The BYONIK® – Pulse Triggered Laser is the world’s only system that repairs skin at a cellular level and locks in hydration at the same time.
How Does BYONIK work?
There are many ways in which Byonik helps the skin using both the power of laser light and light-induced osmosis (water passing into your cells) improving the appearance, health and hydration of your skin….
1: Near Infra-Red Laser
This aspect of the treatment regenerates your skin cells, detoxifies your skin, improves your microcirculation which improves nutrient flow and strengthens your skin and improves lymphatic drainage to decongest your skin, reduce puffiness and improve your general skin health.
2: Red Laser Light
This aspect of the treatment improves inflammatory-ageing (skin ageing resulting from inflammation) improves general skin inflammation such as that associated with rosacea, supports wound healing, is anti-bacterial and reduces skin redness.
3: The laser energy is delivered directly to the skin cell with each beat of your heart. This is important because your skin cells have been shown to be more receptive to the osmosis process just before your heart beats. This technology, developed in conjunction with NASA scientists, means that your cells absorb the hyaluronic acid and antioxidants used during the treatment like a sponge, resulting in deeply hydrated, healthy and plump skin cells!
4: Protects Telomeres
Telomeres are the end parts of our DNA – their role is to protect the cell. Time and other factors such as stress, shorten your telomeres and eventually, the cell dies as a result. Each time a skin cell dies it can contribute to our skin ageing and wrinkles, skin laxity and other signs of ageing. The Byonik treatment protects and preserves your telomeres, prolonging the life of, and improving the health of your skin cells. The result – A renewed youthful-look and healthy skin, for longer!
5: Releases Elastin Fibres.
Elastin plays a major role in your skin’s tightness. As time passes, salts, fats, amino acids and calcium accumulate around the elastin fibres, tethering them. This means that their ability to create tension and tightness in the skin is reduced resulting in wrinkling and lack-lustre, sagging skin. The Byonik laser energy releases your elastin fibres, causing a bio-lifting effect in the treated skin.
6: Hyaluronic acid
Also known as “the key to the fountain of youth” Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is produced naturally by your body and fixes the moisture, plumpness, structure and elasticity of your skin. At around the age of 40, your skin contains only 60% of your original HA levels and only 10% when you’re around 60! The degradation of your HA levels is one of the key players of invisible skin ageing.
During your treatment, the Byonik technology allows the HA molecules to pass directly into your skin cells, not just around them. This deeply hydrates your skin and helps to support healthy, youthful cell function and improve collagen production. The ability to pass into, and not to just surround the skin cell is something only a very few select molecules can do, like the molecules in some topical medication.
Telomeres form the ends of our chromosomes – you can picture them as being like the ends of shoelaces (they become frayed once we get older). Every time a cell divides the telomeres become shorter and shorter until they are gone. Most cells can replicate approximately 50 times before the telomeres become too short.
At this point the cell simply ages and is no longer able to replicate. Some researchers believe that telomeres are the “secret to longevity”. Any invasive / ablative or traumatising treatments force the skin cells to divide to form new ones, thus shortening the telomeres. In the short term this results in better looking skin but ultimately is pro-aging. On the other hand, the BYONIK® treatment protects the telomeres, slows down the aging process and is therefore considered to be “true anti-aging”.
The BYONIK® laser combines two wavelengths, 658nm and 806nm, for a non-invasive and non-ablative treatment to the skin. Whilst red light 658nm helps boost collagen generation[2] and is antibacterial[1], near-infrared light 806nm enhances the detoxification of collagen and elastic fibres[3] as well as enhancing the metabolism of the epidermal cells. The BYONIK® Pulse-Triggered-Laser adjusts its frequency to each individual person’s pulse during the entire treatment and therefore allows maximal antioxidant absorption from the HA Gel into the epidermal cells.
With this laser technology working at a cellular level, cell metabolism is stimulated, telomeres are protected and vital cellular function is improved. Dermal and epidermal cells literally become more “youthful” with this cellular rejuvenation process, reversing the visible signs of ageing.
