact.

Then you walk out, all done forever! It’s so quick, easy, and risk-free. It really has to be experienced to be believed.

Our machine, the Eclipse Diode, which uses triple wave SHR technology for virtually pain free hair removal on the majority of skin types.

SHR stands for Super Hair Removal, and is a relatively new technology for the permanent removal of hair which is receiving amazing reviews. The system combines laser technology and the benefits of the pulsating light method achieving practically painless results. Even hairs which until now have been difficult or even impossible to be removed, can now be treated. The “In Motion” represents a breakthrough in permanent hair removal with light technology. The treatment is more pleasant than with the conventional systems and your skin is much better protected.

The sweeping technique of moving the applicator repeatedly over the treatment area ensures full coverage while the MAX cooling system cools the skin surface preventing superficial burns and allowing for virtually pain-free, yet highly effective hair removal. SHR can even reduce visible wrinkles, due to its collagen-boosting effects.

Until now hair had to be treated during the growing phase (20%-30%). In the telogen phase stem cells are in the resting phase but can still successfully be treated with the LHR system. Since growth cycles vary, approximately 8 treatments are usually necessary. This varies depending on consultation, goals and concerns.

Treatment is practically painless, compared to treatment with conventional IPL devices. The sweeping technique of moving the applicator repeatedly over the treatment area gives full coverage while the MAX cooling system cools the skin surface, preventing superficial burns and allowing for virtually pain-free, yet highly effective hair removal.

The Eclipse Diode uses 3 laser wavelength:

  • 755nm, this is effective for most blonde and fine hair.

  • 810nm, the golden standard wavelength for most hair types.

  • 1064nm, effective for dark and tanned skin.

The light energy is absorbed by the pigment located in the hair shaft and follicle and is then transformed into heat energy acting simultaneously on the hair’s anatomy: the hair bulge, bulb and papilla raising the temperature destroying the cells responsible for regrowth. the destroyed material is then absorbed by the body in a natural process.

The hair growth cycle and the interval between treatments should correspond, requiring spacing of approximately 3-4 weeks.

At least 1 week before the first treatment, intense sun exposure or solarium visits should be avoided.

Hairs should not be waxed or plucked less than 6 weeks before treatment. Shaving is permitted at any time. Areas to be treated should ideally be shaved one day before the scheduled appointment.

If you are currently on the medication Ro-accutane or similar or have been in the past 6 months, please let us know before each treatment session. This medication can make your skin more susceptible to damage from the treatment.

After your treatment, the area is cleansed and you can return to your normal activities immediately. Slight reddening and local swelling of the skin, similar to sunburn, may occur in some patients. These effects typically last no more than 24 hours.

The skin’s natural protection is somewhat weakened after this intense light treatment. Therefore, a high level of UV protection (30-50) in the form of a sunscreen lotion should be applied for about 1 week. Our organic sunscreen can be purchased post treatment.

After 1-5 weeks hair will fall out. Shaving is possible any time, but hair should not be plucked. Keep the area clean. Wash gently with tepid water. Avoid the use of any possible skin irritant on the face such as the stimulant creams (Retin-A, Retinova, Glycolic Cream), Benzoyl perioxide or astringents. If the area appears red or shows any signs of tenderness, apply a soothing cream, which can be supplied. If you experience any persistent irritation or notice weeping, broken skin, blistering or pigmentation changes following the treatment it is essential that you contact us as soon as you can.



COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY

Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), also known as medical skin needling or micro-needling, is a minimally-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as scars on the face and body. The treatment uses tiny needles or micro-needles on a medical-grade roller or uses a CIT Pen that is moved over the skin to create tiny, evenly-spaced puncture wounds on the skin.

The targeted use of medical grade stainless steel needles instigates the regeneration of skin cells by generating a wound healing response. It also allows topical nutrients to be more readily absorbed into the skin, encouraging the production of the body’s natural collagen and elastin, which helps it thicken and ‘plump up’ without the risk of invasive techniques that can damage the epidermis.

This procedure which can be performed on both the face and body, and should cause minimal trauma when creating the microscopic punctures in the skin. However, topical local anesthetic can be used to minimise discomfort.

  • Minimizes fine lines and wrinkles
  • Reduces pore size and improves skin texture
  • Aids penetration of topical active ingredients
  • Suitable for all skin types (with adequate preparation)
  • No down time
  • Produces new growth factors
  • Increases natural collagen formation
  • Scar reduction
  • Painless
  • No risk of burning or scarring

There are no major contraindications for Collagen Induction Therapy. As with all cosmetic treatments, the ideal candidate should have realistic expectations and be in generally good health. The treatment is suitable for all skin types, unlike some laser or chemical peels procedures. If you have any of the following concerns, you may be a suitable candidate for Collagen Induction Therapy:

  • Premature ageing
  • Skin laxity
  • Lines and wrinkles
  • Scarring from acne, chicken pox, injuries or surgery

Collagen is essential for healthy, plump skin, however as we age, our collagen production slows which can cause skin to lose firmness and sag.

Collagen Induction Therapy is suitable for most people. It uses a dermal roller consisting of extremely fine needles or a CIT pen. These cause pinpricks within the dermis (secondary) layer of the skin. When our skin is damaged, it produces collagen tissue, which is stronger, and firmer than before. Over a course of treatments, collagen fibres are strengthened and the skin becomes stronger, smoother, and firmer, with improved texture. Collagen Induction is also an effective facial treatment for acne scarring.

