Laser TherapiesIntense Pulse Light (IPL Luminette)
IPL stands for Intense Pulse Light. It has a light-based device that uses filters to isolate specific wavelengths of light that can help to improve unwanted brown spots and redness as well as perform hair reduction. It is basically used to even out complexion and improve the look of sun damaged skin -- typically known as "photofacial." The light treatment identifies the pigmentation or vascular lessions as unwanted color on the skins surface. The light is attracted to these areas and pulls the color to the surface. Immediately following the procedure the skin may look much worse. Pulses of these combined energies are applied to the skin by a hand-piece, delivering treatment at different depths within the skin with minimal discomfort and recovery time or restrictions. IPL is performed to: * Remove unwanted hair long-term * Improve skin firmness, tone & texture * Fade dark spots & visible sun damage.
Hair Removal for Women with PCOS
Hair over-growth is a common side effect of PCOS and because light based treatments do not interfere with medication or surgery, excessive hair growth can be treated at any stage of the medical treatment (with the exception of immediate post-operation where surgery is required).
Hair Reduction treatment using laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) devices is effective for women with PCOS but, because
unwanted hair growth in women is hormonally driven, until hormonal imbalances are resolved, increased hair growth may continue in spite of hair removal treatments
.
Where for most women, hair removal may be a permanent depilation technique, for women with PCOS, hair removal is an on-going management technique. However, treatment will significantly reduce the amount of hair present and slow down re-growth. For example, women shaving on a daily basis may find that they only require laser treatment every few weeks with no shaving in between.
Recommended to wear a high SPF cream daily.

Face, hands and chest are the first parts of the body to show signs of ageing because they receive so much sun exposure. Age spots, skin pigmentation and freckles are forms of pigmented lesions .The increased pigmentation of age spots is brought on by ageing, over exposure to the sun or other forms of ultraviolet lights.Solutions for Skin Pigmentation

Permanent Hair Reduction
Intense pulsed light systems release precisely controlled strong pulses of filtered light that are absorbed by melanin, the pigment in hair. This heats up the hair and destroys the cells responsible for hair growth, to achieve long term hair reduction The area will also be cooled to increase comfort during treatment. The light guide is placed on the skin and a short pulse of light is released, targeting many follicles simultaneously. The applicator is then moved to the neighbouring area of skin and the process is repeated until the entire area is treated. The ideal patient is fair skinned with dark hair. The darker the hair, the more easily it is treated, as darker hair contains more melanin it will heat up more easily. Fairer hair contains less melanin and is harder to treat. Grey/white hair has no melanin so cannot be effectively treated.The hair follicles are damaged by heat but the hairs remain in the follicles. The hairs fall out after 1 -3 weeks as the epidermis renews. During this period the hairs will seem to grow' as they are pushed out by the new epidermis.
After treatment the hairs are loose in the follicle and can sometimes be easily pulled out with tweezers. The skin can become quite red immediately after treatment, however most patients experience no side effects and any skin reaction usually disappears within a few hours. Only hair in the active growth stage of the growth cycle is affected, therefore multiple treatments are needed. Treatment is conducted every 2-8 weeks, depending on the site treated, until a satisfactory result is seen. The number of treatments required varies, but typically 6 or more treatments are required for maximum results. Treatments can take from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on which area is being treated. A small percentage of people will not respond satisfactorily to light-assisted hair removal.

Red Veins & Rosacea Treatment (Face Only)
Intense pulsed light and laser systems release precisely controlled strong pulses of filtered light that are absorbed by the blood vessel, heating it to a point where it is destroyed. Following treatment the vessels quickly clear and are re-absorbed by the body, leaving little or no trace of the original lesion The fairer the skin, the easier the treatment. The best response is seen with small thread veins, spider naevi and rosacea. If there are any areas of broken skin, treatment has to be delayed until the area has completely healed. Redness and a warm sensation are normal after treatment. The vessels should fade quickly, and some disappear immediatelyTreatments typically take from 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the type and size of lesion.

Acne & Acne Scar Treatment
The Intense Pulsed Light system releases yellow, green and red light that is emitted in a series of short pulses. The yellow/green light destroys the bacteria that live in the skin and cause acne, while the red light directly targets the overactive sebaceous glands that cause outbreaks of pustules. This targeted eating deep in the skin causes shrinkage of the inflamed sebaceous glands and helps to prevent over-production of excess sebum.
Almost everyone can be treated, apart from very dark skinned or tanned individuals. Pregnant women or people taking the acne treatment Roaccutane should not be treated.The light energy is absorbed by the skin, and heats it up very quickly, creating a sharp, short-lived pinprick sensation. Redness and a slight warming sensation are normal after treatment It will be necessary to avoid sun exposure or use a high protection sunscreen for 2 weeks after the treatment The treated area can become quite red immediately after treatment. However, most patients experience no side effects and the redness usually disappears within a couple of hours. Very rarely the skin may become lighter or darker, or a small blister may form. If is possible that some hair loss will occur in the area treated, and it could be permanent, so men should consider this possibility before agreeing to treatment of their beard area.
The number of treatments necessary varies from person to person, but typically 6 Intense Pulsed Light and 6 Glycolic acid peel treatments will result in significant improvement, depending on the severity of the condition.
