Radiancy’s unique LHE Technology, utilizing the combined energy of Light and Heat, enables treatment of pigmented and vascular lesions, skin aging effects and fine lines and wrinkles quickly, efficiently and safely.
Noticeable improvement in pigmented and vascular lesions, skin complexion, and fine lines and wrinkles after just a few treatments.
It might be impossible to remove a lesion forever or get permanent results.
Some mild swelling or bruising may occur. Swelling is more common in patients with very red or pink toned skin that are having treatments to reduce redness. Bruising may occur if many large facial blood vessels are being treated. Although rare, blistering or slight bleeding is possible as is hypo- or hyper-pigmentation (lightened or darkened areas of skin). If pigmentation problems occur, it may be anywhere from 3 to 12 months before normal skin tone returns. This is especially so with hypo-pigmentation (lack of colour). Some patients may experience permanent skin pigmentation changes.
You can return to work the same day and resume all your daily activities.

Hair Reduction
Light based hair removal is based on the theory of selective photothermolysis. Selective photothermolysis involves using a high energy light source to target the melanin in the hair shaft, and then convert that light to heat inside the follicle. The heat then damages bulge and root responsible for producing hair.
Helps people with all types of hair and on most types of skin.
The majority of adverse effects are transient and minor
Virtually no side effects or discomfort
