As part of our commitment to women’s healthcare we now offer a variety of Aesthetic/Cosmetic enhancement
procedures using the McCue Energist Ultra Variable Pulsed Light system (VPL). The VPL is one of the most recent
advancements for virtually PAINLESS permanent hair removal. In addition, with this we can treat a variety of other
skin abnormalities: SUN-DAMAGED SKIN, THREAD VEINS, STRETCH MARKS, ANGIOMAS AND MORE.
Goal - Destroy the hair follicle and achieve 'hair free'. Laser and Pulsed Light are both Light based ways to do hair reduction. These
Light based treatments only work on hair that is in the active growing, or Anagen, phase. At any given time, only about 25% of the hair
on our body is in the appropriate stage (phase) for treatment. The other 75% cannot be affected by light treatments. That is why it is
necessary to perform multiple treatments with Laser and with Pulsed Light.
HAIR REMOVAL
How - Traditional Laser and Intense Pulsed Light systems convert light energy into heat. The Melanin in hair absorbs more of the heat
than the surrounding skin tissue. The heat transfers down the hair shaft, and if the temperature at the base of the hair shaft reaches
70° C, the follicle will be destroyed - no more hair!
VPL™ takes this process a step further. By changing the number of pulses in each 'shot', the length of the individual pulses, and most
importantly the space, or Delay, between each pulse, the ULTRA can more specifically target different color hairs on different skin
types.
The ULTRA VPL™ is the most versatile (and effective) hair removal system that you can buy!

Shave the area to be treated.
Apply a thin layer of gel to the area. This gel acts as a 'coupler' which intensifies the light, and makes a great guide for the area to be
treated.
SKIN TREATMENTS USING VPL SYSTEMS
The concept of using Intense Pulse Light sources for the treatment of many skin conditions associated with the aging process is
currently receiving considerable interest within the professional beauty industry and the general public. There exists today a rapidly
growing demand for addressing the signs of aging with safe simple techniques. Until the recent introduction of Intense Pulsed Light
(IPLT) and more recently Variable Pulsed Light (VPL™) treatment (initially, successfully developed for hair depilation), the only available
treatments included surgery, chemical peeling, ablative and non-ablative resurfacing, microdermabrasion and various visible light and
near IR laser treatments.
VPL skin treatment is a process that has many advantages over other treatment modalities as it effectively treats a combination of
changes in the skin, from the signs of ageing, over exposure to the sun, broken facial capillaries, pigmentary abnormalities and
cosmetic imperfections.
Sun Damaged Skin
Sun damaged skin occurs as the result of excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, which induces epidermal and dermal changes.
Skin affected in this way is characterised by thinning of the epidermis and dermis, coarse skin texture, wrinkling, Telangiectasias and
changes in pigmentation.
The overall appearance of sun-damaged skin relates to the resultant UV damage of structural components such as collagen and elastin
fibres. Appearance is also affected by genetic factors, intrinsic factors, disease process such as Rosacea, and the overall loss of
3
cutaneous elasticity associated with age. More people now have extended periods of sun exposure and, coupled with the thinning of
the ozone layer and other factors, this has resulted in visible signs of ageing, damage and disease evident in ever-younger people.
People in their twenties and thirties are now witnessing solar elastosis, Telangiectasia, solar lentigines and rhytide formation.
Treatment Process
The McCue ULTRA VPL™ System is suitable for full face, neck, chest and hands treatment to improve the visible signs of sun damage
and ageing.
The treatment of sun-damaged skin includes treating both benign pigmented and vascular lesions. Exposure to UV light destroys skin
cells thereby slowing down the growth of new skin and the production of collagen. The increase in blood flow as a result of the
treatment to the region will also bring fresh supplies of oxygen and nutrients to the cells, which will assist in the removal of waste. By
traumatizing the epidermis and dermis the skin will also be encouraged to go into 'repair mode' increasing cell turnover
***Other treatments using the McCue ULTRA VPL™ include the following:
The treatment of benign pigmented epidermal and cutaneous lesions including warts, scars, chloasma, and striae.
The treatment of benign cutaneous vascular lesions including port wine stains, Hemangiomas, facial, truncal and leg
telangiectasias, Rosacea, melasma, angiomas and spider angiomas, poikiloderma of Civatte, leg veins, facial veins and
venous malformations
Benign Pigmentation Treatment
Benign pigmented conditions are caused by the melanocytes having an irregular production of melanin. The treatment involves the
'disabling' of rogue melanocytes by directing energy of the correct fluency and wavelength to these over-producing melanocytes, which
automatically absorb more energy than normal melanocytes because of their darker color. Following treatment the production of
melanin will become normal and the skin will return to its ambient color. Energy fluency settings sufficient to cause erythema in the
ambient skin areas are usually sufficient to disable those melanocytes in the darker skin pigmentation.
Number of treatment sessions required
Generally, between four to six treatment sessions are required, although it depends upon the treatment type and the area being
treated. A good 'rule-of-thumb' is to assume one treatment for each decade of a person's life. The number of treatment sessions may
increase when treating darker skin types. Normally, these treatment sessions are carried out at three week intervals.

