E-light
E-light is a new technology that combines the power of the well known IPL and the gentle approach of Radiofrequency. It allows us to perform a wide range of treatments which target various skin concerns such as loose skin, redness, pigmentation, acne, sun damage ,wrinkles, fine lines, rosacea and red scars. The handle piece has multiple attachments which allow us to pick the correct filter to target the specific skin concern.
Skin Rejuvenation – for skin tightening, wrinkle reduction and brightening
During SKIN REJUVENATION the pulsed light is absorbed by chromophores in the skin. This creates heat to cause intentional micro-injury in the dermis which stimulates the fibroblasts to create new collagen and elastin fibres over the course of 2 weeks post treatment, resulting in wrinkle reduction and skin tightening over time. We recommend a course of 6 sessions followed by maintenance at 8-10 weeks. Visible results such as brighter, clearer and softer skin can be noticed after 3 rd to 4 th sessions. This treatment completely remodels your dermis in the space of 6 months meaning your skin structures are stronger and much healthier.
Acne reduction – for a clearer and healthier skin
During this treatment, the pulsed light targets the surface layers of the skin to destroy bacteria responsible for creating breakouts (Propinobacterium acnes). Over the course of 6 sessions, you will see a reduction in redness and inflammation, as well as an improvement in skin clarity. Visible and impactful results start to show after the 3rd session.
Rosacea, thread veins, redness, and red scar improvement - for a more even skin tone.
During this treatment, the pulsed light targets oxyhaemoglobin in the blood vessels resulting in heat that destroys them, leaving your skin with a more even colouring. Results can be instant or take a week to appear. Usually, 4-6 sessions are recommended for permanent results. It is important to note, that there is no cure for rosacea, however we can manage it and keep it at bay through this treatment. A yearly Top up is recommended.
Pigmentation and sun damage reversal – for a brighter skin appearance
During pigmentation reduction, the pulsed light targets melanin in the affected areas, turning it darker. This clears up naturally within a week and leaves the skin clearer and brighter with each session. We recommend anything between 3-5 sessions for optimal results.
What should I expect from my treatments?
As the light is released onto the skin, you may feel a flick sensation against the skin which can be mildly uncomfortable depending on personal sensitivity. However, it is bearable and does not usually require a numbing agent.
Are there any side effects?
You may experience a heat sensation during and after treatment. Redness is normal, as well as a mild swelling of the dermis which can last up to 48h, and will make the skin appear immediately plumper. Pigmentation will turn darker, the effect of which lasts about a week. In the case of thread veins, they tend to disappear or turn darker, to be reabsorbed by the body over 7 days.
Am I suitable for this treatment?
If you have taken prescription acne medication, you would need to check with your technician. If you actively tan using sun beds, you cannot have this treatment as the waiting time is 20-30 days either side before laser exposure for safety reasons. If you are taking prescription medications, or have any conditions, you need check with the technician for suitability upon consultation. Pregnant or breastfeeding clients cannot have this treatment.
