The Apilus Platinum Pure
The world exclusive design of the Apilus Platinum Pure uses an ultra rapid 27MHZ radio frequency to permanently and rapidly eliminate all hair types of any colour that laser or intense pulsed light(IPL) devices cannot reproduce. This state of the art technology works twice as fast as any other epilator by optimising energy concentration in the hair follicle. The cells responsible for hair growth are more rapidly coagulated, resulting in incomparable effectiveness and comfort.
The low light laser known as Vitaphase offers ionomassage and stimulomassage which stimulates the production of mitochondrial cells, the natural healing process the after injury or damage to soft tissue
Facial Thread Veins
Facial thread veins, or telangiectasia, are permanently dilated capillaries - not broken capillaries as many people tend to believe. The very thin walls (just one cell thick) of the fine facial capillaries dilate and constrict constantly to regulate our body temperature. As we age, they lose their elasticity and the ability to constrict, often becoming permanently dilated and visible through the skin. Their visibility is often exacerbated by the breakdown of the skin's supporting network of collagen and elastin and the thinning of the skin as we age.
Causes
There are a number of possible causes of facial thread veins including ageing, smoking, alcohol consumption, hereditary and genetic factors, hormones and pregnancy. Other potential causes may include energetic sports, temperature extremes and excessive exposure to harsh weather, skin fragility, and even constipation. It is usually a combination of factors that increase the risk of developing facial thread veins or potentially exacerbating an existing problem.
Who is typically affected?
Ethnicity, genetics and hereditary factors can influence the development of vascular blemishes and disorders. Facial thread veins are a common feature of the fine, maturing 'English rose' complexion, and it may also accompany pregnancy, due to hormonal fluctuations and an increased blood supply around the body.
Skin Tags
Derived from epithelial cells, skin tags are a common skin condition that can appear anywhere on the body but are most frequently found on the neck and face, or in areas of friction, such as the armpit, under the breasts and groin. Skin tags, or acrochordon, are composed of loose fibrous tissue, forming single or multiple distributions that are often hyperpigmented. They appear with a neck like a mushroom and vary in size – from smaller than a grain of uncooked rice to the size of a large pea – or even larger.
Causes
Skin tags are considered viral in nature and while not infectious they do seem to spread on individuals. They are a benign condition and do not appear to be directly associated with any other major medical conditions. Heredity may be a related factor, and ongoing discussions about whether they originate from the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) continue. Skin friction and rubbing/chafing of skin seems to cause proliferation. Skin tags appear more frequently in pregnant women, therefore hormone elevation may be a related factor.
Who is typically affected?
Skin tags are extremely common an thought to affect more than half of the population at some point in their lives. Tags are generally acquired, and although small children may develop them in the underarm and neck area, they are much more common in the middle-aged and elderly, tending to increase in prevalence up to the age of 60. Men and women are equally prone to skin tags, and they are more common in overweight people or women with larger breasts, due to the friction/chafing.
Milia
Milia are tiny, white, lipid-epithelium plugs, which contain lamellated keratin deposits and often present as hard, solid lumps that lie in the superficial papillary dermis. They are a retention of keratin and sebaceous material within the pilosebaceous duct, eccrine sweat duct or sebaceous collar surrounding vellus hair.
Causes
The cause of milia is unknown and the reason why some people suffer from them while others do not is not fully understood. Related factors may include a high-cholesterol diet, excessive Vitamin C intake, genetics and excessively rich moisturisers. Dry, dehydrated skin, which can be acidic, may be more prone to the condition. Milia are often seen simultaneously with telangiectasia.
Who is typically affected?
Milia can potentially affect anyone regardless of age, ethnicity, or sex. Milia are very common in newborn babies (occurring in up to 50 per cent of them), considered almost normal and are often referred to as milk spots. Milia are typically white to yellow in colour, with bumps forming in a dome-like shape. They tend not to be painful or itchy.
