IPL Photo Rejuvenation

What is IPL Photo Rejuvenation?

Intense Photo Light (IPL) Rejuvenation is also known as a photo facial. It is a non-invasive procedure involving the application of selective pulse light beams on the skin to improve its quality.

With age, accentuated by the busy and stressful times of modern life, it is inevitable that fine wrinkles, pigmentations, brown spots, flecks or large pores develop. So how do we get rid of these imperfections?

Our advanced IPL system TM700 provides the perfect solution to these skin imperfections. This procedure is painless, highly effective, and safe.

IPL skin photo rejuvenation can be used to treat flecks, sun spots, and brown spots, signs of aging, skin pigmentation and acne. This treatment can be applied anywhere, from the face, to the neck, chest, hands and even arms.

How does the IPL Rejuvenation Work?

Our new IPL system delivers an even and specific wavelength light beam to the targeted area through a special headpiece at low dose and high frequency for deeper skin treatment and care. The light energy is absorbed by the pigment of the targeted tissue, breaking the pigment via a special opto – thermal decomposition property. The pigment clusters that remain ultimately will be eliminated by the lymphatic system in the body. Any lesion or crusts that are present on the skin are naturally faded out from the skin after approximately 10 days after treatment.

The IPL heat energy also stimulates the proliferation of collagen which remodels the skin, making it firmed and healthier.

What does IPL Rejuvenation look like?

Before the treatment, the clients are evaluated to ensure the lesions are benign. Protective eyewear has to be worn by the client and specialist due to the brightness of the IPL.

During the treatment, the operator applies the smooth and glass surface of the IPL handpiece to the targeted skin area. Then the light is delivered to the skin surface in precise pluses that are typically pain free.

Once IPL treatment is completed, clients may feel a little heat in the area. Some redness may also develop. The exact situation depends on the individual.

After treatment, we suggest clients protect the treatment areas.

The IPL photo facial treatment takes no more than 20 minutes. On average 5 to 6 treatments are recommended at 3 to 4 weeks intervals. It gradually improves the quality of the skin, with long term results. Maintenance treatment should be carried out at half-yearly intervals to prolong results.

Why didn’t I experience a response after one IPL treatment?

IPL skin rejuvenation normally requires a series of treatments. It generally needs 3-6 treatments for satisfactory results. Typical responses after IPL treatment include transient redness, mild swelling, darkening of prominent blood vessels, darkening of freckles and sun damaged areas that will flake off gradually. If you didn’t have any of these reactions, you may have had a lower system energy setting. Normally it is important to treat more conservatively to see how the skin reacts. Make sure you feed back your personal situation and discuss the reactions after the first treatment with your provider to make the necessary adjustments for your second treatment.

What should be avoided after treatment?

Normally you are able to resume your normal activities once the redness has faded quickly. It is better you avoid the following activities until the redness has disappeared.

Direct sun exposure (use SPF30+ Sunscreen daily on areas treated)
Solariums or Microdermabrasion
Strength defoliant creams
Swimming pools and spas
Strong sport causing excessive perspiration
Do I need to stay away from sun light?

It is necessary to protect your skin from direct sunlight before and after IPL treatment. An SPF30+ sunscreen should be used because the area will be more prone to sunburn and pigmentation change. Protective clothing is also recommended to cover the targeted area.

What can I expect after IPL Photo Rejuvenation treatment?

During the IPL treatment the skin feels a little warm, a sensation that is similar to a mild sunburn. The treated area may also become light red for about 3-4 hours.

Also, some mild swelling may occur and will disappear 2-3 days after treatment, but it does not occur for everyone. When the fleck is treated the pigment will become darker and then will crust up until it flakes off the skin. One week after treatment the pigment will gradually fade away from the skin. This is a normal reaction with each treatment. Ultimately the skin texture and complexion will improve through the treatment.

The Cost of IPL Rejuvenation

Our IPL Rejuvenation procedure uses the latest technology. The result is a dramatically lowered cost of treatment, compared to other IPL treatments out there.

