Understanding why facial skin sag
Skin that is loose and saggy can be attributed to poor underlying muscle strength and tone. There is a direct relationship between improved skin elasticity and measured muscle strength. As facial muscles become stronger, they tend to shorten and flatten, causing the attached facial tissue to become firmer and more elastic. If you were to look under the layers of facial tissue, you would see bundles of thin threads. These threaded bundles of muscle are attached to skeletal frame on one end and integrate themselves into the facial tissue along their entire length. This support system is what holds the entire facial skeletal structure together and is what makes you look like you. When person reaches the age of 32 or so, this support system begins to lose its tone. When this occurs, the muscle groups sag and they take the connective tissue with them. Dermatologists tell us that sagging cannot be corrected with creams or lotions alone. Cleansers, creams and lotions are effective for two functions - exfoliate and hydrate. The skin needs improved cellular and tissue condition to lift.
The cell is the basic component of all living things and cells work ceaselessly to nourish, repair, and renew themselves. This ongoing activity, called "cell metabolism", requires energy which is provided by a substance created within the cell called ATP (adenosine-triphosphate).
Cell metabolism generates wastes that the body must expel. As well as eliminating these worn-out or dead cells, the body also needs to get rid of indigestible or partially digested foods, chemicals taken in from water, cigarette smoking, alcohol, caffeine, environment impurities and medications.
When waste products build up in the body, they impede micro-circulation to cells and tissues which, in turn, slows cellular activity and reduces waste elimination from the cells substantially. This vicious cycle continues and can eventually lead to very serious health problems and, in severe cases, even death.
Waste that is not removed from the body lodges itself everywhere, and one of the most noticeable symptoms of slow cellular activity is the build up of fat and eventually lumpy cellulite forms. Cell energy is the most important factor in the battle against the bulge!

One of the key mechanisms within the cell that eliminates the waste is the "Sodium- Potassium Pump". This pumping action causes each cell to produce a minute amount of electricity which can be measured in micro-amps (a millionth of an amp).When a cell does not function properly it does not generate sufficient electricity for the pump to work - a bit like a torch battery that only has enough energy to make the bulb glow rather than give off a bright beam of light!

BeautyTek and Invigor8: The Intelligent Solution
BeautyTek is at the cutting edge of medical technology and the only system in the world that uses a complex system of Artificial Intelligence, micro-current and bio-feedback to read the energy levels within the body's cells. This measuring and analysis takes place at the rate of 100's of times every second. Invigor8 Skin and Body Centre is the only skin care clinic that has the latest BeautyTek system in Western Australia with the Cell Genesis functionality.
The constant communication between the body and BeautyTek enables the system to calculate the shortfall in energy within the cell. It then delivers the exact level of micro-current needed to make up the difference. In effect, it 'jump-starts' the cell by giving it the exact amount of energy needed to start functioning at the correct level. It should be stressed that the levels of current required are so small that they cannot be felt.
BeautyTek enables the body to start to metabolise fats, eliminate waste and detoxify. What's more, once the body has been 'recharged' by a course of treatments it is able to continue to work at the correct rate, thereby reducing the possibility of fat and cellulite returning.
BeautyTek is the only machine able to do this and not only represents an amazing breakthrough in the battle against the bulge, but for the first time provides a really effective alternative to cosmetic surgery! No pain... no downtime... no bruising... no scars... no high expenses while giving amazing results.

