This delivers a surprisingly significant tightening of the skin.<\/p>\n<p>Plasma BT treatments are delivered using a needle or probe for very precise delivery of the plasma energy. Treatments are highly targeted.<\/p>\n<h4>Non-Surgical Eye Lift<\/h4>\n<p>Eye rejuvenation is the best known use of Plasma BT treatment, as the treatment enables clients to see radical anti-ageing to the delicate eye area without recourse to surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Using advanced technology, Plasma BT triggers localised skin tightening which can significantly improve some of the more difficult sigs of ageing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Eye bags<\/li>\n<li>Droopy eye lids<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In doing so, it will also improve:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Crow&#8217;s feet<\/li>\n<li>Laughter lines<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As no skin is actually removed, it is a safer option to surgery and also less costly for clients.<\/p>\n<h4>Other Treatments<\/h4>\n<p>Plasma energy can also be used for other areas of rejuvenation and improvement:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lines and wrinkles<\/li>\n<li>Lifting<\/li>\n<li>Improving scars<\/li>\n<li>Reducing or removing broken blood vessels\/capillaries\/spider veins<\/li>\n<li>Localised treatment of troublesome acne cysts<\/li>\n<li>Skin tag removal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Plasma BT Demonstration &#8211; Eye Rejuvenation<\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L7P1uhu3ddw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;IPL Laser&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.19.17&#8243; title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=&#8221;0em&#8221; title_text_shadow_vertical_length=&#8221;0em&#8221; title_text_shadow_blur_strength=&#8221;0em&#8221; body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=&#8221;0em&#8221; body_text_shadow_vertical_length=&#8221;0em&#8221; body_text_shadow_blur_strength=&#8221;0em&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light<\/h4>\n<p>This is sophisticated laser technology that can be used on a whole range of skin conditions, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>rosacea<\/li>\n<li>sun damage<\/li>\n<li>thread veins \/ broken capillaries<\/li>\n<li>acne<\/li>\n<li>skin rejuvenation (lines and wrinkles)<\/li>\n<li>promoting collagen production<\/li>\n<li>pigmentation including freckles, sun spots, liver spots, birth marks, melasma \u2013 clearer more even skin tone<\/li>\n<li>redness or flushing<\/li>\n<li>improving skin texture<\/li>\n<li>reducing pore size and\/or\u00a0oiliness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A major advantage of IPL is that\u00a0it can treat the skin without any disruption to the its surface, unlike cosmetic injections.<\/p>\n<p>It is also seen as a more natural approach, as it works to stimulate the skin\u2019s own biological processes for clearer complexion and increased collagen, which has an effect of firming and tightening the skin, leaving it more radiant and clear looking.<\/p>\n<h4>How Does IPL Laser Skin Therapy Work?<\/h4>\n<p>Intense Pulsed Light treatments are like a very powerful camera flash lamp being held against your skin.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The intense light is converted into heat energy<\/li>\n<li>The light waves target colour pigments in the skin such as melanin in brown spots and freckles; or haemoglobin in broken or diffused blood vessels.<\/li>\n<li>The light waves can also target specific protein molecules in acne bacteria and in collagen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>IPL Technology<\/h4>\n<p>Dr Barbara Kubicka has the latest IPL technology from Sharp Light for skin rejuvenation and treating a variety of skin conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the condition being treated and the patient\u2019s individual skin physiology; the device can be precisely adjusted to the most appropriate wavelength of laser beam or combination of wavelengths. In addition, the power, number and length of pulses can be altered.<\/p>\n<p>This makes it a highly customised and accurate treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Kubicka also specialises in combining IPL with other treatments, such as\u00a0chemical peels for an enhanced effect.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Plasma Shower&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.19.17&#8243; title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=&#8221;0em&#8221; title_text_shadow_vertical_length=&#8221;0em&#8221; title_text_shadow_blur_strength=&#8221;0em&#8221; body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=&#8221;0em&#8221; body_text_shadow_vertical_length=&#8221;0em&#8221; body_text_shadow_blur_strength=&#8221;0em&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>Plasma Energy<\/h4>\n<p>Like Plasma BT, Plasma Shower uses\u00a0plasma energy, but with a handpiece that distributes the plasma over a much a wider application area.<\/p>\n<p>Plasma energy works to stimulate skin renewal processes without any chemicals or injections, making it an appealing option for those who prefer a more natural approach to treatment.<\/p>\n<p>The plasma energy heats the skin&#8217;s inner layers, stimulating collagen production. With plasma shower, the treamtent also works to sterilise any bacteria on the skin&#8217;s surface.<\/p>\n<h4>Acne Treatment<\/h4>\n<p>Plasma shower is an excellent option for acne sufferers, as the treatment destroys bacteria on or near to the skin&#8217;s surface, removing the irritant. It also helps in reduction of pore size and excessive oiliness.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the plasma energy works to stimulate healing, aiding recovery and reducing inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>It can be used on the body as well as the face.<\/p>\n<h4>Other Treatments<\/h4>\n<p>Plasma Shower is very effective over larger areas and has a host of potential benefits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Skin rejuvenation and tightening<\/li>\n<li>Healing and skin cell regeneration<\/li>\n<li>Promotes a clearer and more even complexion<\/li>\n<li>Reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L7P1uhu3ddw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Cryolipolysis &#8211; MiCool A&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.19.17&#8243; title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=&#8221;0em&#8221; title_text_shadow_vertical_length=&#8221;0em&#8221; title_text_shadow_blur_strength=&#8221;0em&#8221; body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=&#8221;0em&#8221; body_text_shadow_vertical_length=&#8221;0em&#8221; body_text_shadow_blur_strength=&#8221;0em&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>MiCool-A is advanced technology for body shaping and treatment of cellulite.<\/p>\n<p>It offers an excellent solution for those clients that struggle with specific areas such as abdomen, thighs or buttocks; that remain stubbornly resistant to toning despite dieting and exercise.<\/p>\n<p>Cryolipolysis uses intensive cold to blitz troublesome pockets of fat.
