Lumenis One LightSheer™

We offer the LightSheer™ Diode Laser, the worlds most advanced treatment for effective removal of unwanted hair. This is great news for men and women who want to remove excess hair faster with less discomfort and more reliably than other methods.

About LightSheer Laser Treatment

A laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. The light emitted by the LightSheer™ diode laser is well absorbed by the pigment located in hair follicles. During the procedure, the laser pulses for a fraction of a second, long enough to heat up the hair and significantly impede the follicle’s ability to regrow. This process also treats numerous hair follicles simultaneously. Therefore, LightSheer™ is appropriate for treating even the largest areas of the body both quickly and effectively.

An important part of the procedure is the cooling of the skin. A special contact-cooling handpiece allows your physician to treat even the most sensitive skin. It protects and cools the upper layer of the skin before, during and after each laser pulse while directing the laser energy to the hair root.


Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) with Optimal Pulsed Technology
Optimum Pulse technology (OPT™) is a new breakthrough in Intense Pulsed Light (IPL™) technology unique to the Lumenis One. IPL™ featuring OPT™ can correct a variety of benign skin conditions in a safer, more comfortable way. Treatable conditions include those such as facial skin imperfections, birthmarks, unsightly small veins, brown pigment, age spots, freckles and sun damaged neck and chests. Lumenis One offers a safe, non invasive solution that can be tailored to your individual condition and skin type, providing superior cosmetic results and outstanding satisfaction, through photorejuvenation.

Depending on the number of skin conditions you are treating, and the severity of the individual problem, a series of four to six treatment sessions may be recommended. You can return to work the same day and resume all your regular activities.

By dividing the full program into several treatments, the procedure provides gradual improvement with very low risk – and, it preserves the wonderful “no down time” feature that people appreciate so much.

Microdermabrasion

We offer diamond head microdermabrasion, which safely and effectively removes dead skin cells from the top of the epidermal layer, resulting in a fresh, glowing appearance. For problematic skin or specific skin problems, a series of treatments may be needed at weekly intervals. This is a non-invasive, relaxing treatment.

We have the latest technology that enables us to professionally analyse your skin by taking photographs and the Visia will analyse them for specific problems i.e. open pores, lines, pigmentation, red veins and sun damage. We offer this as a complimentary service for those clients considering IPL™.

Dermal Fillers

For a softer younger look... naturally

  • Lip Enhancements
  • Facial Line Smoothing

Restylane, Perlane, Cosmoplast, and Cosmoderm are part of group collectively known as "Fillers". As these products as they are identical to natural substances in the body, they are completely natural and safe.

Lip Enhancement
Lips that are soft and full help create a beautiful smile and a more confident appearance.

Now with the latest injectables such as Restylane / Perlane or Cosmoplast, your lips can be contoured to create the size and shape you desire and restore the lost fullness that time has depleted.

    lip border and lines - gradually over time your lips can become thinner and smaller as well as developing fine lines at the edges into which lipstick 'bleeds'. Injecting small amounts of Restylane or Cosmoplast can restore a smooth defined border and a natural youthful look.

    fuller lips - this treatment is tailored to suit each individual from a mild natural touch up to a more glamourous pout.


 

Facial Line Smoothing
These fillers are used to fill out or plump up lines on your face that have been created by the loss of elasticity in the skin as you age. By restoring the volume to these areas your skin will look smoother and softer resulting in a fresher and more youthful appearance.

  • lines around the eyes
  • lines around the mouth

BOTOX ® / DYSPORT ®

Wrinkle Injections
For frown lines and crows feet

Botulinum toxin type A (Botox ® and Dysport ®) is now NZ's no1 treatment for facial lines and wrinkles . It dramatically softens facial lines, leaving you looking younger.

It is safe, quick and straight forward and can be combined with other treatments such as fillers (either natural collagen or non- collagen) to give you the complete facial makeover.

It works by relaxing the dynamic facial muscles that are responsible for facial wrinkles. The main areas it is used for are the frown, crowsfeet and forehead areas. After a few painless injections you can carry on your normal day and wait for lines to soften over the next 3-5 days. This relaxed fresher look will stay with you for 3-6 months.

Radiosurgery

For removal of raised moles, skin growths and facial veins.

After injecting a small volume of local anaesthetic, the lesion is shaved back to a natural flat level using a tungsten electrode. The surgitron both cuts and cauterises, allowing  surgery virtually without bleeding.

A specimen is sent to the laboratory for histological examination with the results sent to your general practitioner.

This procedure is ideal for removal of raised moles, skin tags, and senile and seborrhoeic keratoses.

The procedure offers a quick, cost effective means of removal of these lesions, rarely leaving scars.


Facial Veins:
Most facial veins are caused by solar damage to the skin. There is often a genetic predisposition to their development.

The surgitron (radiofrequency device) is an ideal and cost effective way of diminishing unsightly veins. Generally each session last around twenty minutes, and a course of 3 to 5 sessions is usually required.

At a fraction of the cost of laser or IPL therapies, it is a very attractive option.


Sclerotherapy

Thread Veins:
Sclerotherapy is a safe and effective way of eliminating unsightly spider and painful varicose veins, giving legs an even and youthful appearance.

During the treatment a solution of Sclerovein® or sotradechol (detergent sclerosants) will be injected directly into the veins with a tiny needle. The sclerosing solution causes the vein to blanche (turn white), and then gradually disappear. Because blood flow is shifted to other healthy veins nearby, sclerotherapy actually improves the circulation in your legs.

Injection sclerotherapy may eliminate the need for an invasive surgical procedure. A few areas on each leg can be treated during a session. Usually, a number treatments will be necessary to treat all existing veins.

An entire treatment takes no longer than thirty minutes. After the treatment you can walk out with no discomfort. It is recommended that clients wear compression stockings for one week following treatment to improve the outcome and minimise complications.
