Laser hair removal uses a concentrated beam of light (laser) to remove unwanted hair.
During laser hair removal, a laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the hair follicles within the skin that produce hairs. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth.
Although laser hair removal effectively delays hair growth for long periods, it usually doesn’t result in permanent hair removal. Multiple laser hair removal treatments are needed for initial hair removal. Laser hair removal is most effective for people who have light skin and dark hair, but it can be successfully used on all skin types.

Avoid other hair removal methods. Plucking, waxing, epilation and electrolysis can disturb the hair follicle and should be avoided at least four weeks before treatment.
Shaving treatment area. Trimming and shaving is recommended the day before laser treatment. It removes hair above the skin that can result in surface skin damage from burnt hairs, but it leaves the hair shaft intact below the surface.

Stay out of the sun. Avoid sun exposure before and after treatment.
Avoid any sunless skin creams that darken your skin.

Ulfit uses safe ultrasound energy (HIFU – high intensity focused ultrasound) which denatures collagen on a mass scale. It denatures damaged ‘type 3’ collagen which in turn promotes the production of ‘type 1’ collagen.
‘Type 1’ collagen is a stronger and younger collagen fibre that results in firming and lifting of the skin.
3 levels of the face are treated, the SMAS (muscle layer which is targeted during face-lift surgery), and two layers of the skin: Deep Dermis and Superficial Dermis. This multilayer treatment ensures that all required areas are targeted to achieve optimum results.
Immediate visible skin tightening and reduction of wrinkles is obvious, and continuous improvement in volume and appearance continues for up to 90 days post treatment as type 1 collagen is regenerated.

Almost any area including forehead, eye area, cheeks, jowls, wrinkles, chin, decolletage, arms, and abdomen can be treated.

Skin tightening; I recommend two treatments three months apart, then one treatment every 12 – 18 months.
Contouring and tightening of the body and abdomen are highly dependent on the client’s start point and body composition. I offer a complimentary consultation to discern how many and which treatments are recommended for you.

The treatment is non-surgical and non-invasive.  During treatment, you can expect a warm bubbling sensation under the skin, and you may experience some discomfort due to how deep the ultrasound technology penetrates.

I offer a complimentary consultation prior to Ulfit treatments and will advise you on essential pre treatment instructions.

You can expect your skin to be sensitive post treatment, you should be using a Soothing Serum and Post Treatment Balm for the first 4 days post treatment to keep the skin well-nourished as well as using a broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen of a minimum of SPF 30+ daily.
In general, most clients experience very little post treatment pain and a little redness which quickly clears.
Swelling and redness is possible for 48-72 hours post treatment, and some clients may also experience some tenderness around the jaw, minor bruising, numbness, and tingling for 7-10 days post treatment. This is normal and will resolve on its own.
You may notice your skin feeling firmer and tight immediately after your first treatment, this is due to the initial minor swelling from the treatment and will reside within a few weeks.

Like any other “peel,” an enzyme peel is a facial treatment aimed at eradicating dead skin cells to achieve glowing, more beautiful skin. The enzymes used in such treatments come from fruits and vegetables such as pineapple, papaya, and pumpkin. These proteolytic enzymes help to break down proteins—including keratin proteins in the outer layer of the skin. This helps dead skin cells “shed” off, leaving the skin smoother, softer, and with decreased discolorations.

Enzymes are an amazing alternative for those with sensitive skin who can’t tolerate alpha and beta hydroxy acids often present in traditional chemical peels. Enzymes are the “secret ingredient” behind exfoliating and brightening the skin in a gentle – yet just as effective – way.

The enzyme peel could leave your skin a little red, but, within a few hours, it should be soft and glowing. Within a few days, your skin will look smooth, hydrated, and glowing. Keep in mind that this is an enzyme-based peel, meaning it is much gentler than many other chemical peels. 

Because it is enzyme-based, this treatment was designed specifically for sensitive skin, meaning that discomfort during the procedure if you experience any, will be mild.

Facial peels are not as scary as they sound. Our therapist will discuss and diagnose your individual needs and limitations. You can achieve glowing, healthy skin in no time. Peels come in varying strengths (according to the depth to which they penetrate) and can be personalized to your skin’s needs.

Treatment takes just a few seconds per spot, the highly powered microjet achieves in-tissue temperature of -89C for complete tissue necrosis (death of cells by freezing) in seconds.

No, it is pain free.

Because of the ultra fine jet, only the lesion is frozen, no healthy tissue is affected and the lesions can be removed with no scarring.

After treatment, the lesion will darken and crust up before finally flaking off over the course of 2-3 weeks.

Unlike other types of light therapy, LED’s do not contain ultraviolet rays, therefore they’re safe for regular use. LED light therapy doesn’t cause burns. LED therapy is also safe for all skin colors. You shouldn’t use LED light therapy if you take Accutane for acne or if you’re experiencing skin rashes.

Side effects are rare, but may include increased inflammation, redness, and rashes.

There are different frequencies, or wavelengths, used with LED light treatment. These include red and blue light frequencies, which don’t contain ultraviolet rays and are readily absorbed into the skin.

Red, or infrared, light is used for treating the epidermis, which is the outer layer of skin. When the light is applied to your skin, the epidermis absorbs it and then stimulates collagen proteins.

In theory, more collagen means that your skin will look smoother and fuller, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Red LED light is also thought to reduce inflammation while improving circulation, which can give you a healthier glow.

Blue LED light therapy, targets the sebaceous glands, which are also called oil glands. They’re located beneath your hair follicles.

Sebaceous glands are necessary for lubricating your skin and hair so that it doesn’t dry out. However, these glands can become overactive, leading to oily skin and acne.

Blue LED light therapy can target these oil glands and make them less active. In turn, you may see fewer acne breakouts. Blue light can also kill acne-causing bacteria beneath the skin, which can help treat severe acne pimples, including cysts and nodules.

Oftentimes, blue LED light is used in conjunction with red LED light to:
– help treat acne
– decrease scarring
– promote anti-inflammatory effects
LED light therapy treatment lasts about 20 minutes to half an hour. You’ll likely need up to 10 treatments total, depending on the results you’re looking to achieve.

Overall, the American Academy of Dermatology deems this procedure safe. Since LEDs don’t contain UV rays, this is considered a safer form of light therapy that won’t cause long-term damage to your skin. The procedure is also non-invasive and has few risks.

If you currently use Accutane for acne, be advised that this powerful drug derived from vitamin A increases your skin’s sensitivity to light and may cause scarring in some instances.

Do not use LED light therapy if you’re using anything on your skin that makes you sensitive to sunlight.

Side effects from LED light therapy are rare but could include: Redness, rash, pain, tenderness, hives.

LED light therapy is non-invasive and pain free, so no recovery time is required. You should be able to continue with your everyday activities once your treatment is over.
