1. PERMANENT HAIR REDUCTION (laser hair removal, IPL hair removal)

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is an advanced light-based technology. It works by delivering shots of light of many different wavelengths over the area being treated. With hair removal treatments the light is absorbed by pigment in the hair (melanin) causing hair follicles to heat up (selective photo-thermolysis). This result is destruction of hair follicles and permanent hair reduction. Different sets of configurations are used to treat various hair and skin types and conditions.

2. Cellulite reduction and Wrinkle therapy

New “Virtual” Mesotherapy based on electromagnetic current concept – electroporation. This new concept is founded on the phenomenon, discovered by Dr Praunist, based on 2003 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. This remarkable method allows us to deliver highly potent natural ingredients into the deep layer of the skin (the fatty layer) to achieve extraordinary results.

MESOFILLER or Wrinkle Therapy - stimulates the skin’s vital functions, activates collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Fills wrinkles and smoothes finer lines.

MESOSLIM & MESOFIRMNESS or Cellulite Therapy - treats circulation, fluid retention, adipose tissue accumulation and loss of body contour. Any finally strengthens the skin’s elasticity targeting breasts, arms, abdomen, thighs.

3. VASCULAR TREATMENTS (redness, broken capillaries, spider veins)

Different configurations to those that are utilized for hair removal are used to treat vascular conditions such as fine diffused redness, broken capillaries and spider veins. At the time of the treatment light is absorbed into the blood vessel and the heat damages its walls. The body then reabsorbs what’s left of the vessel along with its contents and replaces it with collagen. The results can sometimes be seen within only a couple of weeks after the treatment, but may take up to 6 weeks to appear.

4. SKIN PIGMENTATION TREATMENTS (age spots, sun damage, freckles)

Pigmentation is usually caused by exposure to sun and Redness from blood vessels sitting too close to the surface of the skin. Solar damage responds best to IPL treatments. The principle is the same as before. The light will absorb into the darker part of the skin (eg sun spot) which will appear significantly darker almost after the session. It will lighten up over a few weeks following your treatment.

5. SKIN REJUVENATION (acne, lines, blemishes, uneven color, other imperfections)

Skin rejuvenation treatments combine treatments for pigmentation and mild vascular issues. These treatments encourage the production of collagen, which in turn improves skin’s appearance, enhances its condition. You can expect a wonderfully new texture, color and radiance. These treatments are non-invasive, gentle and extremely effective.

8. SCLEROTHERAPY OF VEINS (capillaries and spider veins)*  

Sclerotherapy consists of repeated injections of a solution into the veins This irritates the vein lining, causing a small, inconsequential clot in the vein. With the blood flow stopped, the vein will dry up and eventually disappear. This procedure is generally performed on the lower extremities. The solution is usually injected into the veins two or three times over a period of several weeks. Although the veins will generally begin to disappear within several weeks following treatment, it may take up to several months. This process may need to be repeated, depending on the degree of severity. These veins do not serve a purpose; leaving or removing them causes no health problem.

9. MESOTHERAPY (fat & cellulite reduction, body sculpting)*  

Mesotherapy has been touted as the latest breakthrough in aesthetic medicine. It is the practice of using microinjections of conventional or homeopathic medication and/or vitamins into the mesoderm or middle layer of skin to deliver healing or corrective treatment to a specific area of the body. Mesotherapy injections generally are a solution of various vitamins, minerals, enzymes, plant extracts, anaesthetics, medications and amino acids. The ingredients in the solution depend on your individual treatment needs and the desired effect you want to achieve. Phosphatidylcholine is the main product for dissolving fat.  A treatment cycle could require as few as 4 and as many as 10 treatments or more, depending on the size of the area being treated and the results desired. Each individual will respond differently and with each treatment; the same person can respond differently each time. This can depend on your mood, hormones and/or health. Most clients notice a difference after the first treatment. There is no down time or recovery time for this procedure. Following treatments, hot showers should be avoided for 8 hrs. Treatments on the face require avoiding makeup for at least 4 hours. There usually is some bruising and burning discomfort. Clients usually experience bruising, burning sensation and/or tenderness for 7-10 days.
