Why Quantum IPL? There are many different brands of Intense Pulsed Light machines and they are NOT all created equal. There is a huge variation in the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of various machines. It is a case of "caveat emptor" or let the buyer beware. Before making a decision to proceed with IPL treatments many crucial factors need to be considered. To assist you with this we outline what we are able to offer, what to look for and what questions to ask. We did extensive research ourselves before purchasing Lumenis Quantum and after seeing the results we are convinced that we made the correct decision. Reputation&Quality Lumenis, the manufacturer of our Quantum machine, invented and trade marked the IPL technology and have been treating clients around the world since 1994. They received American FDA approval for IPL in February 2000 and are recognised as the international gold standard leaders in IPL technology. Numerous independent case studies have been undertaken that support the findings of the FDA and reinforce the safety and effectiveness of the technology. (All other Intense Pulsed Light machines are simply copies of the Lumenis technology. Some are of a reasonable quality, some are very poor but none have the experience, the "track record" the proven history of quality to match Lumenis) Clinical Studies We are able to show numerous independent clinical case studies that confirm permanence of both hair removal and photorejuvenation and also confirming efficiency, effectiveness and safety of our Quantum machine. Powerful, effective and safe Quantum is a medical grade machine that has the power, 45 Joules per square centimetre, and variability of wavelength, colour spectrum, and pulse type to treat different skin conditions and skin types so that it does the job it is designed for quickly and efficiently without the risk of damaging surrounding tissue. (Some competitor machines have a maximum capacity as low as 11 Joules per square centimetre. It is very likely that a low energy machine will not destroy the hair follicle but will simply stun hairs into the "Telogen" or dormant phase of the hair growth cycle. After a period of time, probably four to six months, the hairs will return to "Anagen" or growth phase and will of course grow back) (Ironically a low energy machine is likely to present a greater risk if, to make up for the low energy, the light pulse is lengthened in an attempt to achieve permanence as this will also increase the risk of damaging surrounding tissue) (Most other IPL systems have only one treatment head to cover various treatment options and don't have the ability to make adjustments to the wavelength or pulse type therefore compromising on the effectiveness and safety of the treatment) Predictably consistent treatments The Quantum treatment head, that delivers the light pulse, has computerised recalibration capability so that the fluence, (Joules per square centimetre) is consistent and at full power throughout the life of the treatment head. Built in cooling The Quantum machine has built in cooling for client safety and comfort. (Some competitor machines do not have built in cooling so the treatment is not as pain free as it should be and the risk of burning, blistering, scarring and bruising is greatly increased.) Treatment price The Lumenis technology is very expensive and accordingly this is reflected in the treatment price but importantly you will receive excellent results and value for money. We offer payment options and course discounts to help in this regard. (Be prepared for price variations if comparing prices with different treatment providers. From our own research of competitors it is clear that a cheaper price is usually a reflection of machine quality and effectiveness. Unfortunately some providers are charging high prices for inferior machines so again it is important to do your homework before purchasing.) Getting Started We invite you to call us for a complimentary no obligation consultation. This will allow us to assess your areas of concern, provide you with the opportunity to look at the technology, to view before and after photographs of previous treatments, review case studies if you wish and to satisfy yourself that Alisa Institute of Skin Care can meet your expectations. We are confident that if you decide to have your treatments with us you will be impressed by our professionalism and delighted with the results. ...read more

  Microdermabrasion is one of the most frequently sought after non-surgical, non-invasive skin care treatments available. It has been performed successfully for years in Europe and is now one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in this country for:-Reducing fine lines and minor scars-Treating acne blemishes...-Removing sun and age spots-Cleaning enlarged and clogged pores, blackheads and whiteheads-Restoring a healthy, smooth feel to skin-Helping fight signs of aging-HyperpigmentationMicrodermabrasion is safe, quick, convenient and proven effective for all skin colors and types, from light to dark, dry to oily. This age-defying process can give a brighter, smoother appearance to any skin area in need of exfoliation such as face, neck, hands and chest.Whether you have a problem area or just want a quick pick-me-up; brighter, smoother skin is waiting for you in just a few treatments. The benefits are crystal clear.A precise stream of aluminum oxide crystals is directed through a hand piece onto the skin. This, in turn, loosens and exfoliates the top layer of dead cells. The skin is simultaneously vacuumed to reveal a fresher, healthier looking you.Microdermabrasion promotes the production of new cells in the basal (deepest) layers of the dermis and stimulates the growth of collagen to further smooth and improve skin tone and appearance. Best results are achieved through a series of treatments and a regular maintenance program. Recommended for all skin types. Microdermabrasion appeals to younger patients as a great way to reduce occasional blemish flare-ups, a deep cleansing facial and as preventative skin care to fight the first signs of aging before they actually appear.For optimum results, Microdermabrasion involves a series of treatments. True, modest results may be achieved with a single visit. However, it is unrealistic and unfounded to expect significant change from just one treatment. In the final analysis, the number of treatments depends on the type of skin you have. Our highly trained professional technicians will suggest a personal treatment plan designed to reach your desired result.Microdermabrasion cannot remove tattoos, major acne scarring, other deep scars or deep wrinkles. It treats only the skin’s outer layer (stratum corneum). This being the case, serious side effects are not an issue. Being totally non-invasive, there is virtually no discomfort, down time or recovery. Patients typically experience some redness for about an hour after the procedure. Healing time for most is just a few days. Look good, feel good. Treatments usually last 20-30 minutes for the face and longer if you include your upper chest and hands. Some patients may experience a tightness and redness of the skin, comparing it to the feeling of a mild sunburn.See More 22 People ReachedNumber of unique people who have seen this post·1 Person Talking About ThisNumber of people who are talking about this post ...read more
