IPL / LASER
The evolution of light for
Permanent Hair Reduction & Skin Rejuvenation

[next generation laser technology]

The ENERGIST Ultra is the most advanced hair removal & skin rejuvenation product available. Utilising state of the art Variable Pulsed Light technology, the Ultra system provides the optimal treatment for each individual, ensuring safe, fast and effective treatment.
What makes this system special ?
Traditionally, light based treatment has been associated with Lasers. As technology has progressed, research has shown that Intense Pulsed Light, and in particular Variable Pulsed Light are regularly producing better results than the Laser units originally available. Pulsed light units are non-laser, emitting light across a broad range of wavelengths that are preferentially absorbed by the appropriate structure in the skin.
How does it work ?
The Ultra system is designed so that each shot of light comprises a sequence of rapid shorter pulses. These variable pulses ensure more controlled absorption by the appropriate structures whilst minimising heating of the surrounding tissues. This means that a greater range of skin & hair types can be safely and effectively treated than was previously possible.
What can be treated ?
Hair Removal: Unwanted hair can be removed from all parts of the body, including legs, chin, upper lip, bikini line, underarms, back & chest, including nipples.
Skin Rejuvenation: Many skin complaints caused by ageing & sun damage can be successfully treated including redness, rosacea, age spots, freckles, pigment patches, uneven texture & fine lines.
Active Acne, Scar Tissue & Open Pores can also be successfully treated.

Treatment process

After a Full Consultation with one of our fully trained Therapists, a comprehensive treatment programme can be developed to match your needs.
The area to be treated will be prepared and the applicator head will be stepped across the skin to ensure complete coverage. An intense flash of light is applied to each section of the area to be treated. It feels like a tiny sting and is quite tolerable - much more comfortable than eg. waxing.
For hair removal: the light is absorbed by the melanin [the pigment in the hair] causing the cells which stimulate hair growth to be heated & destroyed. Most areas will require between 6 and 10 treatments but the darker the skin or the lighter the hair, the more treatments will be required.
For Skin rejuvenation: for skin rejuvenation, pigmentation, veins etc. the light is absorbed by the appropriate structure in the skin stimulating collagen production or coagulating the tiny blood vessels, or breaking up the melanin in the pigmentation patch. Most people will need around 6 treatments for rejuvenation and up to 6 treatments for other conditions

Is there anything I need to do prior to or after treatment?

The sun or tanning beds must be avoided for at least 4 weeks to ensure your skin is as close to its natural colour as possible.
Your therapist will advise you at the time of any other precautions to take.
For Hair Removal: the area to should be shaved 2 or 3 days before treatment.
