Intense pulsed light IPL hair removal has largely replaced lasers for hair removal because it is faster, more comfortable and able to treat darker skin types safely. There are a wide variety of intense pulsed light machines and the terminology referring to them can be confusing.

We use the Palomar Smooth IPL system because it will deliver power with comfort: for you this translates into hair removal that gives permanent results.

How does IPL hair removal work?

Intense pulsed light [IPL] hair removal uses light energy to heat up and destroy the hair bulb, this produces a permanent reduction in the quanity and quality of hair.

IPL hair treatment.

What areas can be treated with intense pulsed light [IPL]? All face and body areas can be safely treated except onto the eyelids.

Women commonly want: bikini or Brazilian as well as lip, chin and other facial hair, underarm and full leg or arm.

Men commonly want: back, chest, stomach, neck, ear hair and for sporting enthusiasts or body builders, sometimes full body hair.

IPL permanent hair removal.

Is intense pulsed light [IPL] really permanent? With the Palomar smooth IPL power levels are sufficient to achieve at the very least permanent reduction in unwanted hair. The response to intense pulsed light hair removal depends on several factors including your skin type and the colour and coarseness of the hair you want to get rid of.

It is best to come in for a free assessment then we will be able to advise if you are suitable for hair removal with intense pulsed light.

IPL hair removal cost.

The price for IPL hair removal is dependent on the area treated and the technology used. Some hair removal clinics have low end machines that only achieve hair stunting. The cheapest option may not be the best if it does not actually permanently reduce your unwanted hair.

IPL vs laser hair removal.

Most often people refer to IPL hair removal treatments as laser hair removal or IPL laser hair removal. Although IPL is a laser like technology it is not a true laser. In fact it is faster and more comfortable than older laser hair removal technology.

treatments are three times faster than laser hair removal and even waxing

suitable for large areas such as the legs or back

Hair removal for men is a relatively new phenomenon. Until recently men chose hair removal for sporting or occupational pursuit: cyclists and body builders for example were early adopters. However hair removal for men has become common place across all professions, age groups, size and ethnicity.

Laser hair removal for men has grown increasingly popular: men tend to have larger areas to remove and guys being practical and not partial to pain have found waxing and shaving tedious and unpleasant.

In fact in 2007 laser hair removal was the 4th most popular non surgical cosmetic procedure in America (figures for Australia are not available, but this is probably reflective of Australian trends which has seen exponential growth in men wanting permanent hair reduction.)

The most popular hair removal for men

1. Back hair
2. Chest and abdomen
3. Neck
4. Full arms
5. Full Legs
6. Male bikini

A Cosmetic Tattoo is the application of natural pigments into the dermal layer of the skin to create semi permanent makeup. Cosmetic tattooing is commonly referred to as permanent makeup, however the pigments fade over time (lasting 3-5 years) and reapplication is required to maintain the permanent makeup look.

Cosmetic tattooing is completely safe. Victoria our cosmetic tattooist uses only approved pigments, disposable single use application and follows strict health and safety regulations.

Cosmetic tattoos can be used for a variety of semi permanent cosmetic enhancements.

eyebrows

eye liner

lip liner

lip blend or lipstick colour

What is the difference between a cosmetic tattoo and traditional tattooing?

Besides the obvious that a cosmetic tattoo is a semi permanent enhancement of natural features rather than an artistic statement, the placement of pigment, the machine and type of pigment used are different.

Cosmetic tattooing involves using natural pigments, placed more superficially to create a softer less permanent enhancement.

Is a cosmetic tattoo painful?

Topical anaesthetic creams are used to make the procedure more comfortable. Because we have trained Medical and Nursing staff present at all times there is an option to have analgesic block for lip procedures. Victoria will discuss this with you at your free consultation.

How much downtime is there with a cosmetic tattoo?

There is slight reddness and swelling after the procedure, but this settles quickly. You can go back to normal activities immediedly although complete healing and settling takes one to four weeks. The final colour takes around 4 weeks to achieve and Victoria will see you for a check up 4 weeks post treatment. at that stage a touch up can be applied to refine the colour and shape if required.

Our cosmetic tattooist, Victoria will spend time discussing what you want and though she will lend her professional opinion on the style, shape and colour to enhance your natural features, the choice is ultimately yours.Victoria specialises in:

Eyebrow tattoo

With a soft natural look: using ‘hair strokes’ technique you achieve a more natural eye brow look rather than the old ‘nikko pen’ look.

Eyeliner tattoo

With a smudged natural look to define the eyes subtly rather than a block of colour, though some people prefer thicker, more dramatic or exotic look. Shades to enhance eye colour and eyelash enhancement are also very popular.

Lip liner tattoo and lip blend tattoo

With a soft natural colour palette that looks as if ‘you haven’t got makeup on’. Although a bolder application is preferred by some.

Lip colour, lip liner and lip blend

As routinue part of professional permanent makeup application a touch up with refinement of colour and shape is required at one month: this has two advantages, it allows a time for the makeup to settle (there is always an initial fading) allowing you to adjust to the new colour and shape and means at the second visit any refinements can be applied. It is always best to tread lightly on the first application to avoid any unwanted surprises.

Though called permanent makeup the application is really a semi permanent enhancement lasting up to 5 years. Touch ups need to be applied after a period to maintain your colour and style definition permanently.

Skin Pigmentation is caused by excess production and clumping of the skin pigment ‘melanin’ with the appearance of darker brown or even black spots of pigmentation in skin.

Treatment for skin pigmentation depends on the underlying cause of the brown or black patches, however intense pulsed light therapy effectively removes most types of skin pigmentation.

