Acne

 

Acne Vulgaris In the active phase, acne should be

controlled to avoid or reduce the formation of scars.

Acne treatment with the 400-1200 nm IPL handpiece is

totally drug-free, it is able to reduce the sebaceous glands

activity and stimulates the bacterial porphyrins which leads

to the formation of oxygen which causes the death of the

microorganism causing acne.

 

 

Enlarged pores

 

The pore is little more than the opening of the hair follicle

onto the surface of the skin. The source of the hair follicle

lies deep within the dermis. Midway up the dermal layer,

the sebaceous oil gland empties into the hair follicle.

Both skin oil (sebum) and the hair breach the surface

through this tiny aperture. Wherever there is a hair, there

will be a pore. Sometimes they can be larger than normal

because of sun damage, genetics or simply due to lack of

good skin grooming and poor exfoliation.

Too much surface oil and remnant naturally shed skin cells

can collect around the edges of pores, creating the illusion

of the pores being larger than they really are.

Laser and IPL treatments fast and safely minimize pores

appearance.

 

 

Photofacials / Photorejuvenation

Photofacial treatments are performed by IPLs and non-

ablative lasers designed to combat the effects of sun and

aging of the face, neck, chest and hands in a softer and

gentler way.

 

The light energy is delivered through the skin removing

facial redness, erasing pigmented spots, reducing pore size

and fine lines.

 

This procedure takes few minutes and is associated with

only mild discomfort and no down-time.

 

After treatment, patients may note facial pinkness, which

may be covered with makeup and can resume normal

activities immediately after the procedure

 

 

Skin thigthening / Smoothness

 

Skin firming and tightening are obtained through the

shrinking and the generation of the collagen in deep and

superficial skin layers.

Different systems (lasers, IPLs, or RF) have different

indications. Basically IPLs combined with the RF

technology are more indicated for the toning of chest,

breast, arms, legs, buttocks and abdomen.

 

After one or two treatments, an even tone to the skin and a

smoother look and feel will be noticed and these

improvements continue with each treatment.

 

 

 

Dischromia

 

Dyschromia is a disorder of pigmentation of the skin. It

can caused by hyperpigmentations that are a common

condition in which patches of skin become darker in color

than the normal surrounding skin.

 

Freckles, age spots, lentigines and other darkened skin

patches can become darker or more pronounced when skin

is exposed to the sun.

There are now several highly effective laser treatments to

remove pigment and dyschromic skin appearance without

scarring.

 

 

Lentigo

 

A benign solar lentigo, or lentigines (plural), is a small,

circumscribed benign pigmented patch surrounded by

normal-appearing skin.

Lentigines are caused by melanocytic proliferation on the

basal layer and may evolve slowly over years, or they may

be eruptive and appear rather suddenly.

Pigmentation may be homogeneous or variegated, with a

color ranging from brown to black. Lentigo is one of the

most common form of pigmentation and is caused by sun

exposure.

 

 

Hirsutism

 

Hirsutism is defined as the excessive growth of thick dark

hair in locations where hair growth in women usually is

minimal or absent. Such male-pattern growth of terminal

body hair usually occurs in androgen-stimulated locations,

such as the face, chest, and areolae.

 

Although the terms hirsutism and hypertrichosis often are

used interchangeably, hypertrichosis actually refers to

excess hair (terminal or vellus) in areas that are not

predominantly androgen dependent.

 

Whether a patient is hirsute often is difficult to judge

because hair growth varies among individual women and

across ethnic groups.

 

Dark-haired, darkly pigmented individuals of either sex

tend to be more hirsute than blond or fair-skinned persons.

In most cases, hirsutism is a benign condition and is

primarily of cosmetic concern.

 

Hair removal treatments with IPL systems are the faster

and most effective procedures to remove hairs or to control

diseases such as hypertrichosis and hirsutism.

 

 

Hypertrichosis

 

Hypertrichosis, congenital generalized hypertrichosis or 

were wolf syndrome is a medical term referring to a

condition of excessive body hair.

It can be generalized, symmetrically affecting most of the

torso and limbs, or localized, affecting an area of skin. It

may be mild or severe.

 

In most cases, the term is used to refer to an above-

average amount of normal body hair that is unwanted and

is an aspect of human variability. In medical practice, once

generalized hypertrichosis has been distinguished from

hirsutism, it is most often considered a variation of

normal, primarily resulting from genetic factors.

 

Hair removal treatments with IPL systems are the faster

and most effective procedures to remove hairs or to control

diseases such as hypertrichosis and hirsutism.

 

 

Pseudofolliculitis Barbae

 

Pseudofolliculitis barbae is a medical term for persistent

inflammation caused by shaving. It is also known by

colloquial terms such as "razor bumps".

PFB is most common on the male face, but it can also

happen on other parts of the body where hair is shaved or

plucked, especially areas where hair is curly and the skin is

sensitive, such as genital shaving.

IPL is effective to minimize the appearance of p. barbae. 

 

Unwanted Hairs

 

Laser hair removal is one of the most requested aesthetic

applications. Unwanted hairs can be fast and easily

removed by IPL systems.

 

Facial telangiectasia

 

The facial telangiectasia, also called couperose, is caused

by the abnormal enlargement of the superficial blood

microvessels of the face. Usually the facial telangiectasia is

visible on people with very light skin color.

The action of the sun on these particular skin types can

cause a dilatation of the small and superficial blood

vessels. The laser energy is delivered through a special

handpiece in a series of brief pulses.

The light energy is absorbed by the blood vessels, but not

by the surrounding tissues.

The consequent targeted heat absorption causes a

coagulation, which is subsequently absorbed by the body.

Different types of vessels may require different laser

sources (infrared or visible) for an optimized treatment.

The IPL at 550nm are usually the most effective to perform

the selective photothermolysis on facial telangiectasia due

to their very high oxyhemoglobin absorption coefficient.

 

Poikiloderma of Civatte

 

The Poikiloderma of Civatte is a diffuse redness of the neck

that usually affects people with very light skin color. The

laser energy is delivered through a special handpiece in a

series of brief pulses.

 

The light energy is absorbed by the blood vessels, but not

by the surrounding tissues. The consequent targeted heat

absorption causes a coagulation, which is subsequently

absorbed by the body.

 

Different types of vessels may require different laser

sources (infrared or visible) for an optimized treatment.

The Nd:YAG frequency doubled 532 nm laser wavelength

or the IPL at 550nm are usually the most effective to

perform the selective photothermolysis on this vascular

lesion due to their very high oxyhemoglobin absorption

coefficient.

 

Rosacea

 

The Rosacea is a diffuse redness of the face that usually

affects people with very light skin color.

The action of the sun on these particular skin types can

cause a dilatation of the smallest and most superficial

facial blood vessels.

 

The laser energy is delivered through a special handpiece

in a series of brief pulses. The light energy is absorbed by

the blood vessels, but not by the surrounding tissues.

 

The consequent targeted heat absorption causes a

coagulation, which is subsequently absorbed by the body.

Different types of vessels may require different laser

sources (infrared or visible) for an optimized treatment.

 

The Nd:YAG frequency doubled 532 nm laser wavelength

or the IPL at 550nm are usually the most effective to

perform the selective photothermolysis on rosacea due to

their very high oxyhemoglobin absorption coefficient.
