Every treatment we offer works at a precise depth. Tap a layer or a numbered point on the plate to see what lives there, what can go wrong, and which treatment is built to reach it — the same map our students learn from.
Use the layer buttons to isolate one layer, or the numbered points for a close-up. Keyboard: Tab to a point, Enter to open.
Skin is the body’s largest organ. The epidermis is the thin shield you see; the dermis underneath holds collagen, elastin, follicles, glands and vessels; the hypodermis is the cushion of fat below. Lasers, IPL, needles and radiofrequency are each tuned to a target and a depth — that is the whole art of choosing the right treatment.
Tap any numbered point to begin.
Five cell layers, about 0.1 mm thick, renew every 28–40 days. Keratinocytes rise from the base, flatten and form the stratum corneum — the waterproof brick-and-mortar barrier that keeps water in and irritants out.
Melanocytes sit at the base of the epidermis and hand melanin to surrounding cells. Melanin is your natural sunscreen and the reason skin tones differ — and the reason laser settings must respect your Fitzpatrick type.
The follicle is a tunnel through the dermis; the bulb at its base makes the hair. Its melanin absorbs laser light, converts it to heat and disables the growth cells — which only works while the hair is in its active growth phase, hence multiple sessions.
Attached to each follicle, the sebaceous gland produces sebum that waterproofs hair and skin. Hormones control its output.
Fibroblasts weave collagen (strength) and elastin (recoil) into the dermis. From the mid-twenties we lose roughly 1% of collagen a year; sun and smoking accelerate it. Controlled micro-injury signals fibroblasts to rebuild.
Capillary loops rise into the papillae to feed the epidermis, which has no vessels of its own. They flush with heat, emotion and inflammation and carry nutrients to healing tissue.
Coiled deep in the dermis, eccrine glands cool the body through a duct that opens at the surface. They are not a laser target — but they explain why skin must be clean and cool before treatment.
Lobules of fat held in a web of fibrous septa: insulation, shock absorption and the volume that keeps a face looking youthful. Lymph vessels run through it carrying fluid and waste.
A peel works on the top 0.1 mm; IPL and lasers aim at pigment and follicles; needles and RF rebuild the dermis at 0.5–3.5 mm; EMS reaches the muscle. Matching target to depth is the first thing we check in your free consultation.
Darker skin carries more melanin everywhere, so wavelengths and energy are chosen to protect the epidermis (Nd:YAG for hair, PICO for pigment). The Fitzpatrick scale guides every setting.
Hair grows in phases, collagen takes 4–12 weeks to remodel, the epidermis renews monthly. That is why packages of 4–8 sessions outperform single visits.
