Lam Probe |

| |
-
The Lam Probe is used to remove small benign
cosmetic irregularities on the skin, such as
whiteheads (milla), blackheads (comedones)
pigmented epidermal growths (fibromas), broken
capillaries, pimples or pustules, blood spots
and skin tags that are prevalent on the neck and
décolleté area. The Lam Probe works on the
principle of liquids being attracted to heat,
which is released by various probes. Treatments
usually take 15-20 minutes.
|
|
| |
$50.00-$150.00/per 1st irregularity, dependent upon
the location and size of the treated area,
Additional irregularities $15.00-$50 |

Skin Tags |
|
| |
Skin tags, also known as Acrochordons or fibrous
polyps, are small flesh colored pouches that can
either be raised on the skin or protrude from the
skin on a stalk called a "peduncle." |
|
| |
|
|
| |
They are made up of loosely arranged collagen fibers
and blood vessels surrounded by a thickened or
thinned-out epidermis. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Skin tags may be either smooth or irregular.
Although the colors usually match your skin tone,
they can sometimes have a deeper pigmentation like
that of a mole. They can be found singly or in
multiples. Skin tags are small and grow slowly, and
they should never get to be more than about 1.30 cm
in size. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
They can be a small flap of skin or a round bump
that is attached to your body by a stalk. |
|
| |
 |
|
| |
They should be the same color as your skin or a bit
darker and should be soft to the touch. |
|
| |
If you have something that doesn’t match this
description, you may want to visit your doctor. |

What the
cause of skin tags |
|
| |
Skin tags are more common in middle aged women then
men or children, but anybody can get them. Both men
and women are susceptible to them as they age and
they are quite common in those over 60 years of age.
They can occur after pregnancy or weight gain. They
are also more likely seen in obese people as well as
people with Type 2 diabetes. A tendency to develop
skin tags may run in families. In some cases babies
are born with skin tags. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Skin tags are most likely found where the skin may
crease, such as around the neck, underarms, groin,
under the breasts, inside of the upper thigh area,
or on the eyelids or cheeks. They can occur just
about anywhere! |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Why get them removed? |
|
| |
Although skin tags are benign, there are number
reasons why you may want them removed. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
They may be rubbed and irritated by clothing,
jewellery, etc. which may cause some pain and an
inflammation of the area. And of course cosmetic
reasons. Facts about Skin tags |

Lam Probe |
|
| |
| |
|
Lam Probe
Is a high frequency technology for
the rapid removal of minor skin
irregularities such as
telangiectasis (broken capillaries),
cherry angiomas, skin tags,
hyper-pigmentation (brown spots),
milia (white heads), cholesterol
deposits and acne pimples. The Lam
Probe works from the principle that
liquids are attracted to heat which
is released by various probes.
Treatments are quick, and may not
even touch the surface. Small skin
tags or blood spots disappear
immediately and hyper-pigmented
areas such as liver or "age spots"
take only a few seconds. There is
minimal discomfort for the client
and healing time is short, from a
day or two for small irregularities
to a few weeks for larger skin
abnormalities |
| |
|
 . |
|
|
| |
Because these minor skin irregularities lay in the
epidermis, exfoliating with Silk Peel or Diamond Tip
Microdermabrasion before removal is recommended as
it allows you to better see and access the
irregularity. |

Beautiful Pigmentation Treatments

Too much fun in the sun, your diet and water intake
can take their toll on your skin. Thankfully, there
are several non-invasive cosmetic treatments
available that can help with damaged skin. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
IPL Skin Rejuvenation
technique uses intense pulsed light waves to treat
damaged cells deep within the skin’s layers. Since
there no incisions involved, you can undergo
treatment and go back to your regular schedule
immediately. When Skin Rejuvenation applied to face
and neck are it's referred to PhotoFacial (fotoFacial). |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The other alternative is Micro- Thermocoagulation
method (Lamprobe). The principle the device based on
is the action of a very high frequency (radio
frequency) pulse. The energy of this wave will be
transformed into heat. The energy is transmitted by
the means of a very small gauge needle which is in
contact with a lesion or capillary vessel making
them disappear. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
How PhotoFacials Work |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The PhotoFacial makes use of an intense pulsed light
(IPL) device that is steadily passed over the skin’s
surface and treatment areas. The light emits high
intensity wavelengths that reach deep within the
skin’s layers to cause a structural breakdown of
damaged cells; this promotes the healing process as
the body rapidly removes the injured tissues and
cells |
|
| |
|
|
| |
PhotoFacials offer several benefits for damaged
skin, and can help you achieve a fresh, rejuvenated
appearance. |

duration) and involve minimum client discomfort,
without a need for anesthesia
|
|
| |
2. How does the Lamprobe work? |
|
| |
-
The Lamprobe works on the principle of liquids
being attracted to heat, which is released by
various sized probes
-
A high
frequency, radio wave current is conducted and

or within the skin irregularity
-
This technology enables therapists to treat skin
abnormalities without penetrating the skin’s
surface
