How it worksBy means of a very specific resonant frequency, the bubbles will cause pressure around the fat cells. When the pressure reaches the right tension against the lipocytes (fat cell), the lipocyte's membrane will break up instantly.The low frequency Ultra Sound technology allows a predetermined amount of energy to be focused onto the subcutaneous adipose tissue. As the ultra sonic waves converge towards the targeted area, they cumulate at a certain point and produce the so called cavitation effect leading to the mechanical breaking of the cellular membranes and the release in the inter cellular fluid of the stored Triglycerides which are rapidly metabolised. The broken lipocytes will then be absorbed and metabolized out of the human body by the lymphatic system. Each treatment is a 20 minute session with no pain, no cuts and amazing results. The number of treatments required is determined by how much fat needs to be taken off. Clients are measured before and after every treatment, and fat loss is visible within the first 5 sessions. This technological system is very selective as only the adipose tissue is being targeted and no other tissue is altered in the process. Cavitation
Ultrasound energy waves creating micro air bubbles amongst the lypocite dissolving fatty tissue for effective body sculpting.
What's your goal?Before you start the treatment, please keep in mind that a consultation and proper evaluation by a non-surgical Therapist is always needed.During the first consultation your goals will be set. How many centimeters you expect to lose in which areas of your body will also be discussed. Health warningPeople with serious diseases are asked to please take caution and discuss the effect that the treatment might have on their health with their physician.
FAQ'sA: Clients lose an average of 2 cm's per treatment, but results may vary with different tissue structure, treatment area, age, metabolism, medications, and changes in hormones. Proper diet and increased physical activity will certainly improve and help to maintain these astonishing results. A: Treatments can only be done every alternative day. Treat one area of concern at a time for best results. A: Safety is very important and there have been extensive clinical trials to endorse the safety and effectiveness of the ultrasound cavitation treatment. A: To start, on the day of your treatment, measurements are taken and recorded on your chart. Then the therapist will use the ultrasound heads on the area for up to 20 minutes. A: Gentle ultrasound waves can be heard 'singing' at a special frequency to remove fat cells permanently. Once removed, these cells will not regrow. When treating for fat volume reduction, ultrasound waves painlessly disrupt the walls of cells containing fat found below the skin within the subcutaneous fat layer, while other tissues such as blood vessels and nerves are unharmed. As fat cells are not able to multiply, once removed, they will not return, helping to maintain a long-term fat reduction. This is similar to removal of fat by surgical liposuction, but in this case 100% non-invasively. A: The fat cells treated with ultrasound cavitation will not return or regrow, so that is a permanent effect. However, the length of time that the body shaping will last for is completely in your hands. How much you eat and how much exercise you take will also affect your long-term body shape.

How it worksRADIO FREQUENCYHeat generated by RF waves shrinks the bundle of collagen under the skin. The collagen becomes shorter and the skin tightens. The body response in that the collagen will be gradually healed, renewed and even more collagen will be produced. The skin tightens and the overall look is improved. RF 
Radio Frequency regenerates collagen, tightening dermal tissue and skin creating a smooth and glowing complexion.

Intense pulsed light Systems release precisely controlled strong pulses of filtered light that treat skin imperfections. IPL activates natural collagen and elastin production in the active skin cells (fibroblasts), improving the skin's overall texture and complexion. Skin rejuvenation treatments overall improve the skin's colour and texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles and minimises open pores. How it worksAcne
Stretch marks Intense Pulse Light phototherapy helps to reduce the appearance of red and white stretch marks. Photorejuvenation (phototherapy) works by improving stretch mark texture and return back the damaged pigmentation caused by scar cracks inside dermis. IPL is not a laser, it's a pulsed light applied to skin that was treated with gel prior the treatment. When IPL is applied it stimulates cell multiplication through its penetrating light that gets deep in hard to reach areas in layers of skin, thus reducing the appearance of stretch marks. Pigmentation The IPL release precisely controlled strong pulses of filtered light that are absorbed by the melanin in freckles, sun spots or liver spots. The pigmented area absorbs the light and is heated, and is removed by skin renewal. Following treatment, the pigmented area turns darker and may crust. Over the following weeks the pigmented area will gradually flake away from the skin leaving little trace of the original mark.
