Laser hair treatments.

Why do you need a cycle of treatments for laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal targets the pigment of the hair called melanin. The light grabs onto the pigment heats up the hair bulb, which injures or destroys it.

However when the light from the laser machine is flashed onto the skin, it will only affect hair that is in active growth phase.

At any one time, the hair in a particular part of the body will be dormant, and there will be no hair in the follicle, the light at this time will have no affect on the hair bulb as there is no hair in the follicle for it to grab onto.

Cycles of Laser Hair Removal.


“hair grows in different cycles depending on the part of the body:
treatment cycles are required to catch hair as it passes into its active growth stage”

    Laser hair removal complications.

    Complications of laser hair removal are rare and can be eliminated if the assessment is performed by a qualified person.

    Because the technology of laser hair removal is very powerful and potentially dangerous:

  • It is important that assessment of skin type be accurate
  • that any underlying pigmented lesions are properly diagnosed before treatment is undertaken
  • and that safety protocols are followed.
  • Laser Hair Removal Complications

    Complications that can occur if improperly applied range from pain, swelling and redness to blistering and worse there can be scarring and skin pigmentation or depigmentation.

    For this reason it is wise to spend a little time finding a good clinic and not go for the cheapest option.

    Cost of Laser Hair Removal

    How much does it cost for laser hair removal?

    Australians spend a lot of money on hair removal each year.

  • over $100 million yearly on razor blades
  • $30 million on waxes and hair removal creams
  • and even more on waxing at beauty clinics
  • Though the cost of a permanent solution may seem daunting to start with when we add up the amount we already spend in dollars and hours: laser hair removal suddenly becomes an attractive cost effective solution.

  • waxing large areas is very uncomfortable

    How To Get Rid Of Marionette Lines

    Marionette lines can be easily removed without surgery using dermal fillers. It is important to understand how marionette lines form to understand why fillers are effective in getting rid of them and restoring a more youthful rejuvenated face.

    Dermal Fillers treat wrinkles Brisbane

    How do Marionette Lines form?

    The dominant cause of aging of the face is volume loss. As we get less young and loose volume, the skin begins to sag with the pull of gravity.

    However there are areas on the face where the skin is attached to deeper structures with fibrous connections. So as volume loss occurs and facial structures sag, folds develop around the areas of fibrous attachment.

    Marionette lines form from descent of cheek pads, and folding at areas of deeper fibrous attachments around mouth and chin area.

    Removing marionette lines

    Marionette lines are effectively removed with dermal fillers. Dermal fillers act to replace the volume loss in the skin, thereby plumping out and restoring volume without surgery. Restoration of marionette lines also involves rejuvenation around the lip area: getting rid of the ’sad’ looking down turning at the sides of the mouth. The result: a happier younger looking face.

    How to get rid of Nasolabial Lines

    Nasolabial folds are lines that develope between the nose and the mouth as you get less young. Nasolabial folds and other mid and lower face changes cause the face to take on an aged appearance. What causes the nasolabial lines and how are they best treated?

    Dermal Fillers treat wrinkles Brisbane

    Nasolabial Lines.

    Nasolabial lines develop because of:

  • Volume loss in the face and
  • Gravity
  • With volume loss the skin starts to sag with the pull of gravity. There are areas on the face where skin is fixed to deeper structures so folds and lines develop around these points. As the cheek pads decend, folding occurs around the nasolabial area which is fixed.

    The descent of the cheek pads causes nasolabial lines.

    Removing Nasolabial Lines.

    Nasolabial folds are easily and effectively treated without surgery with dermal fillers. Dermal fillers work by restoring the volume loss, hence they plump out the nasolabial lines and restore a more youthful appearance to your face. There are several dermal filler options available. The one best suited to your facial rejuvenation depends on many factors and needs to be assessed by a Doctor experienced in anti-aging facial rejuvenation.

    Fuller lips - the fashion.

    With Angelina Jolie as the number one face in the world at the moment, full beautiful lips have come into prominence as a symbol of appeal. But is it Angelina Jolie who has brought full lips into fashion, or is it that with lip enhancement injections, this is at least one feature on the face that a woman can change at whim?

    Skin Revision for Fuller Lips Brisbane

    Lip and Eyes.

    The appeal of lips is not a new, they are considered along with eyes as the most important features of attractiveness. Since the emergence of Hollywood starlets lip cosmetic fashion has changed along with the beautiful iconic woman of the time. However Jolie has brought lips to a whole new level of desire.

    Though people still refer to Bette Davis’s eyes and the undeniable fact that Jolie’s eyes are just as gorgeous as the rest of her, it is her lips that have become the centre of speculation, with web sites dedicated to pictures and talk of her lips, are they real? Apparently yes they are.

    What about lip plumpers?

    A whole new industry has sprouted in lip gloss plumpers, just search the web to find the sites claiming to be able to plump lips with just a gloss? Come on really? To my knowledge the only available lip plumper that works is performed in a Cosmetic Doctor’s surgery.

    Gloss does work to give a fuller look because of the reflection of light, however they cannot as many claim change the shape of your lip or effect any change that isn’t wiped off with your first cup of coffee in the morning.

    What options available to women wanting fuller lips?

    Lip size and shape are genetically determined, but you do not necessarily need to accept what you where born with. If you feel your lips could use a little more fullness or balance contact us to find out about your lip enhancement options.
