HAIR REDUCTION
USING IPL
Intense Pulsed Light is a technologically advanced method of removing unwanted hair permanently from any area of the face or body.
The colour of hair is determined by an amount of melanin, or pigmentation found inside the hair follicle. IPL light energy targets the melanin inside the hair follicle. The amount of pigmentation in the follicle is reflected in the darkness in hair colour. Blonde, red, grey or white hairs are invisible to the light energy and therefore will not be treated. The pigmentation is heated and destroys the active cells in the follicle that grow the hair. Once those cells are dead, the hair follicle can never grow hair again.
RESULTS
It takes more than one treatment to achieve maximum hair loss. Each hair has 3 cycles of hair growth and it is only the active – Anagen, cycle that will respond to any permanent removal treatment. The total amount of treatments required depends on the area of the body treated, your age and skin type. The hair is still in the hair follicle after IPL treatment and takes about 7-10 days to fall out. Do not pluck, wax or use threading during the course of hair reduction treatments. On some parts of the body this may actually make the hair stronger.
SENSATION
The treatment feels like hot flicks of a rubber band. It is normal for the skin to feel mildly sun burnt after treatment, yet most people have very little redness. It is important immediately after treatment not to overheat the skin for 24 hours with hot baths, spa baths or saunas.
Unfortunately nothing can guarantee 100% removal of hair.
PIGMENTATION THERAPY
USING IPL
Intense Pulsed Light is a light based treatment proven to provide a solution to various skin conditions on the face and other areas of the body commonly the arms, chest area and hands. Photo facial, Photo rejuvenation and Light therapy are all terms that refer to this type of treatment. Light waves are passed through the skin and target specific pigments; melanin in the skin (responsible for age spots, ‘liver spots’, freckles) The light energy converts to heat energy and it is this heat that damages the pigmented cells, without overheating the surrounding skin.
RESULTS
It will take more than one treatment to get the best result. Often it is recommended 4-6 treatments be taken, although individual response could reduce the amount of treatments needed. Treatments are performed every 3 – 6 weeks depending on the area.
It is important to remember that pigmentation is primarily caused by sun exposure. Sunblock must be worn every day . We can not guarantee 100% removal of pigmentation. Hormonal influences and medications may also increase pigmentation on the skin or be the cause of a slow response to treatment. Maintenance treatments may be needed.
SENSATION
There is usually redness in the area treated immediately after treatment. This often only lasts a few hours. Pigmentation will darken over several days and then just flake off. Do not pick them or try to rub these darkened areas off. It is rare but sometimes superficial blistering of the skin can occur. Contact your therapist immediately. Do not pick at the blisters, they will heal. This may take up to 7 days.
The treatment feels like hot flicks of a rubber band. It is normal for the skin to feel mildly sun burnt after treatment. This takes a few hours at most to get back to normal. It is important at this stage not to overheat the skin for 24 hours with hot baths, spa baths or saunas. Alcohol and coffee (stimulants) may also make the treated area feel hotter.
It is highly recommended to not use any AHA or Retin A type products on the area until it has fully healed.
REDNESS THERAPY
USING IPL
Intense Pulsed Light is a light based treatment proven to provide a solution to various skin conditions on the face and other areas of the body commonly the arms, chest area and hands.Photo facial, Photo rejuvenation and Light therapy are all terms that refer to this type of treatment. The light targets the oxy-haemoglobin, red pigment found in blood; (capillaries, red veins, rosacea).You might see a darkening of the treated capillary inside the skin. They are then absorbed, with the original redness taking days, or weeks to improve. The light energy converts to heat energy and it is this heat that damages the pigmented cells, without overheating the surrounding skin.
RESULTS
It will take more than one treatment to get the best result. Often it is recommended 4-6 treatments be taken. The degree of redness and capillary size will influence the amount of treatments need as does individual response. Treatments are performed every 3 – 6 weeks depending on the area.
SENSATION
There is usually redness in the area treated immediately after treatment. There can be slight swelling in the treated area. This may take 48 hours to lessen. It is rare but sometimes superficial blistering of the skin can occur. Contact your therapist immediately. Do not pick at the blisters, they will heal. This may take up to 7 days.

A course of 3 treatments are recommended for wrinkles, at 6 week intervals, and 4 - 6 treatments for scarring and stretchmarks.

COSMETIC TATTOO
Cosmetic tattoo or micro pigmentation is the implantation of colour into the upper dermal layer of the skin. The equipment and pigments used are specially designed to give a natural enhancement of the facial features; eyebrows, eye lining, lip lining and full lip creation.
Micro pigmentation is also used for paramedical procedures such as re creating, re pigmenting the areola/nipple area after reconstructive surgery. Pigment implantation can be used to simulate hair – lost during chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and burns or with alopecia.
Loss of skin colour due to burns or other accidents can be evened out with micro pigmentation.
There is a 4-7 day healing process after each treatment, which usually results in a 30 – 40% fading of the colour. Immediately after the treatment the colour may look quite intense and that will change to a much more natural look after the healing process.
It is always recommended that you have 2 treatments initially, 8 weeks apart to obtain the most long lasting results.
Permanency will depend on various factors, including the colour of pigment used, areas treated and the clients natural response. Most areas last on average around 6 years.
All treatments with REJUV are undertaken with the aim of being as natural as possible, and touch ups are recommended to maintain the desired effect.
