Permanent Hair Removal

Permanent hair removal has become one of the top four non surgical cosmetic procedures. Why?

Unwanted hair is a problem for women and men.

  • Excess facial and body hair can be from inherited factors, with excessive hair appearing from teenage years in people from some ethic backgrounds.
  • In others it is something that appears as you get older: unexpected chin or upper lip hair in women or for men the ears sprouting growth.
  • Sometimes it is just about not wanting to have to worry about hair. A permanently smooth bikini line or Brazilian, leg, chest, back, neck, underarm…or any part of the body that you are tired of maintaining with waxing, shaving or other depilatory treatments. You want to go to the beach, the gym or even to work without thinking about your hair situation.
  • Maybe you have problem with other forms of hair removal: recurrent ingrown hairs, infections, irritations or pigment changes.
  • Or you are just tired: of tedious, time consuming or painful hair removal rituals…
  • Whatever your reason: permanent hair removal provides an effective, comfortable, easy solution
    to all of your hair removal needs.

  • 4 to 10 treatments- depending on skin type and treatment area.
  • 4 to 8 weeks between treatment -depending on body area.
  • Sside effects of permanent hair removal: minor redness or swelling which disappear quickly.
  • How does hair removal work?

    Permanent hair reduction works to damage the hair follicle by heating the hair bulb. Though many factors including the nature of the hair and the skin colour will effect the outcome of IPL and pulsed light treatments, it is the power of the machine that has most impact on the outcome.

    Competitive pricing is always good and it is human nature to seek the lowest price. However with hair removal as in any sphere, the lowest price may not always be the best.

    The hair removal market has been flooded with low end, low power pulsed light machines. The machine costs less and the hair removal price are cheaper but if the machine does not have enough power to achieve permanent hair reduction then it is an expensive waste of money.

    Facial Capillaries

    Intense pulsed light treats unwanted facial capillaries and rejuvenates skin health.

    Surface facial capillaries are red spidery spots that occur when tiny vessels in the skin are damaged by the sun and other factors, causing them to be permanently dilated and visible.

    What causes facial capillaries?

  • strong genetic factors in the appearance of surface capillaries: occur more often in individuals with fair skin, blonde or red hair and blue green eyes
  • alcohol, spicy foods and caffeine can dilate the capillaries but do not really cause them
  • free radical damage from sun exposure is the most prevalent cause of surface facial capillaries.
  • Intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments counter the ravages of sun damage.

    Not only does IPL treatments fade or get rid of facial capillaries but also stimulates collagen production to produce a more youthful quality and texture to the skin.

    Before and After IPL capillary treatment

    Intense pulsed light therapy (IPL) can eliminate surface broken capillaries.

    Intense pulsed light treatment is effective in treating facial capillaries. It is usually possible to remove all traces of these unsightly blemishes. At the very least you can expect a reduction in size and amount of facial capillaries and a more even skin tone.

  • Intense pulsed light works by selectively damaging the surface capillary leaving normal skin unharmed.
  • There is no down time with the treatments.
  • The amount of treatments required is individual however it will usually take four treatments to see a progressive fading of the unsightly facial capillaries.

    Anti Wrinkle Injections

    Anti-wrinkle injections.

    Anti-wrinkle injections are commonly used to remove wrinkles in the upper half of the face. Wrinkles that are suitable to be removed with anti wrinkle injections include eye wrinkles, forehead lines and frown lines that develope between the eyebrows.

    The injections are a purified protein with well established safety profile and well known. Frustratingly due to TGA restrictions we cannot name the product we use to treat wrinkles so for further information you will need to email us or call for a free consultation.

    How do anti wrinkle injections work?

    The treatments work by relaxing wrinkle causing muscles, once relaxed the skin on the surface smooths to create a softer, younger and more refreshed appearance.

  • when the muscles that cause frowning are relaxed they make the vertical frown line between the eyes reduce or disappear
  • when used around the eyes they prevent the appearance of eye wrinkles or crows feet
  • when used in the forehead they smooth forehead lines to create a beautifully smooth brow
  • Anti wrinkle injections do not include dermal fillers which are used to remove lines and folds. Anti wrinkle injections are used to remove wrinkles caused from movement or wear and tear on the skin.
