Non Laser/IPL Hair Removal and Skin Rejuvenation

The SkinStation from DermaSpark (by Radiancy) does hair removal, skin rejuvenation (removing vascular lesions, capillaries, pigmented lesions and smoothes lines & wrinkles) and acne clearance. It is NOT laser or IPL, the technology is called LHE (light and heat energy) so it works differently. Laser only uses one wavelength of energy so it doesn’t penetrate as deep or work on certain skins types. IPL is more similar to the Skin Station but IPL (intense pulse light) uses a stronger light source which can lead to burning or swelling.

How it Works

Our process uses a lower energy of light which creates heat, so it works similar to electrolysis for hair removal: since the light used is lower energy it is safe to use on all skin types/levels. This creates heat which goes down the hair shaft to destroy the bulb which the hair grows. Results are longer lasting than laser and effective after a few treatments.

The skin has two layers, the outer layer (epidermis) and inner layer (dermis).  The dermis contains the blood vessels and is where collagen and elastin are produced. As we get older, the skin cells start to slow down in the renewal process and the cells start breaking down with exposure to free radicals (unstable cells caused by pollutants) and UV rays, resulting in thinning and sagging of the skin. Skin rejuvenation uses light and heat to cause the skin to go into it’s natural healing mode causing micro-trauma, so the skin regenerates itself from the inside out as it does with an injury (without causing any harm) making the cells renew and re-produce collagen.

Pigmented lesions will darken and then crust and exfoliate off after a few days or up to a week.  Some spots are gone after only one session, depending on how long the lesion has been there.

Vascular lesions or capillaries are caused by weak blood vessels and valves therefore blood gets trapped at the end of the capillary.  Depending on the severity of the condition, a series of LHE treatments will reduce the size or the capillaries so that they are less visible or make them disappear altogether.

Works On All Skin Types and Hair

I have a special light bulb that treats skin types 5 and 6 which is very dark or black skins so please pass my website on to anyone who you think would be interested as they normally can’t be treated by laser.   It works on every hair colour, even blonde grey hairs EXCEPT red.

Frequency of Treatments

Treatments for hair removal on the body are once every 6 weeks for the first 3 treatments then every 8 weeks for 5-8 sessions. Facial hair needs to be treated more frequently, 10-12 sessions.  The first 3 sessions are to be weekly and then every 2-3 weeks. Sessions for skin rejuvenation are recommended every 1-3 weeks for 5 treatments altogether.  Vascular lesions need to be treated more frequently, twice a week for 4-6 sessions and simply dissolve into the blood stream.  I can just do spot treatments or the entire face.  Excellent results for rosacea though the condition is chronic so the skin needs to be treated every 6-8 months to control it.

The number of sessions really depends on the person and are approximate.

Help Reduce and Control Acne

Acne is a tough thing to get rid of but I can help control it.  The LHE has a red and green light which kills bacteria and calms inflammation, sessions are twice a week for a month.  Again, I can only help control the problem, acne needs to sure itself internally.  Full treatment is bi-weekly appointments for 4 weeks.
