Aqua peel
The Hydro Peel treatment utilises a blend of three different solutions.
- The AHA solution features lactic acid and glycolic acid, which help break down keratin and enhance the skin’s texture while thoroughly cleansing the pores.
- The BHA solution includes salicylic acid, which eliminates comedones, excess sebum, and cleanses deeper pores, making it ideal for addressing congestion and controlling bacteria.
- The final solution comprises galactomyces ferment filtrate, hyaluronic acid, and acetyl hexapeptide-8, providing intense hydration and nourishment, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles, and enhancing skin elasticity and brightness.
Deep Cleanse / Exfoliation
Exfoliation technology allows oxygen to enter the skin. A vibrating cleanser uses a capsule with exfoliating sodium bicarbonate and citric acid. Mixing the capsule with a glycerol-based gel creates an effervescent effect. This reaction produces CO2, which prompts oxygen release from increased red blood cells. Natural oxygen delivery from within the body provides effective skin oxygenation, known as the 'Bohr Effect.'
Oxygenation
A deficiency in oxygen hampers cell metabolism, accelerates aging in cells, diminishes skin elasticity, and results in a dull, ashen appearance. The Oxygenation spray utilizes a Venturi effect, which disassembles the molecules in the product to promote optimal absorption, facilitating deep hydration for the skin. Utilizing this method to apply oxygen to the skin helps to boost cell metabolism and addresses these issues. Since certain bacteria cannot survive in oxygen, applying it to the skin provides an antibacterial effect, positively impacting congestion.
Electro-ion/ Skin Lifting
Electro-ion technology supports skin lifting by using electroporation, which improves the cells' ability to absorb products more effectively. This process temporarily creates openings in the outer layers of the skin, allowing for better absorption of the applied products. By utilising iontophoresis and anti-gravity techniques, the handpiece delivers brightening serums deeper into the subdermal layers of the skin, while also providing a slight muscle contraction and lifting effect.
Radio-frequency
Radio-frequency specifically targets the dermis by delivering energy, generating heat, and raising the temperature within the dermis to a steady 40-42°c.
Fibroblasts are the cells found in connective tissue responsible for the production of collagen and elastin.
Heating the dermis leads to an immediate contraction of the existing mature collagen cells, which in turn encourages fibroblast activity. This process results in the generation of new collagen, an increase in collagen diameter, and a noticeable reduction in the spaces between the fibers when viewed under a microscope, thus enhancing the density of the dermal layer and providing a skin-tightening effect.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound technology is employed for product infusion. The ultrasound utilised in cosmetic procedures has both thermal and biochemical effects.
Its thermal action enhances blood circulation and boosts cellular metabolism.
The biochemical effects initiate a micro-massage within the tissue, affecting fibroblasts and promoting the creation of new collagen. The ultrasound permits a greater absorption of active ingredients through the skin barrier.
Fire and Ice
The Fire and Ice plate is a handpiece that operates in dual modalities, capable of reaching a maximum temperature of 42°C for warming and a minimum of 5°C for cooling.
By consistently heating the skin to 42°C, this process stimulates the production of heat-shock proteins. These proteins are generated by cells in response to challenging conditions. They aid in skin repair and enhance the skin's elasticity. Heating to 42°C helps to open up the pores for thorough cleansing.
Conversely, the 5°C cooling effect instantly firms the pores, reduces surface blood flow, providing an immediate brightening and tightening effect on the skin, while also helping to retain moisture.
