Remove unsightly veins
In red vein treatments, either laser or IPL can be used. The light is specially selected so that when it is directed into the skin, it is absorbed by blood vessels. The blood vessels absorb the light and heat up, which destroys the entire vessel while causing minimal damage to the surrounding skin. Following treatment, the damaged vessels are absorbed by the body and little or no trace of the initial lesion remains.
Fade pigmented skin marks
Lumina releases light at a wavelength that is absorbed by melanin contained within freckles or sun spots/liver spots. The pigmented skin absorbs the light, and is heating up to start skin renewal underneath. As the skin renews underneath the pigmented area the pigment lifts away revealing unblemished skin. Following treatment, the damaged lesions turn darker and may crust, over the following weeks they will gradually flake away from the skin leaving little trace of the original mark.
Rejuvenate facial tone and texture
Lumina ‘CFT’ treatment warms the skin and initiates a repair response in the skin, which increases production of collagen and elastin, ironing out fine lines and wrinkles to give a firmer appearance and texture, with more uniform complexion and colour to the skin. The light helps to close enlarged pores, as it penetrates sebaceous glands and stops over-production of sebum. During the treatment a mild, relaxing skin peel is applied and is followed by photo-therapy using the Lumina applicator.