  • Improved skin texture
  • Restored elasticity
  • Softer lines
  • Increased skin tightness
  • Reduced appearance of scarring

Results can be seen after the first treatment, however significant, lasting results will be evident after 4-6 treatments. The treatment is not painful as a topical anesthetic is applied for needle lengths over 0.5mm, minimising any discomfort and allowing you the best possible results. There is little to no downtime, with the main possible side effect being skin redness, which will die down after a few hours.

CIT pens use advanced vertical skin needling technology, providing patients with a more effective, minimally invasive and affordable treatment option that works to tighten, lift, rejuvenate and resurface the skin.

These CIT pens use multiple needles to vertically pierce the skin with an automatic vibrating function. When moved across the skin’s surface, it stimulates natural collagen reproduction while allowing fine channels to be created in the skin. These channels allow up to 80% more penetration from topical actives applied post-treatment.

More importantly, a CIT pen is painless, even for hard to reach and delicate places such as around the eyes, nose and lips where fine lines and wrinkles are most visible, with very little down time.

Dermal needling is the perfect solution to a wide range of non-surgical cosmetic treatments, including:

  • Skin tightening, natural collagen induction, lifting and rejuvenation
  • Healing acne scars and wounds
  • Improving wrinkles and fine lines
  • Open-pore minimisation
  • Improving stretch marks
  • Treating alopecia (when used in conjunction with a topical treatment)
  • Aiding penetration of treatment solutions
Aftercare

It is quite normal for mild sensitivity and redness after treatment. The skin may resemble a moderate sunburn, as the skin naturally heals the redness will resolve. The skin may remain red for 3 to 4 days after treatment, although it is usual for it to subside within two days. Many people are able to return to their normal activities the same or next day.

    • Hands should be thoroughly washed or sanitised before touching the treated skin area or applying skincare products to the area immediately after and in the first 2 days after treatment
    • Do not use any perfume, perfumed cosmetics or skincare products, or any fragranced products after the procedure unless specified as part of your home care regimen.
    • Not all skincare products are suitable when undergoing collagen induction therapy.
    • Avoid the use of saunas and any heat treatments for 2 weeks.
    • Avoid direct sun exposure.
    • Sunblock must be used and reapplied every 2 hours. Failure to do so may put you at risk of uneven pigmentation and loss of structural integrity.

    If you experience any adverse reactions or have any worries regarding your treatment, please contact us immediately.



PLAMERE PLASMA FIBROBLAST

The Plamere Plasma Fibroblast treatment is most advanced solution for non-surgical skin rejuvenation and skin tightening. This technology uses a non-invasive approach to achieve surgery-like results that can last up to five years. Plasma treatments help fight the signs of ageing by using the skins natural healing response to rejuvenate itself and can treat a wide variety of issues including fine lines, wrinkles, crepey skin, loss of elasticity and collagen, skin tags, milia, warts, telangiectasia and solar keratosis.

A Plamere Plasma Fibroblast treatment uses a pen like device to deliver a tiny plasma arc similar to a tiny lightning bolt to the skin in order to tighten and firm it. The device never touches the skin, instead it releases a targeted plasma arc directly above the skin. This process causes small micro wounds in the treated area which stimulate the skin fibroblast cells to produce collagen and elastin, whilst also helping to break down proteins in the skin and encouraging regeneration and contraction, which results in the tightening and rejuvenation of tissue.

A Plamere Plasma Fibroblast treatment removes or reduces fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, sagging skin on your neck or tummy. It can also remove skin imperfections like skin tags, red veins and sun damage. The results are only comparable to plastic surgery. Results will vary and will be discussed at your consultation.

In general, there will be an initial skin consultation and then most people need around 1 -3 treatments but this is relative to required results.

During the consultation your therapist will discuss which areas you wish to have treated, what your desired outcome is and whether you are on a skincare regime.

As with all advanced skin treatments, this treatment requires a healthy and well hydrated skin that has a good foundation. A good skincare regime, good nutrition, and plenty of water in the weeks before and after the treatment will help ensure the best outcome for you.

This is a non-surgical treatment, but mild discomfort may be experienced during and after treatment. Before your treatment begins a topical numbing cream is applied to the area to be treated prior and left to absorb for 30 minutes to minimise discomfort during the treatment.

Aftercare

You will be given full aftercare instructions at the time of your treatment, which will include the following:

  • Avoid active skincare products for 3-4 days after treatment.
  • Use the skin products recommended.
  • Avoid sun exposure and protect your skin with sunscreen and regular re-application.
  • Avoid excessive exercise, including swimming, spa or sauna for 72 hours after treatment.
  • Stay well hydrated.

Whilst there is minimal downtime, however, the flash does cause tiny brown carbon spots or crusts that look like freckles. These tiny crusts fall off in around 5 – 7 days. These are an essential part of the treatment and must not be picked. Skin tightening results can be seen in one to two weeks and will continue to improve over the next three months. Benefits will last typically up to five years. The natural ageing process of breaking down the collagen will then take place. There are many factors that contribute to collagen and elastin breakdown including lifestyle and age.
