The SpaTouch System
In recent years laser/light based photoepilation has been established as an
effective method of long-lasting hair removal. Although the technology
offers clear advantages over waxing and shaving, laser/light treatments have
remained beyond the reach of most consumers due to their high cost. The Spa
Touch PhotoEpilation System (TM) was designed to provide an affordable way
to remove unwanted hair, with long lasting results.

This 42 year old male, skin type 2 with light
brown/reddish back hair was previously treated with an alexandrite
laser. The density was somewhat diminished leaving less hair on the
right side. He was then treated with Spa Touch on the more dense, left
side and continued with Alexandrite treatments to the right side.

LASER HAIR REGROWTH THERAPY
What is laser hair therapy?
The LLLT (low level light) Therapy Unit is the most innovative laser system
available in today's market for hair therapy offering sleek and brilliant
design coupled with the latest technology.
What does laser hair therapy do?
The LLLT Therapy Unit was designed to create a cleaner and healthier
environment for the hair and scalp using light energy.
Light energy, when delivered at a low power frequency at different
wavelengths, has a bio-stimulating effect on the body. Red light, visible to
the human eye, is delivered at 660 nanometers and provides topical heat and
massages the scalp allowing the pores to open. Infrared light, invisible to
the human eye, is delivered at 940 nanometers and transmits deeper beyond
the scalp reaching the cell structure below. The infrared light increases
cellular metabolism, blood circulation and the supply of oxygen. The
synergistic effect created by the two forms of light allows for an effective
producer application and gives the hair its best chance for a healthy growth
cycle.
Other effects of light at a lower frequency are: a rapid reduction of
inflammatory edema along with a drastic reduction of pain. The infrared
light operates at the peripheral nerve fiber level, activating the process
of myelimization, optimizing the synaptic function. Infrared light also
promotes the process of cicanization or healing.
At the joint levels, range of motion (ROM), muscle strength and muscle
resistance are all quickly recovered along with the normalization of the
neuromuscular function. The infrared light has a contemporaneous resolution
of traumatic wounds and surgery during rehabilitation.
The product has obtained the necessary approval from European control groups
satisfying BBC directives governing electromagnetic and safety
compatibility. This product is in compliance with and has met all
requirements, for a laser product, set out by the U.S. Food & Drug
Administration pursuant to 21 C.F.R. § 1040.
Digital Imaging System
The digital imaging system is the professional, more advanced system of
enlargement for observation of the skin. This system magnifies the surface
of the skin up to 200x. This degree of enlargement shows details that are
invisible to the naked eye. This system will automatically diagnose the skin
problem, recommend treatment, and monitor the client's laser treatment
progress.

Clinical Test Info
-
Number of Subjects: 100
-
Average Age of Subjects: 45
-
Number of Male Subjects: 80
-
Number of Female Subjects: 20
All of the subjects presented initially with various forms of alopecia and
hairloss.
The following findings are a result of the clinical trials performed by
(Blocked for Privacy Control) Clinic. Milan, Italy
The treatment of the subjects with the BHC Treatment System LDS 100 resulted
in a photoreception at the mitochondrial level. Specifically, the radiation
was absorbed at the level of the respiratory chain (cytochromes, oxidized
cytochromes, dehydogenase flowin) with the consequent activation of the same
chain, activating the NAD (Nicotinamide Adanine Nucleutide). At the cellular
membrane level, there is an increase in the activity of the enzyme, Na/K
aptasis, which activated the flow of Ca+.
The results showed an increase of transduction and amplification of the
stimulus in the cellular ambit, with the activation of the cyclical
nucleotides which modulate the synthesis of the mRNA and the DNA.
The final photoresponse brought about a bio-stimulating effect on various
levels of the cellular metabolism. The exposure to the LDS 100, in short,
brought an increase in the cellular metabolism accompanied by and increase
of the capillary vascular bed of the radiated area, along with an increase
in the supply of oxygen.
Consequently, this metabolic increase resulted in the drastic diminution of
hair loss (evidenced by Fig. 1-A below indicating the high percentages in
the antagen stage), accompanied by a reactivation of the mitotic activity at
the bulb level with an increase of follicular density and relative
diminution of the interfollicular spaces.