Intense pulsed light cannot be used universally for skin pigmentation problems.
All skin pigmentation should be diagnosed correctly before treatment is undertaken.

Intense pulsed light vs laser skin pigmentation treatment.

Intense pulsed light [IPL] has now largely replaced laser skin pigmentation treatments. Intense pulsed light is more affordable, comfortable, faster and has the added benefit of removing unwanted capillaries and stimulating collagen for healthy skin production in the same treatment session.

Skin pigmentation causes.

Pigmentation of the skin results from:

sun exposure , this does not necessarily entail sun baking: as we drive, put up washing, walk to the shops, minutes of exposure over years cause damage.

hormonal pigmentation in women caused by the contraceptive pill or pregnancy (melasma, cholasma)

injury to the skin from burns, chemical peels, laser treatments or acne causes hyperpigmentation

birthmarks

Skin Pigmentation Treatment.

1.Skin pigmentation caused from sun damage responds well to intense pulsed light treatments.
Freckles, sun spots, liver spots and age spots are the names commonly used.

Intense pulsed light creates a more even skin colour by
gently and progressively fading hated pigmentation marks, so you:

feel comfortable wearing a dress that shows your chest, shoulders or back.

stop worrying about the appearance of your hands

feel comfortable going out in public without makeup on

2. Melasma can respond to intense pulsed light when it is used in combination with pigmentation lightening products.

3. Most birthmarks respond well to Intense pulsed light providing an affordable, painless treatment to assist in fading.

4. Hyper pigmentation should never be treated with lasers or intense pulsed light because it will make the skin pigment worse. Prescription lightening agents can provide assistance.

The use of medical rollers for needling scars is an exciting new treatment in Cosmetic medicine. Skin needling works to induce healthy new collagen in the skin, so though originally used for scar treatment it has found wider application for treatment of wrinkles and stretch marks. Because of the safety on all skin types skin needling for scars is widely practiced in cosmetic doctors rooms across the world.

What scars can be treated with needling?

Scar needling safely treats and improves the cosmetic appearance of:

acne scars

surgical scars

the edges of skin graft scars

chicken pox scars

How does needling scar treatment work?

Skin needling improves scar appearance by stimulating your skin to produce collagen. The medical roller creates multiple pin point wounds to the skin, stimulating release of growth factors and laying down of new collagen.

In a nutshell needling scars has a similar improvement in cosmetic appearance to laser and chemical peels, but is less invasive, has low risk of complication and significantly improved recovery and gives a more natural healthy look to your skin. Read more on how skin needling works.

Needling scars is affordable.

Needling scar treatment cost varies according to the area needing treatment. Facial acne scar needling may cost $275-$330 depending on the area involved. For larger areas such as chest and back needling will cost more, but still provides an affordable and effective alternative to laser scar treatment.

Skin needling safe for dark skin types.

The most exciting thing about skin needling is its safety profile. Because it does not cause any significant trauma to the surface of the skin, needling dark skin types is very safe. Unlike laser and chemical peels which cause significant surface trauma with high risk of hypo or hyper pigmentation after treatment, skin needling is safe on skin type 4 and above.

Cosmetic needling safe for delicate areas.

Skin needling increases the thickness and health of skin. Previous treatment of facial scars with laser resulted in a thinner skin, which meant it is not safe to repeat treatments and caused an unnatural white appearance in a significant number of people. Needling is safe even on delicate areas around lips and eye lids.

Skin Needling scars: how many treatments are required?

Needling scar treatment generally involves 6 treatments spaced monthly to two monthly. However after the first treatment you will notice an improvement in the quality of the skin.

Needling scar treatment vs laser scar treatment.

The benefits of skin needling for scar treatment are:

no risk of hypo or hyper pigmentation

downtime is one - two days

No risk of infection

Gives permanent improvement in skin health

low cost

Needling stretchmarks provides an affordable option to improve the cosmetic appearance of the most hated of skin conditions. Claims of manufacturers of stretch mark creams have left many people very disappointed: the truth is there is nothing that will get rid of stretch marks entirely.

However skin needling provides the best treatment to improve the the texture and quality of the skin affected by stretch marks.

What causes stretch marks?

Stretch marks are caused from tearing of deeper collagen layers of the skin when there is growth that exceeds the skins ability to adapt. There are some medical causes for stretch marks however these are less common and most often they develop during normal body expansion: adolescence, pregnancy or weight gain.

Because the body attempts to repair the trauma, stretch marks are initially red from inflammation and slowly over years the red stretch marks are replaced with white fibrous scar tissue.

How does skin needling reduce stretch marks?

Skin needling induces healthy collagen and elastin production in deeper skin layers to repair the damaged areas. The area affected by stretch marks is treated with a medical roller causing tiny pin point areas of micro damage under the skin, this releases growth factors and stimulates skin fibroblasts:

to lay down healthy new collagen

induces natural melanin into the damages areas

improves blood supply to the area

Skin needling sets off a natural and progressive repair process in the skin treating the underlying cause of the stretch mark.

How to get rid of stretch marks with needling.

Everyone will experience improvement in the stretch mark appearance with needling but results are individual and depend on the severity, age and extent of the stretch marks. Early red stretchmarks are improved most though even older established white stretch marks will show some improvement.

Use of prescription vitamin A derivatives improves the outcome in all patients and is recommended, however it cannot be used in pregnant or breast feeding women, which is a significant group who suffer stretch marks.

Stretch mark treatment with skin needling.

Skin Needling for stretch marks is considered one of the only effective ways of rebuilding skin collagen. Though return to a normal skin state is not possible, significant improvement is expected, with progressive repair occurring up to a year after a treatment series is complete. Ongoing needling and repeat treatments are safe to continue repair to a cosmetically acceptable level.