Spider veins Non-invasive Intense Pulse Light is absorbed by hemoglobin and converted to heat energy. Blood coagulates and the vessel wall collapses. Over time the vessel is reabsorbed by the body and disappears. Treatable conditions include vascular conditions: Blood vessels visible on the surface of the skin, vascular lesions that appear as tiny blood filled blisters or even a constant flush of facial redness.
Skin rejuvenation Skin rejuvenation is a treatment to resurface your skin, or to improve the texture, clarity and overall appearance of your skin. Conditions that can be treated include: Pigmentation: Freckles, sun spots, melasma, or other darkened patches of skin result mainly from sun exposure. Vascular conditions: Blood vessels visible on the surface of the skin, vascular lesions that appear as tiny blood filled blisters or even a constant flush of facial redness.

The treated area can become quite red immediately after treatment. However, most clients experience no side effects and the redness usually disappears within a couple of hours. Very rarely the skin may become lighter or darker, or a small blister may form. If is possible that some hair loss will occur in the area treated, and it could be permanent, so men should consider this possibility before agreeing to treatment of their beard area Contra-indications - when not to have a treatment:
FAQ'sA: Prior to any treatment we will provide a full consultation. The consultation identifies your expectations and provides a complete explanation of the treatment. A medical history is taken to confirm suitability for treatment and if you wish to proceed a written informed consent is obtained and a test patch is performed to confirm there are no adverse skin reactions to the light Filters in the handpiece change the wavelength range allowing it to be optimized for different applications and skin types. The light penetrates the tissue and absorbed by either the blood when treating vascular lesions or the melanin when treating pigmented lesions damaging them. The body's natural processes then remove the injured tissue giving the skin a more even and youthful appearance. The treatment regimen typically consists of 4-6 treatments administered at 2 week intervals. Clients should start seeing results within a very short time. A: You will be asked to put on goggles to protect your eyes. A layer of chilled gel is applied to the area to cool the skin and guide the light. The light applicator is placed onto the skin and a short pulse of light is released. The applicator is then moved to the neighbouring area and the process is repeated until the whole area is treated. The chilled gel is removed and the area is moisturised. A: Almost everyone can be treated, excluding tanned individuals, pregnant women or people taking the acne treatment Roaccutane. However, not all pigmented lesions can be treated. Large, dark moles should not be treated, nor should lesions covering a large part of the body. The pigmented marks that respond the best are superficial lesions such as those caused by sun damage (sun spots) and freckles . Q: How does the treatment feel? A: The light energy is absorbed by the skin, and heats it up very quickly, creating a sharp, short-lived pinprick sensation. No anaesthesia is required, other than cooling the skin with icepacks. Most Clients describe the discomfort as moderate and acceptable. You might experience a sunburn-like sensation that lasts 2 to 5 hours which is often associated with mild to moderate redness. The treated area is generally sensitive to heat for 2 days following treatment. A: Redness and a slight warming sensation are normal after treatment. A cooling pack will be applied to the skin to ease these symptoms. The lesions will darken after treatment and may appear more obvious at first, but gradually the marks will 'flake' away. Continued sun exposure may result in recurrence of the original mark and sunscreen should be used to prevent this happening. It will be necessary to avoid sun exposure or use a high protection sunscreen for 2 weeks after the treatment. After hair removal the skin may appear spotty, this is inflammation caused from the heat absorbed in the hair follicle and can last 2 to 24 hours. After treatment of pigmented lesions the lesion will go darker sometimes almost black, then will fall off within 7 to 28 days (depending on the area of the body) or it will just gradually fade. After treatment of vascular lesions they will either disappear immediately or appear grey or purplish in colour. Diffuse redness immediately appears more red, then gradually lightens within 2-3 weeks. Vascular treatments generally require 3-4 weekly treatments for best results. A: A typical treatment session will take 30 minutes. A: The number of treatments necessary varies from person to person, but typically 5 treatments will result in significant improvement, depending on the severity of the condition. IPL treatments should take place fortnightly. A: The table below is used to select the correct settings for each skin type according to the melanin (pigment) content and the skins reaction to the sun. The lighter the skin type, the more suitable it is for IPL treatment.

Treatable AreasAll areas of the face and body can be treated, including sensitive areas with relatively little or no pain.Health warningPeople with serious diseases are asked to please take caution and discuss the effect that the treatment might have on their health with their physician.People are considered non-candidates if they have cancer, are epileptic, have recently been through surgery, have Hepatitis C, have kidney disease of any kind, are menstruating, pregnant or nursing. Other health risks include hormone treatment, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, skin diseases and bleeding disorders. Any persons with medical / electronic / metal / plastic / silicone implants and or instruments are at risk when treated with IPL. PLEASE ENSURE THAT TREATED AREAS ARE NOT EXPOSED TO: SUNLIGHT, HEAT, CHEMICALS and/or ALCOHOL. FAQ'sA: Highly controlled pulses of light are emitted with the IPL handpiece and are selectively absorbed by the hair follicles lying below the surface of the skin. The absorbed light heats the hair, which damages the re-growth potential of the follicle - all without damaging the surrounding tissue. A: You should see a difference after the 1st treatment. For every person the hair growth pattern varies, and is determined by many factors, including hormones. The number of treatments required depends on each individuals' skin type, hair colour, hair thickness and density. On average 5 - 7 treatments is recommended with 5 - 6 week intervals. A: IPL hair removal is effective on most hair with pigment: black, brown and red hair can be effectively reduced, but is not effective on hair that is naturally light in colour. IPL hair removal is safe for most skin types. A: You should shave the area to be treated before treatment. The area should be shaved as closely as possible so that laser can target the most energy towards the hair follicle and not waste energy on the part of the hair above the skin's surface. Please allow 4-6 weeks after having your hair waxed , as hair needs to be in place in the follicles for treatment to be effective. Hair should ideally be slightly visible. A: A layer of chilled gel is applied to the desired area to cool the skin and guide the light. The applicator is placed onto the skin and a short pulse of light is released. The process is repeated over the whole area of skin until the desired site has been treated. The gel is removed and the area is washed and moisturised. A: The appearance of the treated area immediately following treatment will vary from Client to Client, depending on the extent of the treatment and the skin type. You may experience slight redness, itching or local swelling on the treated area, which indicate that the follicles have responded to the treatment. A: Everyone's pain threshold is different, but generally laser hair removal is not much more painful than waxing. The sensation is often described as being the same as a rubber band snapping against the skin for a quick second with each pulse. Most people do not require an anesthetic cream, but one may be used for very sensitive areas. Be aware that using anesthetic creams is only safe on small areas, eg upper lip, bikini, or underarms and in small quantities. Using it on large areas like the back can cause adverse effects. Consult with your pharmacist or doctor if unsure. A: Please ensure that the treated area is moisturised with aloe vera twice daily. Do not expose the area to sunlight, heat, chemicals or alcohol for at least 48 hours after each treatment. A: Within 2-3 weeks, you should experience shedding of all treated hair. At first, hair will look like it's growing back in, but it is just coming through the skin to shed. Shedding starts at about 2 weeks and can last until 4 weeks after treatment. Exfoliating and/or scrubbing gently can help speed up the process. After shedding finishes, you might experience little black "pepperspots" which will shed eventually. After shedding occurs, you should experience a hairfree period for a few weeks. Your next treatment should take place when the next set of hair that was dormant before starts to grow. A: IPL is quite effective on hair that is in the active growth phase, but cannot prevent new hair from developing. We recommend that Clients first explore a possible underlying reason if they experience extreme hair growth, as IPL treatments might seem ineffective if the body keeps developing new hair. It might seem like there is not reduction, when in fact your body is producing new hair. Talk to your doctor if you suspect you might have an underlying medical condition causing excessive hair growth before starting IPL hair removal treatments.