Number of treatment sessions required
Hair Removal
Generally, between three to six treatment sessions are required, although it depends upon the area being
treated. The aim of each treatment is to reduce the hair density successively to a level that is satisfactory to the
client.
The number of treatment sessions may increase when treating darker skin or lighter hairs since the percentage of
hair removed during each treatment will be reduced in these instances.
Period between successive treatments
Due to the cyclical nature of hair growth, a number of treatments are required in order to ensure that treatment
covers the growth stage of all follicles. It is only during the growth stage, with the hair present, that the
follicles can be successfully treated.
It is recommended that each treatment be performed once when the next phase of hair has grown through, this
time period varies depending on the area of the body and on the individual. For example, the hair on the upper lip
has a growth cycle of approximately 6 weeks, whereas the growth cycle for leg hair is about 24 weeks, so it may
not be necessary for a Client to return for a second treatment on their legs until about 8 weeks later. Since growth
cycles can vary significantly between individuals, a good indication of the period between successive treatments
can be obtained from the Clients themselves. When the Client considers that they have a full re-growth of hair then
it is most probably time for the next treatment.
Note: At the start of each subsequent treatment the same safety steps that are recommended for the
first treatment should be completed. To ensure that subsequent treatments produce favourable
results,
the Client must inform the Operator if any pigmentary changes have occurred.
If so
then these should be assessed individually, but generally an increase in the amount of melanin in the
skin would indicate that a lower energy should be used.
What to Expect After Treatment
The immediate after effect is that the treated area should become slightly red, particularly around the hair.
Typically, this redness will disappear in a matter of a few hours at most (and often in just a few minutes) with the
skin then returning to its normal color. The hair will still be in place in the follicle since the treatment, unlike laser,
is not a vaporizing process.
During the next ten days or so the hair will appear to continue growing, albeit more slowly than before. What
actually is happening is that the hair is no longer supported by the follicle but is being pushed out by the growth of
the epidermix which is still in close contact with the hair shaft. If left alone, the treated hairs will fall out naturally
after a period of between one and three weeks, dependent on the depth of the hair root. The hair is acting as an
effective barrier to infectioin of the inflamed follicle, and so they should not be removed prematurely.
After Care
5
Immediately following the treatment session, or at regular intervals in the case of treatment of large areas,
soothing gel should be applied to the treated area. Recommended gels include Witch Hazel, Tea Tree or Aloe Vera.
These gels have the effect of cooling the area and generally include antiseptic properties to protect the damaged
follicle against opportunistic infections.
The Client should be advised to refrain from using cosmetic make-up, perfumed soaps and similar products for
about 24 hours following treatment. Also, exposure to the sun should be avoided for about one month unless a
high factor sun block is used as a precaution against exacerbating any pigmentary changes which may not be
immediately evident.

Photosensitivity
There are many forms of medication and products available that can cause the skin to become sensitive to
light. These drugs can be taken by mouth or applied to the skin, therefore it is important to ascertain
whether the client is currently using these products or undergoing a course of medication.
When receiving a light based treatment, a reaction can sometimes occur, with varying degrees of severity.
This varies greatly from client to client and ranges from no noticeable reaction through to blisters and
severe skin responses. This reaction is called “Drug-Induced Photosensitivity” and can be divided into two
groups:
Photo-toxic Reactions: these are dose related and can be seen to slight degree in people who are
exposed to sunlight.
Photo-allergic Reactions: these involve the immune system and may be similar to other allergic
reactions such as swelling, rashes and hives.
It is due to these reactions that it is advisable to ensure test patches are
performed to determine if any adverse reaction occurs.
Common Drugs that can cause photosensitive reactions:
Use of these drugs does not exclude a patient from treatment but a test patch should
Be performed and patient should sign a release:
