Energist ULTRATM Variable Pulsed Light System
| What is Energist
ULTRATM?
|
The Energist ULTRATM System
is the most advanced hair removal, skin rejuvenation and thread vein
elimination product available today. Utilising state-of-the-art Variable Pulsed Light (VPLTM) technology, the
ULTRATM System can
be set-up to ensure the optimal parameters to provide a safe, fast and
effective treatment for every individual.
|
What makes this System
special? |
Traditionally, most
cosmetic procedures have been associated with lasers. As technology has
progressed, research has shown that Intense Pulsed Light units, and in
particular Variable Pulsed Light (VPLTM) Systems, are regularly
producing better results than the laser systems 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.
The ULTRATM System is designed such
that each light pulse comprises a number of rapid shorter pulses. These
‘variable pulses’ ensure more controlled absorption by the appropriate
structures whilst minimising heating of the surrounding skin. This means that
a greater range of hair and skin types can be safely and effectively treated
than was previously possible.
|
How does it
work? |
|
Depending upon the
treatment being carried out, light emitted from the ULTRATM System is preferentially
absorbed by the specific structure in the skin.
For hair removal, the melanin in the hair
absorbs this light and is heated to a temperature that permanently inhibits
the hairs’ growth.
For skin rejuvenation, various structures
can absorb the light and repair the damage caused by ageing and the
sun.
For thread vein elimination, the light is
attracted to the red pigment of the vein, thermo-coagulating the blood in the
vein and rendering it useless to the body; the body then eliminates the
resulting waste products by the normal healing
process.
|
What conditions can be
treated? |
Hair Removal: Unwanted hair can be removed
from all parts of the body, including legs, chin, upper lip, bikini line,
underarm, back and chest.
Skin Rejuvenatio: Many skin complaints caused by
ageing and sun damage can be successfully treated using the yellow light
produced by the ULTRATM System. These include:
redness, rosacea, age spots, freckles, pigment
changes, skin texture and fine lines.
Recent studies have shown that
even active acne (Acne Vulgaris) has responded very
well to phototherapy using yellow light.
|
Who can be
treated? |
The versatility of the
ULTRATM System provides a safe and effective treatment for most hair
and skin types. As the treatments have little or no visible side effects,
effective procedures can be performed quickly with no
downtime.
|
Treatment
Process |
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. The large applicator head enables treatments to be performed
quickly.
|
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 it 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 the
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 cycle which means that only about a third of the hairs are in the growing
stage at any one time, and it is only in this phase that they can be
treated.
Similarly with skin rejuvenation
and thread vein removal, results will depend upon the rate of new collagen
growth and skin renewal. There is no ‘magic wand’ that will make everything
perfect, but a good skincare regime that is devised in conjunction with your
therapist will ensure the optimum results that you desire.