Scientific Explanation and Research Data
BHC Class I B Laser Recent studies of the
sensorial receptor and the chrome strengths have established that light
emission can stimulate the sensorial receptor in different ways
according to its wavelength. The active stimulus sent forth by the BHC
Class I B laser (694 nm) is the result of research and experimentation
by experts in photo-electronics, chrome therapy and psychology.
The process of photosynthesis is an excellent example of how light
energy can stimulate activity and growth in plant life. Exposure to
light results in the bronzing or tanning of the skin. Large
multinational companies like GE and Phillips have been spending billions
of dollars on the effects of light therapy. The BHC laser system was
designed to create a healthier and cleaner environment for the hair and
the scalp which not only then permits a more effective product
application but also increases the potential for the maturation of the
hair.
The product has obtained the necessary approval from European control
groups satisfying EEC directives governing electromagnetic and safety
compatibility. This product is in compliance with and has met all
requirements, for a laser product, set out by the U.S. Food & Drug
Administration pursuant to 21 C.F.R. § 1040.
One can understand the applicable principles of infrared through some
simple concepts of biophysics, illustrating the photo-biological
interaction with the cells. The spectrum of the electromagnetic waves,
in operation of the length of the wave, gives rise to the following
classifications; radio waves, centimeter waves, infrared rays, visible
light, ultraviolet, x-rays, nuclear and cosmic radiation.
|
 |
The living beings live in the
compressed spectrum between the infrared and the ultraviolet, with the
maximum sensibility around the red color. The cells react to the
wavelength of all electromagnetic radiations. Such reactions can be
stimulating or harmful according to the power of the radiation.
If you administer radiations with an instrument at a lower power level,
said radiations have a bio-stimulating effect. If the radiations are
generated at a higher power level, they become isolative.
The infrared radiation penetrates in depth. It transmits without
producing great photo-biological effects; if not there where it comes to
be absorbed then in the interface between the epidermis and the dermis.
The photo-biological bases of therapeutic use of infrared radiation
re-engage themselves in a mechanism "fallen" on various structures.
There is a photoreception at the microcondrial level. The radiation is
absorbed at the level of the respiratory chain (cytochromes, oxidase
cytochrome, dehydrogenase flowin …) with the consequent activation of
the respiratory chain and further the activation of the NAD.
At the cellular membrane level there is an increase in the activity of
the enzyme Na/K, which in turn acts on the flow of Ca+. At this point
one has a transduction and an amplification of the stimulus in the ambit
cell structure, with the activation of the cyclical nucleotides which
modulate the syneresis of the RNA and the DNA. The final photo-response
is the bio-stimulation at various levels of the cellular metabolic
structure. The biological activation spreads from cell to cell sending
chemical transmissions. The infrared light increases the cellular
metabolism accompanied by an augmentation of the capillary vascular bed
of the radiant vascular zone with an increase also in the supply of
oxygen.
Other effects of infrared light at a lower frequency are: a rapid
reduction of inflammatory edemas along with a drastic reduction of pain.
The infrared light operates at the peripheral nerve fiber level,
activating the process of myelinization, optimizing the synaptic
function. Infrared light also promotes the process of cicatrization or
healing.
At the joint levels, range of motion (ROM), muscle strength and muscle
resistance are all quickly recovered along with the normalization of the
neuromuscular function. The infrared light has a contemporaneous
resolution of traumatic wounds and surgery during rehabilitation.

TATTOO REMOVAL

Patient Profiles
FACIAL TONING

What causes wrinkles and makes facial muscles sag?
Through the years we have been told that skin wrinkles and sagging are
the result of weather, sunlight's ultraviolet rays, emotions, soap, etc.
To some extent these all contribute to the cause. Research has shown,
though, that with age, the collagen and elastin fibers become less
effective in supporting the skin. This natural aging process causes the
skin to wrinkle, and the underlying muscles to sag. When one is young,
these muscles are strong and resilient, the face is firm and complexion
glows. As time passes, these muscles tend to weaken and lose their
elasticity. Double chin, age-telling wrinkles, fine lines and "crow's
feet" appear. Thus a person begins to appear older. Facial toning can
change all that. It will improve the very beauty foundation of your face
and neck and gently coax them back to a youthful resilience and tone.
Texture and complexion will be vastly improved.
OXYGEN
THERAPY

What is Oxygen Therapy?
Appearances uses the ECHO-2 treatment system. This is an acronym for
Exfoliation, Cleansing, Hydration, Oxygenation. It is the most effective
skin treatment program of it's kind, designed to cleanse, nourish and
revitalize every skin cell on the face, pore by pore. 180 million
particles of nutrients are propelled onto every pore in the skin. It is
clinically superior in hydrating dry skin cells with the unique osmotic
hydration system. This is truly 21st century treatment!
MICRODERMABRASION

What can Microderm Abrasion do for me?
The Pro Peel Skin Rejuvenation System can help turn back the hands of
time. Improve the appearance of sun damage, fine line wrinkles, age
spots, and soften superficial blemishes and acne scarring from the very
first treatment.
Collagen producing cells in your skin are called fibroblasts. When
stimulated by exfoliation they go into a repair mode, promoting a new
“younger” layer of skin.
