IPL Treatments
IPL is a non-invasive light based technology used to permanently reduce unwanted hair and remove many skin conditions. Such conditions as age spots, sun spots, freckles, superficial capillaries and other unsightly discoloration of the skin can be eliminated using this technology. IPL is also incredibly effective for those of us who suffer from Rosacea and can even stimulate fibroplast causing increased collagen production in your skin for a more natural, lively, healthier looking you!

IPL hair reduction treatments are a safe, easy, painless and quick solution to unwanted hair and can be successfully used on the body or the face.

Pigmentation Treatment |
 |
|
Whether born with them or acquired over the course of a lifetime, virtually everyone has one or more sun spots, freckles or skin discolouration they'd love to get rid of! A doctor's letter confirming that no skin cancers are present is usually required before commencing your treatment cycle and a series of 4-6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart are reqired for optimal results. Treatment areas such as backs of hands, forearms, decolletage and face will respond well. |

Rejuvenation Treatment |
 |
|
Everybody loves the sunshine! Limited exposure is good for the soul and the immediate effects it has on the skin such as a tan and healthy glow are much desired. However, in the long term, sun exposure decreases the production of collagen, which in turn causes damage to the skin making it feel wrinkled and coarse and looking red and tired. Skin rejuvenation treatments will improve skin tone, texture, refine and refresh the skin by increasing the production of collagen in the skin. |

Vascular Treatment |
 |
|
Estimates indicate that unsightly veins are a common problem for more than 60% of the adult population! Waterlily's trained therapists can offer treatments which will reduce facial vascular blemishes such as red flushing (Rosacea), thread veins and red spots found on cheeks and around the nose with minimal downtime or risk. A treatment cycle of 4-6 treatments spaced two to three weeks apart is usually required to reach your best possible outcome. |
