Concerns/Indications
The Laser/IPL, (Intense Pulse Light), system we use at Persona is the most revolutionary medical piece of equipment available to date. It uniquely combines light energy with radio frequency, known as ELOS, allowing the operator to successfully treat all hair and skin types. The Galaxy system gives superb results in permanent hair reduction, the treatment of acne, skin rejuvenation and skin tightening wrinkle reduction and the treatment of thread veins.
All year round the skin is exposed to damaging external influences resulting in visible small red thread veins, pigmentation blemishes, enlarged pores and the appearance of fine lines and signs of ageing. Combining IPL, Intense Pulse Light and RF, Radio Frequency, energy is delivered into the skin to, stimulate the collagen in the connective tissue plumping out and smoothing the skin, and eliminate thread veins. The specially developed, pure Aloe Vera based gel, used throughout the treatment, ensures thorough hydration and the evening of skin tone. The treatment is used to rejuvenate the face, neck, décolleté and the backs of the hands.
