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.  
 

Skin Tag, Mole & Angiomas

 
  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

 

Lam Probe.

 
 

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.

Body 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.  
     
  PhotoFacials can help to:  
 
  • Reduce the appearance of age spots
  • Remove fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improve the complexion
  • Increase collagen production to help create healthy and resilient skin
  • Break down and remove damaged skin tissue and cells naturally
  • Improve the texture and tone of the skin
  • Get rid of acne scars and skin pigmentation
  • Enhance skin tone and help even out darker shades or patches of skin

Cherry angiomas are clusters of capillaries at the surface of the skin, forming a small round dome, papule. They range in color from bright red, purple or brown. When they first develop, they may be only a tenth of a millimeter in diameter and almost flat, appearing as small red dots. However, they then usually grow in diameter. As they grow larger, they tend to expand in thickness, and may take on the raised and rounded dome shape.  Cherry angiomas may bleed profusely if they are picked at or scraped.

  Some Causes:  
  Heredity may be the biggest factor; Cherry angiomas appear spontaneously in many people in middle age but can also occur in an aggressive eruptive manner in any age. The underlying cause for the development is not understood, much because of a lack of interest in the subject  
     
  Present findings suggest that hemangioma may occur through two different mechanisms: angiogenesis (the formation of new blood) and vasculogenesis (the formation of new veins).  
     
 

In most patients, the number and size of cherry angiomas increases with advancing age. They are harmless, except in very rare cases that involve a sudden appearance of many angiomas, which can be a sign of a developing internal malignancy.

 
  If they are cosmetically unappealing or are subject to bleeding, angiomas may be removed, but this may cause scarring  
     
  On the rare occasions that they require removal, traditionally cryosurgery or electrosurgery (destroying/burning the tissue with a probe that has an electric current) have been used.   More recently Radio Frequency, Diode, pulsed dye, Yag or Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments are used.
