皮膚老化
內因性的老化
原因 - 和基因有关, 人種, 皮膚類型及荷尔蒙的变化有关係。
形成
皮下纖維細胞的数量減少, 因膠原纖維的製造量減少, 這將造成皮膚上的表皮真皮層变薄, 变脆弱,失彈性,此外真皮層的彈性纖維隨著年齡的加慢慢地消失,皮下脂肪層的脂肪減少。 当皮膚失去它的彈性， 由於地心引力和脸部表情肌肉收縮形成越來越明顯的鬆軟,因此起皺紋， 脸颌,下巴以及颈部的皺紋。
外因性的老化
主要是因生活方式和環境影响,日光是导致或造成老化的主要外在因素。曬斑,老斑, 雀斑,...等等都是日光性皮膚老化的現象。日光中的紫外线A(UVA)和紫外线B(UVB)不僅鼓動黑素細胞的活躍，導致在我們皮膚斑斑點點的出現，它在真皮也導致皮膚退化的症狀。像：
1. 第一型(I)及第三型(III)的膠原纖維含量減少
2. 彈性纖維組織的退化
3. 真皮組織的慢性發炎
真皮組織的這些变化不仅將造成皮膚粗糙, 失去光澤及細皺紋的增加, 由于膠原纖維大量減少, 皮膚內的微血管無法得到足够的支撑, 將造成皮膚微血管扩张。
如何預防皮膚老化？
一直应用防曬措施。 然而太陽曝光造成的皮膚老化常常在一些人身上产生。 除努力应用防曬膏和皮膚的治療療程之外，我們提供顧客最佳產品 - 能量美颜法(EBT)。 EBT能量美颜法能直接地刺激在真皮的纖維細胞，增加膠原纖維和彈性纖維的生產，提高纖維真皮的成長并且去除微血管扩张不會損傷真皮。 因而達到年輕和光亮皮膚。
斑斑點點
黑斑
亦稱肝斑。經常出现在生育年齡婦女的面頰和前額的棕色斑, 黑斑的顏色类似肝臟的顏色。然而黑斑不是以任何方式与任何肝衰竭或官能不良有关。黑斑主要归结于在皮膚黑色素代謝不良，并且不容易被去除的。
原因
1. Effect of female hormone (pregnancy, menopause or oral contraceptive pill consumption causes dark spots formation and darkening of the spots).
2. Chronic affection of UV lights (hence sunscreen protection is essential).
3. Incorrect use of skin care or cosmetic product (especially product that contain mercury which shows whitening effect during the initial period of use, subsequently it will accelerate the deposition of pigmentation, causing the formation of dark spots).
雀斑
Freckles, mainly due to dominant heredity and the increased number of melanin. It is a dark brown colored spot that is as small as sesame or a grain. Freckles are difficult to cure completely. Sun exposure will increase the formation of freckles and darken its color. Therefore it is important to avoid over exposure of sunlight. Procedures involving exfoliation and electric current might be effective in treating freckles, but the effect is temporary and freckles will reappear after a period.
曬斑和老斑
Sun spots, as the name suggested is due to continual sun exposure. It happens to exposed body parts, such as face, arms, chest, upper back or calf. Age spots also known as “sunlight keratosis”. Age spots look brown-grey or yellow in color, and it appears to be extremely dry due to keratinization. Sun spots usually appear together with age spots. Therefore, sun spots always referred to an early sign of age spots, they are both skin aging symptoms caused by prolonged sun exposure. They reoccur easily due to aging factor and prolonged sun exposure.
太田母斑
It is caused by the production of melanocyte in the dermis, but it will not disappear automatically. It often seen around the eye, cheek, forehead and nose. Blue color pigmentation could be seen on the conjunctiva of the eye.

如何使用IMAGIC技術去除黑斑點
Before treatment - Pigmentation & Telangiectasia are formed
During treatment
After treatment - Pigmentation & Telangiectasia are disappeared
Fully utilizing of multiple wavelength of intense pulse energy, the energy is absorbed by melanin in the skin effectively. As pulse energy is released in a short time frame, melanin will absorb high pulse energy in a shorter time frame in order to be destroyed. However the short period of time is not sufficient for the energy to reach tissues surrounding the melanin, hence achieving the target of our treatment that is to destroy melanin without damaging the skin around it.
Wrinkles
原因
Under normal circumstances, collagen and elastic fibre in the dermis are lined up orderly in a parallel crisscross format. When certain factors spoil these two types of fibre, they will become different in size, twisted and entwined together, disorderly, causing them to lose their function of supporting the dermis. Together with the contraction of subcutaneous fat, wrinkles are formed.
Age; over exposure to UV rays; dry and dehydrated skin, improper cleansing; stimulation by dirt and make-up; long term use of improper skin care product; emotional; too much facial expression, and unhealthy lifestyle are just few of the main reasons of winkles.
Prevention
The principle of removing wrinkles is to prevent and treat it at its root. Avoiding direct to sunlight is undoubtedly the most important. Other preventions include healthy daily routine, positive attitude, proper cleansing and skin care, prevention of skin dehydration, and avoiding too much facial expression.
How to remove wrinkles?
Using pulse energy to penetrate epidermis to reach dermis layer, during the process of releasing heat the epidermis uses the special cooling system of pulse energy to protect skin form harm. When the energy absorbed by the dermis is sufficient to induce contraction of collagen and stimulates fibroblast to produce new elastic fibre and collagen to support our skin, aged and wrinkled skin will contract and regain its elasticity. Thus it will improve the appearance of fine lines. However, according to researches, you need repeated treatments to achieve visible effects.
Pathological Changes of Capillaries
It includes hyperplastic capillaries in the leg veins, varicosity, bushy telangiectasia, hyperplastic of facial capillaries, port wine stain, angioma, and abnormal veins. The cause of telangiectasia is related to bad circulation. Blood flowing back to the heart through blood vessels are detained in the capillaries nearby because of pathological changes in the capillary tissues and abnormal pressure. These blood vessels gather on the skin surface, affecting our appearance. As these expanded capillaries are on the skin surface, laser treatment could be used to treat it, with dye-laser treatment being the most common. Although dye-laser is able to deliver satisfying results, it often causes bruises when it is used to treat telangiectasia. IMAGIC Energy Beauty Therapy is able to provide you with a better solution. Capillary problems are difficult to cure; they should be treated in few sessions to achieve best results.
How to treat telangietasia of the face?
- Telangiectasia of the face affects one’s appearance greatly; intense pulse energy could be used to treat it.
- Red blood cells in the blood-vessel contain oxygenated hemoglobin. It is able to absorb the momentary energy surge in intense pulse energy, bringing the desired effect of breaking up coagulation. The treatment will leave a temporary pigmentation.
- Pulse energy treatment helps to clear telangiectasia. The skin becomes fair and luminous instantly.
