The Epidermis

The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin. This layer consists of many special cells, including keratinocytes and melanocytes. Keratinocytes are cells that make a special fat which gives skin it’s waterproof properties. Melanocytes produce melanin, which is a pigment giving us the colour of our skin. This layer is continuously shed and replaced, every 15–30 days. The epidermis is sub-divided into 5 layers.

(1) Stratum corneum
(2) Stratum lucidum
(3) Stratum granulosum
(4) Stratum spinosum
(5) Stratum basale

The Dermis

The dermis is the second major layer of the skin. It is a thick layer made up of strong connective tissues. It is further divided into two levels – the upper is made of loose connective tissue, called the papillary region, and the lower layer is made of tissue that is more closely packed, called the reticular layer. The dermis is made up of a MATRIX OF COLLAGEN, elastin and network of capillaries and nerves. The COLLAGEN GIVES THE SKIN ITS STRENGTH, the elastin maintains its elasticity and the capillary network supplies nutrients to the different layers of the skin. The dermis also contains a number of specialised cells and structures.

These include: hair follicles, sweat glands, sebaceous glands (produce sebum which helps lubricate skin & hair) and nails.

It also plays an important part in controlling our skin temperature and acts as a cushion against mechanical injury. When injured the dermis heals through the formation of granulation tissue (a tissue rich in new blood vessels and many different cells). This tissue helps pull the edges of a cut or wound back together. It takes our body from 3 days to 3 weeks to form this tissue.

The Hypodermis

The hypodermis mainly contains the adipose (fat cells) and hence it is also called as THE SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE, and this mainly protects the person from internal damage to the organs and provide heat and storage for the body in terms of fasting, etc.

As we age or put on a lot of weight the skin starts stretching to accommodate the excess fatty tissue. Then when you start losing weight in a quick fix, the body skin may not respond immediately and therefore chances are there that your skin may sag due to non elasticity or lack of new collagen formation!!!

We now introduce the fastest noninvasive technique that helps the skin produce collagen under heated form through RF 3.6 radiofrequency skin tightening machine.

What is Radio Frequency?

Radio Frequency is the latest and most effective non-surgical body sculpturing treatment. This cutting-edge technology and equipment safely delivers controlled amounts of wavelengths of electro-magnetic energy to the lower layers of the dermis that contain collagen and fats.

Cellulite cannot be detected in this stage unless you pinch your skin in a special way.

• When radio frequency energy meets collagen the resulting resistance and heat causes the collagen to contract and tighten. The heat also stimulates the production and growth of new collagen fibres making this ideal for areas of loose and sagging skin on the face and body that require tightening.
• When radio frequency energy meets fat the resulting resistance and heat causes the breakdown of pockets of fats and fluids, allowing them to be removed naturally by the body’s lymphatic and vascular system. This an ideal treatment to aid the reduction of cellulite and fat.
• What to expect…
  During your treatment you can expect a warm sensation under your skin which is the Radio Frequency at work. It is a completey non-invasive and pain-free treatment.
• Are there any side effects?
  Some clients experience a slight reddening of the skin (the same kind of reddening when you blush) which quickly dissappears.
• How long does a treatment take?
  Each treatment is individual to the client and will vary in time.We will give an estimated time and cost for each treatment at each client consultation.
• Maintaining the treatment…
  Radio Frequency gives immediate as well as long lasting results. We advise clients to drink plenty of water before, during and after a course of treatments to aid the removal of fat and toxins from the body. Aftercare and any maintainence treatments will be discussed with every client at the end of a course of treatment.
