Capillaries, veins and general redness can all be treated We have an answer for vascular lesions often found on face, neck and chest. Intense pulsed light can be used very efficiently to treat these vascular abnormalities. We use light energy directed precisely to the chromophores in the skin to target and eliminate the unwanted vessels. The light is preferentially absorbed by haemoglobin [ red chromophores ] within the capillary or the vascular lesion. The absorbed light is converted to heat, which alters the capillary wall promoting its removal. If you experience skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, a tendency to keloid scarring, any photo-sensitivity, have taken Roaccutane or Isotretinoin in the past 6 months you may not be able to undertake this treatment, or may need advice from your treating practitioner first.

Unwanted freckles, age spots and sun spots are a thing of the past.

We have an answer for discolourations in the skin. New non-invasive aesthetic technology that utilises light at specific wavelengths to treat melanin deposits in the skin can treat a wide range of pigmentation on most skin types. How does pigmentation removal work? An intense pulse of light is released via a hand piece which specifically targets the pigmented lesions. As the photons from the light hit the molecules of the chromophores [coloured targets] within the skin the light turns to heat, destroying the lesions, all while leaving the surrounding skin structure unaffected.
