TREATMENTS
I offer a wide range of laser and IPL treatments from Fractional Laser for scars and wrinkles , to hair , pigment and vein removal or removing unwanted tattoos.
LASER AND IPL
I carry out IPL and Laser hair removal using my versatile Lynton Lumina system. The physics behind these two modalities is the same, albeit delivered in slightly different ways.
A chromophore, in this case melanin, in the hair itself is targeted with the light energy, which converts to a heat energy.
This in turn travels down the follicle, to the base, where it is heated and destroyed. The hair therefore cannot grow back.
I choose which modality to use depending on your skin type and the area to be treated.
All areas of the body can be treated including facial hair , even that caused by poly -cystic ovarian syndrome.
An initial test patch and consultation must be carried out at least 24 hours before full treatment.
During the procedure cool air is continuously blown on the skin to minimise any discomfort.
Post procedure soothing lotion is applied and sun protection to any exposed areas. Full post treatment instructions will be given to you.
IPL hair removal is extremely effective and safe and very well tolerated.
TATTOO REMOVAL
I have been removing tattoos safely and effectively for many years now with my powerful Q Switched Nd:Yag Laser.
Black and red is extremely effective , other colours are very succesful too.
I am always happy to give a free consultation and an estimate of cost either in person or over the phone. Many clients send me a picture first. It does take a few treatments, but I will tell you how many I think your tattoo will need.
Often I am sent clients by tattoo artists to fade a tattoo down prior to a change.
INJECTABLES
Injectables come in 2 forms... fillers and muscle relaxants or toxin.
HA or Hyaluronic Acid is the most commonly used filler for plumping lips, filling lines and adding volume and definition to the face.
There are a wide range of Fillers available.
Currently I am providing
ART FILLER - Fine lines
Universal
Lips Soft
Lips
Volume
JUVEDERM Ultra and Vycross ranges
PROFHILO
RESTYLANE
BELOTERO
These are all HA fillers with exemplary safety records.
I pride myself on delivering subtle and natural results from enhancing lips to lifting cheeks and upper face.
I have been injecting as a nurse for 35 years. You can be assured that my craft has been refined and honed over the last 17 years in aesthetics to keep my clients looking the best they can, as naturally as possible.
NCTF and MH10
Bio Nutri Eye and Bio Nutri neck
EYE and NECK ANTI AGEING combination treatments.
Eye treatment starts with a full face Bright Peel, followed by a Radio Frequency Collagen boosting eye treatment. Then NCTF Mesotherapy follows which is very tiny , very comfortable injections with the patented Nanosoft 0.6 mm needle. The NCTF contains HA and 50 different vitamins and minerals, to brighten, tighten and hydrate the delicate eye area. This is all followed by a blissful 10 minutes under my collagen boosting Omnilux Revive red light with a soothing and hydrating peptide/ collagen eye mask on .
Neck treatment is divided into two sessions. Again a Bright Peel , Radio Frequency and then injections of both NCTF and MHA 10 which is a slightly thicker 10mg form of Hyaluronic Acid. Followed by the Omnilux Revive.
At the second session Fractional Laser is used over the whole neck area to induce a collagen response.
These can be one off treatments, although 3 to 4 are recommended for best results.
FRACTIONAL LASER RESURFACING
State of the art powerful laser resurfacing for wrinkles, pigmentation and scarring , especially acne scarring and smokers mouth lines.
Any area of the body can be treated with my very effective collagen stimulating laser.
Initial resurfacing of superficial pigmentation is followed by collagenesis deep in the dermis.
PROMAX LIPO
Ultrasound waves combined with Radio Frequency cause heating of fat molecules, making them liquid in order to be expelled from the body.
Combined with strong massage and vacuum suction, this enables stubborn areas of fat such as tummy and hips to be dispersed and collagen bands to be tightened, resulting in improvement in the appearance of cellulite.
Pigmentation and Vascular lesions
We live on an island blessed with many sunny days and unfortunately the UVA damage that accompanies that.
Have you heard the phrases "UVA even on a cloudy day"
"A for ageing B for burning." ?
UVA is responsible for broken veins, unsightly brown marks and wrinkles. It penetrates glass and slices into the epidermis , even bouncing off your computer screen. It's present all year round so I always advise a sun block in the winter months too when we are out and about in the elements.
Treatment is with laser or IPL and peels can be very effective too. Again a combination of these will help to remove them.
The minimal skin care advice I give is to use Vitamin A or Retinol and high factor sun block 30 in winter, 50 in summer . Vitamin A encourages new skin cells to grow and Sun block prevents further damage.
Pigment initially turns darker after treatment then gradually flakes off leaving a thinner layer underneath.
A few sessions are needed for complete removal.
For broken veins , the energy heats the walls of the vessels until they collapse and the blood supply is halted. The body then mops up the old blood and carried it away, a bit like healing a bruise. The vessels shrink away and gradually disappear.
