Skin Rejuvenation
Here at Flawless Body we believe in ensuring that we have the right equipment to treat individual clients and provide a truly tailored solution. Therefore in many cases one size does not fit all.
We have invested in two state of the art lasers that are able to cover over 90% of skin conditions. These are commonly known as a Fractional CO2 Laser and a ND:Yag Laser
Fractional CO2 Lasers are one of the latest advances in non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatments. It is ideal for the treatment of:
- Sun damage
- Brown spots
- Fine lines & wrinkles
- Skin laxity/texture
- Acne Scars
Fractional CO2 lasers excel at treating deeper wrinkles, more severe textural changes from sun damage, wrinkles, blotchiness, acne scars, and surgical or traumatic scars. It can be used to improve texture, wrinkles, and blotchiness on the neck, chest, arms and legs too.
The ND:Yag Laser was specifically designed to help with pigmentation and tattoo removal. This laser is used primarily to help with:
- Skin lightening & rebalancing
- Stretch marks
- Non-malignant moles
- Birth marks
- Age spots and brown pigmentation
- Melasma
- Firming and tightening the skin
- Stimulate new collagen and elastin tissue production
Both our lasers are supplied by 3D Lipo and are fully FDA approved.
How does it work?
The Fractional CO2 Laser takes the CO2 laser beam and fractionates, or pixellates that beam into thousands of tiny little shafts of light. These tiny shafts of light penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin. The skin then repairs those tiny shafts by pushing out the old sun damaged skin and replacing it with new skin. The “collateral” heat damage also helps to shrink existing collagen.
The ND:Yag Laser comes in 2 wavelengths, 1064 nm and 532 nm. It is a non-ablative laser, which means that there is no break in skin tissue continuity during the treatment. It is designed to target pigment cells. This specific wavelength are absorbed preferentially by pigments (melanin) and the resultant heat will cause generation and propagation of waves that cause damage to the cells containing pigment. These damaged cells will then be cleared from the site resulting in lightening of the pigmented site.
