Hair removal :
Removes/ Reduces Unwanted Hairs For Ever Quickly,
Safely & Virtually painlessly for ever
You can get rid of the slow, messy, painful and skin
damaging hair removal methods like Waxing,
threading, tweezing, electrolysis, thermolysis, hair
removal creams and sprays. Long Pulse Nd: YAG (Joy
YAG) removes/ reduces unwanted hairs from all body
sites within few minutes for ever.
Laser Hair removal is a gentle non-invasive
treatment of removing unwanted hairs by using Long
Pulse Nd: YAG laser specifically designed for this
purpose.
Laser beam (a focused beam of 1064 nm wavelength)
gets absorbed in the melanin of the hair follicle
(the growth centre of hair) and increases the
temperature up to 70°C and destroys the follicular
cells permanently.
ALL PARTS of the body can be treated with hair
removing laser. In women the most common areas for
treatment are upper lip, chin, sideburns, underarms,
arms, legs and bikini line. In men, the most common
areas are shoulders and back, beard area and
sometimes ears.
It has been shown to improve the low confidence
level especially young females with excessive hairs
due to hormonal problems such as polycystic ovarian
disease (PCOD). They can move around with enhanced
feeling of social and mental well being. As for men
no hairs on chest & back makes them more masculine.
In general it takes 4-6 sittings to reduce hairs by
60-80%. But the overall results depend on hormonal
imbalance, skin type, colour of hair & skin and
individual hair growth pattern.
The
need of multiple sittings is due to the fact that
laser hair removal is most effective for hair which
is in the anagen phase. Anagen is the growth phase
of hair. Since hair grows in cycles, not all of the
hairs are in anagen at any given time. Additional
sessions are necessary to catch all of the hairs
when they are in anagen.
Coarse dark hair on light skin is easiest to treat.
Finer hair and hair on darker skin is harder to
treat and may require more treatments. It's
important to note that laser does not work on grey
and very fine and vellus hair.

Laser
photo-rejuvenation
With
age, our skin begins to display the effects of
aging. Outside factors like sun, gravity and
hormones increase the aging process. The collagen
found in our skin begins to break down and results
in fine lines around the eyes and lips, deeper lines
and grooves in the brow, and much more. Photo
rejuvenation treatments, using advancements in
technology, can treat our skin in safe, easy, gentle
and effective manner.
Photo rejuvenation, provides the patient with
smoother, healthier, younger-looking skin. While
typically performed on the face, photo rejuvenation
can also treat the neck, chest and hands.
Those people looking to enhance the appearance of
their face would represent an ideal candidate for
photo rejuvenation treatments. The common skin
conditions suitable for laser photo-rejuvenation
include:
Red, flushed faces
Sun-damaged skin
Hyperpigmentation
Enlarged Pores
Photo
rejuvenation offers many advantages, including:
No recovery time
Achieving healthier and smoother looking skin
Reducing pore size
More even skin tone
Reducing redness and flushing caused by acne rosacea
Reducing the size of wrinkles
Enhancing appearance and boosting self-confidence
Becoming less self-conscious about appearance
Regaining a more youthful look
A fine
laser beam specifically targets individual spots and
blood vessels whilst causing thermal (heat) energy
on the skin, stimulating cells deep below the
surface to produce new collagen, resulting in a more
youthful, healthier appearance with the added bonus
of skin tightening.
Laser remodels the collagen a protein which is
situated in your skin resulting in reduction of skin
wrinkles and makes your face look smoother and
younger. The age spots & visible blood vessels are
removed /reduced during photo rejuvenation.
Each
treatment takes 20-30 minutes and four to six
treatments are recommended over an 8 to 12 week
period. After each session the area may appear red
for up to an hour. However, make-up can immediately
be applied and, as no wound is created, no healing
time is required.
Laser Facial-Rejuvenation can be combined with other
procedures such as micro-dermabrasion, anti-wrinkle
injections, and Thermage for overall facial
revitalization.
