Skin Imperfections
The Energist ULTRAT System is the most advanced skin rejuvenation system available. Utilising state-of-the-art Variable Pulsed Light (VPL) technology, it provides a safe, fast and effective treatment for every individual.
The Ultra VPL offers a safe, non-surgical treatment for many skin conditions often brought about by age or over exposure to the sun. This quick and effective treatment improves thread veins, sun, liver & age spots, pigmentation and wrinkle & fine lines. These imperfections can be successfully treated using the yellow light produced by the Ultra VPL.
What conditions can be treated and how it works.
Depending upon the treatment being carried out various structures of the skin absorb a number of rapid short pulses of yellow light to repair the damage caused by ageing and the sun. More detail.
Conditions that usually appear in later years these are all caused by an excess
amount of melanin, the pigmentation that determines our hair and skin colour.
Melanin absorbs the light energy from Ultra VPL and heats up quickly,
whilst the surrounding skin remains cool. The heat means that the particles
of melanin break up into smaller particles that are then removed by the body's
natural waste process, leaving skin clear and smooth.
Conditions where small veins and blemishes are visible on the skin's surface.
Light energy is absorbed by the blood vessels that make up these imperfections.
This absorption process breaks down the vessels walls. Effective Ultra VPL treatments
allow the body to recognise these broken vessels as waste and removes then naturally.
Collagen is the substance in our bodies that keeps our skin looking youthful
and smooth. As we age our bodies naturally produce less collagen, resulting in the
appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The light from Ultra VPL stimulates cells in the body called fibroblasts to produce more collagen.
The new collagen moves outwards to the skin's surface resulting in a smoother texture, smaller pore
size and reduced fine lines and wrinkles.
People who suffer from acne produce too much sebum, oil naturally produced by
the body, which can clog up pores and cause infection; this in turn can result in scarring.
Ultra VPL improves both active acne and acne scarring by destroying the
bacteria that causes the infection. Acne is healed significantly following
a course of treatment and skin texture and tone is improved as the Ultra VPL
initiates further collagen production.
Who can be treated?
The versatility of the ULTRAT System provides a safe and effective treatment for most hair and skin types, but a consultation with a trained therapist will provide you with a complete treatment programme. As the treatments have little or no visible side-effects, effective procedures can be performed quickly with no downtime.
Treatment Process
After a full consultation with a trained therapist, a comprehensive treatment programme can be developed to match your needs and requirements. Depending upon which treatments are to be undertaken the basic procedure will stay the same. The area to be treated will be prepared and the applicator head will be stepped across to ensure complete coverage. Due to the large applicator head treatments can be performed quickly, which we know is important with today's hectic lifestyle.
Is there anything I need to do prior to, or after, treatment?
It is advisable to stay out of the sun, and away from tanning beds, for at least 6 weeks prior to any treatment to ensure that your skin is as close as possible to its natural colour. You must ensure that all cosmetics are removed from the treatment area with a good cleanser and then allow the skin to settle. As the skin may be slightly more sensitive post-treatment it is recommended to use skin products developed for sensitive skin and again avoid the sun or tanning beds.
When will I see results?
Dependent upon the treatment performed and the area treated, results will be noticed after a series of treatments over a period of months. This is due to the body's natural hair growth cycles and skin renewal. There is no 'magic wand' that will make everything perfect, but a good skincare regimen that is devised in conjunction with your therapist will ensure the optimum results that you desire.
