Non-invasive skin treatment technologies

Utrasonic Spatula

Ultrasonic has been used for cosmetic purposes since the early 1980’s. Because of its wide therapeutic use and the great results, the ultrasonic instrument is a natural for use in skincare treatments.

Ultrasonic sound waves act on the body in the following way: they stimulate cells. The tiny massage it produces expands the space in which the cells exist, causing movement of cytoplasm, the rotation of mitochondria, and the vibration of the cell nucleus; it stimulates and expands the cell membrane. It improves local blood and lymph circulation and increase penetration of skin enhancing products.

Warming and heating action is one of the most important therapeutic factors of Ultrasound. It is a kind of internal heat, with an increase of about 79-80% - this heat is carried away by the blood circulation and is not perceived by the client. This warming action can change the blood circulation and help to reduce inflammation. It is of great benefit prior plastic surgery to reduce swelling and after the healing process is well on its way to reduce puffiness. It produces a relaxing and comforting effect on the client.

Small doses of ultrasound can promote the synthesis of protein inside the cells, help to regenerate wounded tissues and promote the synthesis of fiber cells in the body. The accelerated metabolism of the cells changes the pH level of the skin to a more alkaline state and facilitates the absorption of any induced products. The skin visibly lightens and smoothes.

The Ultrasonic Spatula is the new generation of microdermabrasion or what is being called soft peeling. There is little to no redness or downtime with this treatment. This unit offers ablation or retexturing results with the safe and gentle use of ultrasound vibration of up to 28,000 cycles per second.

First, the Ultrasonic vibrations exfoliate the superficial scaly layers of the skin, reviving the skin tissue. When water is exposed to ultrasound vibrations, the ultrasonic emission has a spectacular effect on the water molecules, which become pulverized. This is called micronization. It creates a soft peeling effect rendering the skin youthful and luminous after the first treatment.

Secondly, the sound waves are used to push in vital nutrients, as determined by the esthetician. This flip side of the spatula provides an intense micro-massage to heat the skin tissue, stimulating the blood flow. This position of the spatula helps the penetration of regenerating skincare products into the deeper levels of skin tissue, again accelerating blood circulation and strengthening of the skin tissue metabolism resulting in reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.

This two step treatment causes the skin to receive product by first exfoliating and then deep penetration of nutrients, stimulating the skin’s natural collagen fibers to help re-build the tissues. Collagen fibers are what give the skin a plump look as seen in youthful skin. Elastin is the fibers that give your face its elasticity. Both the exfoliating treatment and the product infusion help stimulate and rebuild these fibers.

Dermafiles

The Perfect Appearance Dermafile™ is a skin polishing and resurfacing tool made of stainless steel and finely crushed cosmetic diamonds. This file will lightly polish the skin by hand, removing the top layer of dead skin cells, and leaving velvety smooth, fresh, rejuvenated skin. The technician has total control over the process, allowing varying levels of the epidermis to be safely removed. It is a very effective tool for treating aging and sun damaged skin, scars, acne scarring, pigmentation, stretch marks, fine lines and enlarged and clogged pores. Dermafiles™ are a patented skin polishing and resurfacing tool made of stainless steel and finely crushed diamonds. These files will lightly polish the skin by hand, removing the top layer of dead skin cells, and leaving velvety smooth, fresh, rejuvenated skin.

The Dermafiles™ are very effective tools for treating aging and sun damaged skin, scars, acne scarring, pigmentation, stretch marks, fine lines and enlarged and clogged pores. It will also smooth rough, dry or calloused skin.

The Dermafile™ is designed for licensed professionals only.

It is available in three diamond grit sizes: Fine, Medium, and Coarse.

This provides the professional technician total control over the process, allowing varying levels of the epidermis to be safely removed.

These files can be purchased separately but I encourage you to purchase the set. You will use all three! The fine is great for sensitive, rosacea and acne skin. You'll also want to use it if you're doing an eye treatment. The medium will be your normal skin types. The coarse is for thick sun damaged skin, acne scarred skin and male skin. It's also great for hand treatments.

Its inherent safety and flexibility enables it to be used for a wide variety of applications; Psoriasis Care, Acne Clearance, Skin Tightening, Skin Rejuvenation, Wrinkle Reduction, Collagen Renewal, Vascular and Pigmented Lesion Treatments and Hair Removal.

• Non-invasive, non-abrasive treatments
• No down time
• Clinically proven results
• Proven safety and efficacy for all skin types
• Especially suited for Skin Types V-VI
• Easy to use

The Development of Phototherapy

Phototherapy uses light to heal or treat a medical or aesthetic condition. Phototherapy balances wavelengths, intensity and exposure (pulse) duration to tailor each treatment to specific needs and conditions.

In the early 80's, a new method of light-based therapy, selective photothermolysis, was developed. The theory of selective photothermolysis maintains that by optimizing certain application parameters, the practitioner can target a specific chromophore while minimizing the effect on surrounding tissue.

Most light-based technologies, like laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), rely on light energy to effect clinical changes while they filter out the subsequent heat. They filter out the heat created by the light flash or pulse. Because they filter out the heat instead of using it, they require very high fluences for clinical efficacy, high fluences that require skin cooling techniques to protect the client from burns. Radiancy felt there had to be a better way.

The LHE Difference

LHE advances the principles of selective photothermolysis by utilizing the dual energy pathways of light and heat to gain the greatest advantage of the light/heat relationship. Patented internal filters protect the skin and proprietary algorithms take full advantage of the skins thermal absorption characteristics. These innovations create the exact balance of light and heat necessary to achieve clinical efficacy in a variety of clinical applications.

Because it uses low fluences, LHE’s natural fusion of light and heat creates a far more efficient photo thermal technique. The addition of direct heat increases overall effectiveness and lowers fluence to ultra safe levels. Lowering fluence allows us to eliminate the need for skin cooling techniques, simplify the treatment process and minimize risk of harmful side effects, making it safer, easier and more cost effective.

This unique balance of light and heat also enabled effective treatment for the more difficult hair (i.e., salt-n-pepper) and skin types. Skin Types V-VI and sensitive, and Asian skin could now comfortably and safely benefit from phototherapy treatments. A specialized LUA (light unit assembly) for these skin types further enhances safety and comfort without compromising results.

Radiancy Clear Touch Light

Adapting LHE technology’s inherent safety and flexibility, Radiancy has achieved a significant breakthrough in acne phototherapy.

ClearTouch Lite is a scaled down version of the more powerful LHE devices for professionals. It is a localized treatment modality that delivers the benefits and efficacy of harsher systemic antibiotic treatments without any of the negative side effects.
