The Extraction IPL Treatment Used Rejuventation Skin, Rosacea, And Tattoo Removal

The British government has decided that from 1 October treatments, "cosmetic" use of lasers and IPL, no longer need to be regulated and therefore do not need to be with the quality of care of the Commission (CQC), and must pay VAT.

The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (a nonprofit organization) has condemned the Department of Health (DOH) proposals to deregulate laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technologies that are used for "cosmetic" (non-medical) Purposes . Most experienced professionals disapprove of the complete elimination of regulation to those who are not "professionals" and not treat "disease, disorder or injury."

Simply put, health professionals who are educated and belong to clubs and use the IPL rosacea and other diseases are both experienced and regulated, but "health professionals are considered not to provide medical care and therefore can not use the same equipment tattoo removal and skin rejuvenation (non-medical applications) without regulation.

Read more cynical person might say that this deregulation allows value added tax is levied on the IPL fast-growing and light laser tattoo removal, hair removal and alternatives to invasive surgery.

No healthcare professionals are not considered to provide medical treatment and can not use the same equipment for tattoo removal and skin rejuvenation when you consider that for purely cosmetic and not a medical condition. One could argue that any form of skin rejuvenation is the treatment of skin aging due to sun damage or injury or UV rays and therefore no health professional should not provide this treatment, but it is difficult to know that in is actually responsible for regulating this type of laser treatments and light.

IPL can treat rosacea, and to remove unsightly thread veins and birthmarks. This powerful technique can also remove unwanted hair of the body and reduce scarring and stretch marks, and so has become very common non-surgical medical procedure.

IPL treatment (right hand) was a great success, however, after deregulation, we can now expect to hear horror stories about agents who have insufficient training and lack of experience they have invested in this material in the hope of "making money". When salons could buy the equipment before tanning regulations, thousands of people have been injured. Now expected to salons in search of "profit" to try their luck in the IPL and laser treatments.

In September 2010 British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) expressed concern about several patients who need corrective treatment for 'botched laser therapy. " Before deregulation, the "practice" had to register with the governing body for the quality of care from the Commission (CQC) and follow strict guidelines, but now "everyone can buy a laser for cosmetic use. "

If a history of: -

A lady of 38 years spent in hair removal. On his third visit, she said she had stretch marks, and the therapist has the same equipment could be treated so well. The lady had a treatment for stretch marks and so had to go to A & E because of blisters, the doctors said she had "third degree burns" the therapist had used the wrong settings. The settings for hair removal is not the same as for the removal by stretch marks!

There are an estimated 1000 unlicensed practitioners operating in Britain, and last year (2009), there were nearly 4,000 reports of adverse effects of treatment with laser / light, deregulation will result in a increase in the number of people who suffer. In addition to burns, the use of the IPL from an inexperienced person, cause permanent changes in pigmentation. If glasses are not worn correctly, there may be retinal damage and blindness.

IPL uses different frequencies of light to guide the different tissues of the skin or skin diseases. A short wavelength affect the red thread veins, a longer wavelength (more likely to cause burns) is used for hair removal. The two are completely separate and should not be mixed or may cause incalculable harm. Understanding this and the correct management is a highly specialized procedure, always use a health professional with experience.

Other factors, a beauty salon can not enjoy:

A wide range of drugs can affect the response of the skin to light treatments include St. John's wort, which makes the skin more sensitive and therefore more susceptible to damage, antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs such as aspirin can cause excessive bruising diabetes and certain medications also increase sensitivity.
