all about lasers

 Remove unwanted hair permanently with laser hair removal.  Excess  and unwanted hair is a common problem. Conventional treatments such as  shaving, plucking, waxing and depilatory creams provide temporary  removal that is inconvenient, messy and often irritating to the skin.  Electrolysis can give good results, but is time-consuming, often painful  and only removes hair one at a time. Laser Hair Removal makes the  elimination of unwanted hair quick and gentle. Laser Hair Removal   permanently damages the hair follicle for permanent hair reduction  without causing damage to the skin, providing a gentle, non-invasive and  long-lasting solution to unwanted hair on any area of the body. Laser  Hair Removal works by emitting pulses of intense light into the hair  follicles which destroys the blood vessels that feed the hair follicle,  therefore permanently killing that hair follicle.  Many people, both  male and female, deal with unwanted hair all over their body which often  can be permanently removed by laser hair removal.  Common areas  include: bikini, underarms, lip, chin, back, chest and legs. Typically  requires 6 to 8 treatments but this may vary.  

 Bella Medici Medical Spa uses the Q-switched laser technology for  tattoo removal which is the gold standard and is FDA-approved,  noninvasive, and  approved for all ink colors.  Previous methods of  tattoo removal were painful and left scarring and did not treat all of  the colors.  Q-switched lasers have been developed to remove all of the  various tattoo inks with very low risk of scarring. Our Q-switched laser  has the technology capable of removing multiple tattoo inks. The laser  emits an intense beam of light that removes and lightens tattoos without  harming the surrounding skin. The light energy may be delivered as a  continuous wave of light or in pulses. When the ink particles of the  tattoo absorb the light from the laser, they are broken into tiny  fragments. These fragments are then absorbed through the body’s natural cleansing mechanism and flushed away by the body's immune system.  With more treatments, more ink will be shattered, leaving the skin free  of the tattoo. Laser treatments are typically done every six weeks.  Depending upon the size and color of the tattoo, multiple sessions may  be needed.  

  ENERGY-BASED RENEWAL

Plasma IQ is the latest  advancement in aesthetics that delivers focused, controlled plasma  energy to safely and effectively create microinjuries on the skin,  renewing and restoring it.  

Microbeams of plasma are  leveraged in a focused energy treatment, resulting in tightening and  retraction of the skin tissues through controlled skin damage.

HOW IT WORKS 

IONIZED GAS PARTICLES 

As the device is brought close to the skin during treatment, it  ionizes nitrogen gas particles in the air to create a plasma arc that  looks like a spark.  

SKIN RETRACTION AND REACTION 

The plasma arc causes sublimation of the epidermis of the skin;  turning a solid into gas, resulting in immediate skin tightening and  retraction in the target area. This method of plasma sublimation is  highly targeted and controlled. It does not transfer heat to the  surrounding area. The procedure creates tiny brown carbon crusts or scabs in the  treated area that persist for approximately one week before dropping  off. 

HEALING RESPONSE  

The microinjuries sustained during treatment promote the long-term firming, tightening, and smoothing effects that  are part of the natural healing response.

 Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photofacial

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)  Photofacial is a laser light treatment that targets pigment issues, such  as brown spots, sun damage and red spots, and Rosacea. The bright light  passes through the epidermis, drawing out the pigment producing cells  and dispersing the uneven pigment. IPL Photofacial can be used on the  face, neck, chest, shoulders, back arms, legs and just about anywhere  else. Photofacial is also an effective treatment for broken veins and  spider veins. 

• Brown and Red Spots
• Freckles
• Sun Damage
• Spider Veins
• Redness
• Rosacea (enlarged facial blood vessels)
• Pigment Imperfections

IPL Photofacial is Intense Pulsed Light that emits multiple  wavelengths into the skin and effectively targets pigment producing  cells below the surface of the skin. The light energy is converted to  heat energy and destroys the hyperactive melanin producing cells in the  layers of your skin, eventually dispersing pigmented areas. The spots  are pulled to the surface, eventually turning into a coffee-ground-like  texture that eventually flakes off revealing beautiful, radiant skin  beneath.