Secondly the system can work in a moving style, it save a lot of working time of for the operator. Therefore, we can transfer this benefit to our clients. We also want to spread quickly the information about our safe and painless skin rejuvenation to those who need the treatment with affordable prices.

Moxibustion 30 Minutes

What is Moxibustion treatment?

Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese healing technique, usually used with acupuncture, for treating many illnesses such as asthma, digestive problems, arthritis, allergies, menstrual problems and muscular problems. A comfortable and relaxing feeling can be obtained even though only a mild heat is applied to the acupoints.

It involves heating the particular acupoints by burning a special dry herb which is called Artemisia (Chinese Wormwood). These dry herb leaves are made into moxa rolls which can be burned with a constant heat. Normally this herb is made into small cones, large moxa rolls and loose wood moxa. The moxa roll is easy and convenient for use in clinical practise. The moxa roll burns slowly at an even temperature. The gap between the burning moxa roll and the acupoint selected is about 3 cm and the moxa roll is moved up and downwards, the client should feels warmth but not scorching. Usually a moxibustion treatment can be executed within 5-7 minutes.

The benefits of moxibustion include:

*An increase in blood supply to the area selected.
* Driving cold energies out of the body and promoting a deeper relaxation of tissues.
* Enhancing the immune system and clearing the blockages in meridians.

Remedial Massage 90 Minutes

What is the benefit of remedial massage treatment?

Remedial massage is an effective holistic alternative technique on treatment of soft tissue injuries, stiff muscles or ligaments, joint problems, and sport injures.

Muscles and ligaments sometimes will become tight and sore or knotted or damaged because of stress or overuse and repetitive moving actions. Our remedial massage treatment focuses on specific areas by using deep and effective muscle compression, muscle lubricating, passive stretching, and stroking to relieve muscle tension.

Remedial massage can be used to treat numerous muscles, tendons, ligament problems, such as tight shoulder, lower back pain, headaches, arthritis, tennis elbow, scoliosis, muscular sprains, and body fatigue syndromes. Also is good for relieving body chronic pain. The benefits of remedial massage include: improving blood circulation and lymphatic drainage to remove toxins and waste; Toning and relaxing muscles to increase joint flexibility; Relieving muscular stiffness and tension and improving muscle health and function by freeing muscle fiber adhesions; Separating fascia binding and tethering for increasing body comfort; Calming the peripheral nervous system to ease pain and discomfort; Improving the health of cells and repairing tissues.

Why do you need a regular massage for your wellbeing?

First, massage treatment relieves the anxiety and fatigue caused by the modern high speeding daily life. “There are a rising number of people coming to be treated because of neck and shoulder problems incurred from sitting at a desk all day.” The president of the Australian Association of Massage Therapists (AAMT), Geoff Waldron has said.

And other common reasons for seeking a massage? “Usually people have a massage because they don’t feel well from a musculoskeletal point of view,” Waldron says. “They’re stiff, they have headaches, they can’t sleep properly or they’re sports people treating or preventing injuries.”

“Both areas are growing, not just because of ‘pamper culture’ but also because an increasing number of people have conditions that bother them, such as stress, sports injuries,” Waldron says.

When it comes to stress management, remedial massage lends a helping hand by relieving tension. “Massage releases the muscles so you relax and sleep better. You tend not to sleep well when you’re stressed,” he points out.

The remedial massage aims to restore function and promote a sense of wellbeing by combining a mixture of deep tissue massage therapies and acupressure therapeutic techniques. You also can try acupuncture therapy, cupping (a Chinese traditional therapeutic technique that employs vacuum cups), and trigger point therapy.

Sometimes you can’t rely on one single massage treatment to fix everything, it is better to have regular sessions for good results. When a client is experiencing muscular soreness, sometimes pain relief comes instantly, and sometimes it takes time to recover, depending on the individual. It is necessary to remind the clients to get on track as soon as possible.

While massage treatment may be a key way to relieve aches and pains, there’s no denying excellent massage also brings a relaxation experience to your life. A little soreness aside, massage generally feels great, don’t you think? According to the New Zealand Health Network, this is because the therapy refreshes tired and knotted muscles by stimulating the nerve endings in the superficial layers of the skin.
