What's so good about personal beauty lasers?


What's so bad about surgery? Why shouldn't I inject poisons into my body? Who cares if it gives me cancer or makes me infertile as long as I look young? Must we suffer to be beautiful? Or will a cosmetic laser treatment fix everything safely and painlessly?

What is Low Level Laser Therapy?

"Low Level Laser Therapy or Laser Phototherapy is a method where light from a laser is applied to tissue (or cells in culture) in order to influence cell or tissue functions with such low light intensity that heating is negligible. The effects achieved are hence not due to heating but to photochemical or photobiologic reactions like the effect of light in plants. The lasers used are normally referred to as therapeutic lasers." Swedish Laser Medical Society

Low Level Laser Therapy is widely used in hospitals and clinics around the world to treat and cure a number of conditions including pain relief, problematic skin conditions and to promote healing in wounds or injuries.

Low Level Laser Therapy is beneficial in repairing damaged cells and speeds up and enhances the response of the body’s immune system as well as aiding pain relief. That is why it is so effective when used for skin rejuvenation and healing acne and skin blemishes - it restores the skin to a healthy, more youthful condition.

Also, if you are suffering from hair loss, low level laser therapy can help to stimulate the hair follicles into action again, resulting in new hair growth and healthier hair. Amazing but true.

Buzz off, wrinkles: An anti-ageing cream with an electric charge isn't as shocking as you think

Have you heard the latest buzz? Forget fancy ingredients with unpronounceable names, what's getting the beauty business excited right now is something a little more, well, current. Electrical micro-current, to be precise.

Kate Moss recently confessed that she was addicted to a hand-held anti-ageing gadget called Tua Viso (£179, tinarichards.com).

It uses electrical micro-currents to lift facial muscles and stimulate new collagen in a similar way to traditional CACI electrical facelifting treatments.

Meanwhile, Parisian beauty guru Dr Veronique Simon has arrived in London with her patented anti-ageing mask, which uses micro-currents to push collagen into the skin for a replumped look which A-listers and foreign royals are queuing up for.


Using similar technology, but for home use, Estee Lauder recently launched Perfectionist Power Correcting Patches (£80 for eight pairs of patches), which contain a paper-thin battery to deliver a gentle micro-current of energy to drive anti-ageing peptides deeper into the skin and 'dramatically reduce the look of eye lines and wrinkles in just 20 minutes'.

But the newest and most innovative use of 'bio-electricity' is also the most astonishing - it comes in the form of a cream.
