Hair Removal in a Whole New Light

Laser hair removal is no longer a marketing buzzword. With advanced technology and lowering cost, the light based hair removal market is now available to suit your pocket.

Approximately 80% percent of men and women aged 16 to 60 regularly remove face and body hair. However, concerns at the cost of treatments have discouraged many potential customers. LHE light-based hair removal answers the needs and concerns of both practitioners and clients. Its low energy levels create an ultra-safe treatment that requires minimal if any preparation or skin cooling.

LHE targets the melanin in the hair shaft, and then converts light to heat inside the follicle. The heat damages the bulb and the root, inhibiting and often preventing future growth when the hair is caught at the anagen growth stage.

All hair colours can be treated, and the number of monthly treatments depends on the targeted area, for effective and lasting reduction.

Facial: approx. 20/25 sessions

Body: approx. 10/20 sessions

(These are average numbers; hair colour and reasons for hair growth are contributing factors)

Skin Photo rejuvenation – Fast Treatments – No Downtime

Wrinkles, age spots, sunspots and spider veins are outward manifestations of ageing or sun-damaged skin. These skin imperfections can now be safely and easily treated.

LHE has demonstrated a clinically proven ability to safely deliver more youthful looking skin and a high level of client satisfaction. This comprehensive skin rejuvenation treatment may include several treatments to reduce fine lines and wrinkles without any invasive action. As well as reducing the visual appearance of age spots and spider veins.

As skin ages and is exposed to the elements of nature it suffers from degradation and imperfections. Using LHE technology, short pulses of light and heat selectively target and coagulate chromophores in the epidermis and papillary dermis. Vascular lesions and melanin in pigmented lesions are coagulated. These cells are then eliminated by a natural process and replaced by new cells. At the same time, LHE allow the body's natural collagen and elastin to remodel under an undamaged outer layer of skin. This leaves a fresher more youthful appearance.

Treatments will require weekly or monthly appointments.

Price guide: Full facial (for anti-ageing) inc. neck £560.00 course of six sessions.

Individual areas Fr. £5.50

Acne Phototherapy

Acne, pimples, zits no matter what you call it, acne is a serious, often heartbreaking condition. Nearly 80% of people will suffer from spots at some time in their lives. For some, it is simply annoying but for others acne is a serious problem, having a very negative impact on their appearance.

Each year approx. £2.5 billion are spent on acne treatment, most of it on medications, that are expensive and may cause unwanted side effects. These generally require several months of continuous treatments and many patients have limited or no response.

Time is of the essence for acne suffers, therefore LHE works fast, offering a complete treatment in 30days, and the visual benefits are evident with in the following few weeks. A unique combination of red light, green light and heat deliver unmatched clinical results for acne clearance.

The Trauma of Psoriasis – More Than Skin Deep

Psoriasis affects 100 million people world-wide. Patients experience episodes of flare-ups alternated with periods of remission that come and go over a lifetime. Although the onset of psoriasis can occur at any age, most cases appear between the ages 15-35 with 10% of cases appearing under the age of 10yrs.

LHE provides relief without the need for topical therapies, oral medications, painful injections or exposure to potentially cancer-causing ultraviolet light. On moderate psoriasis most patients can experience a 75% clearance in psoriatic lesions after a full course of 8-10 sessions carried out over 4-5 weeks.

LHE uses specialised flashes of green and yellow light to shrink and eliminate blood vessels that feed the abnormal growth of psoriatic skin cells. The heat combined with infrared wavelengths reduces swelling and inflammation and very effectively stop the constant itching associated with psoriasis.

Traditional Phototherapy
Phototherapy, also known as Light Treatment, entails the use of Light to heal or treat a medical or aesthetic condition, Photo meaning light and therapy meaning to treat. Phototherapy has been used to treat such diverse conditions as newborn jaundice, psoriasis and acne. The medical use of phototherapy dates back to ancient times when Greeks built solarium cities in high mountains to harness ultra-violet light for healing tuberculosis. In more recent times, red light was used to suppress the effects of the smallpox virus. Since the 1920s, phototherapy has been extensively used in the treatment of many photoresponsive skin diseases such as psoriasis. Modern day phototherapy balances wavelengths , intensity of light and exposure duration among other parameters to tailor treatment to specific needs and conditions.

In the early 80's a new method of light-based therapy termed selective photothermolysis was developed. The word photothermolysis is from three Greek words; photo meaning light, thermo meaning heat, and lysis- destruction.

The theory of selective photothermolysis maintains that by optimizing certain application parameters, the practitioner can target a specific chromophore for destruction, while minimizing the effect on surrounding tissue.

LHE Phototherapy - The Next Generation

LHE advances the principles of selective photothermolysis by utilizing the dual energy pathways of light and heat.

Most light-based technologies like laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) rely on light energy to effect clinical changes while they filter out the subsequent heat. Because they filter out the heat instead of using it, they require very high fluences for clinical efficacy, high fluences that require skin cooling techniques to protect the client from burns.

In order to best utilize the heat, lower the fluence and gain the greatest benefit from the light/heat relationship, Radiancy engineers developed patented internal filters that protect the skin, along with innovative algorithms that take full advantage of the skins thermal absorption characteristics . These innovations create the exact balance of light and heat necessary to achieve clinical efficacy in a variety of clinical applications.

Because it enables very low fluences, LHE's natural fusion of light and heat creates a far more efficient photo thermal technique. The addition of direct heat increases overall effectiveness and lowers fluence to ultra safe levels.

Lowering fluence allows us to eliminate the need for skin cooling techniques, simplify the treatment process and minimize risk of harmful side effects, making it safer, easier and more cost effective.

LHE also enables greater flexibility by utilizing a variety of Light Unit Assemblies (LUA) that emit different spectral distributions for specific clinical applications.
