A New Way to Treat Using Light
Light plays a critical role in the well being and lifestyle of all living creatures, so it is not surprising that since the early ages we have learned how to manipulate light to enhance our quality of life. The development of light technology has now led to the precise application of light to help the body to heal itself and improve our appearance. Since the development of lasers in the 1960’s photo-therapy has been available to selectively treat specific skin problems. In recent years the Lumina® IPL and laser system has been successfully used for the treatment of a variety of conditions, with very good results in the following areas:
- Removal of red veins, including Rosacea, Spider Naevi, Port Wine Stain and leg veins
- Removal of pigmented lesions, including sun spots and age/liver spots
- Permanent hair reduction
- Skin Rejuvenation
- Control of active acne
Long term removal of hair
The Lumina system uses light to destroy the hair root to stop re-growth for as long as possible. The removal of hair depends on the absorption of the light by melanin in the hair, so it is essential that the hair is darker than the skin for preferential absorption of the light by the hair (not the skin). The Lumina system filters the light to a wavelength that raises the temperature of the hair follicle high enough to destroy the follicle whilst the skin remains unharmed.
