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?
Hair removal in Cumbria and the Lake District

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.