Treatments Avaialble at Invigor8 Skin and Body Centre
Fat Reduction
BeautyTek is an exceptional treatment when applied to excess fatty deposits around the body. It encourages the transfer of fat out of the fat cells so that it can be burned as energy. When toxins and free radicals build up in the system the body produces hard collagen around the damaged cells. As a result, fat cannot be released into the blood stream and sits stubbornly in those familiar areas; love handles, lower abdomen, upper arms and inner thighs. Our highly trained Paramedical Skin Technicians can help you address these problem areas.
Using gentle micro-currents that are regulated by your own body's energy, BeautyTek can encourage the breakdown of these collagen fibres and free the fat out of the cells. Additionally, the skin and underlying tissue is also firmed, improving the shape of your face and/or body. With BeautyTek you can lose inches from those stubborn areas without resorting to special eating plans, radical exercise regimes or the surgeon's knife!
Cellulite Treatment
Cellulite develops in the most superficial layer of the three fat layers, underneath the epidermis and dermis. Fat storage and metabolism in this fat layer are primarily regulated by hormones and are affected very little by diet and exercise.
In order to remove cellulite, the collagen fibres surrounding the cells need to be broken down; connective tissues need to be softened; and strengthened and proper drainage in the tissue needs to be restored. BeautyTek is the only beauty treatment on the market that can do all of these things and enables the body to keep doing all of these things by itself.
In addition, the very low frequency micro-current used by BeautyTek is regulated by your own body, so there are no side effects and no possibility of injury. Existing cellulite is broken down and the body's energy is increased to sustain the results for a much longer period of time.
With a course of treatments and regular top-up treatments at Invigor8 Skin and Body Centre, BeautyTek can help rid you of cellulite for good.
Breast Reduction
Many women considering breast reduction are put off by the thought of permanent scaring, but with BeautyTek there is no need to reach for the surgeon's knife anymore. You can have beautiful breasts again without resorting to painful, invasive surgery.
As breasts are largely composed of fat, targeting and breaking down this fatty tissue will achieve a reduction in size. BeautyTek also helps the skin tighten ensuring that the skin shrinks as the fat is broken down so you are left with taut, firm breasts.
Breast Enhancement
BeautyTek shows exceptional results for breast firming and lifting. Clients can expect to see an overall firmness in the skin, a lift in the breast, improvement in skin tone and texture and excess fat and fluid being drained from the breast. It also increases blood flow through the breast tissue and increases the tone of the pectoral muscle.
A full course of treatments will firm, lift and enhance the contour of the breast. Breast treatments continue to improve after the course of treatment has been completed.
Skin Firming
BeautyTek is an exceptional treatment when applied to loose skin around the body. The skin and underlying tissue is firmed, improving the shape of the client and making them look slimmer.
All BeautyTek treatments have an element of skin firming in them, which is why the overall silhouette is improved with all body treatments.
Face Lifting and Rejuvenation
BeautyTek can tackle all aspects of ageing in the face and give you back your youth. BeautyTek combats wrinkles, scars, under eye shadows, excess skin, and sagging muscle tone.
The energy supplied by BeautyTek stimulates the circulatory system, resulting immediately in fresher looking skin. Gradually, lines and wrinkles are smoothed and sagging jowls are tightened, leaving you with a younger looking face that will be commented on! Facial muscles will become permanently more toned, resulting in a surgery-free facelift. As toxins are released from the system, as well as a reduction in pore size, dark circles gradually lessen and the skin cells become brighter.
BeautyTek is highly effective for facial rejuvenation. Clients can expect to see an overall firmness in the skin, a lift in facial muscle, improvement in skin tone and texture and excess fat and fluid being removed from the face. Fine lines are smoothed away and deeper lines become softer. Facial treatments in particular continue to improve after the course of treatment has been completed.
Acne, Scarring and Stretch Marks
By rebalancing the cells ions BeautyTek increases energy flow, enhances metabolism and blood flow and stimulates the lymphatic system, thus increasing the body's capability for self-repair, restoring health and well being and enabling the body to reshape itself.
As a consequence of this boost to the body's self-repair ability, BeautyTek has proven to be extremely effective in treating many skin related conditions such as Acne, reducing scar visibility and stretch marks.

Beautytek treatments at Invigor8 Skin and Body Centres defy time and gravity through regeneration, restoration and energizing of human tissue. Breast enhancement WITHOUT going under the knife!
No matter how carefully we look after our busts, there comes a time in a woman’s life when gravity starts taking its toll. Honestly, wouldn’t it be great to be able to do something to ‘stop the drop’? But if cosmetic surgery sounds too drastic, scary or downright expensive, a revolutionary alternative that really does lift and tone bossoms has just arrived in the Perth.
Called beautytek, the treatment is a non-invasive technique that combines modern technology and traditional medical theories of wellbeing – a radical departure from other similar sounding procedures. Quite simply, Beautytek works by supplying energy in the form of micro current to acupuncture points along the meridian lines of the body. As the stimulus is transferred to each specific area with the use of a hand-held wand, a computer using Artificial Intelligence diagnoses and monitors the body’s reaction so that the treatment is constantly adjusted to achieve energetic equilibrium, precisely calibrated for each individual, each treatment. This has a compounding effect that builds on the benefits recieved from earlier treatments.
Beautytek is the ideal bust lift treatment– especially popular with post breast-feeding mothers and by women whose breast implants have begun to lose their form. Whilst the average length of treatment is 10 – 12 sessions, results can almost always been seen after the first treatment – breasts are usually lifted between one to two centimetres.

An effective and real alternative to cosmetic surgery
The advanced Beautytek system for face and body sculpting was devloped in Germany, and has been delivering remarkable, non-invasive results througout Europe since 2002. With over 700 Beautytek machines located in exclusive treatment centres in cities such as Milan, London, Rome, Berlin and North America, Australian can now experience the physical transfomation that only Beautytek can deliver, holistically and without the pain, downtime and high costs associated with surgery. Beautytek can tone, firm and lift problem areas such as the face, neck, breast, abdomen, top of arms, thighs and buttocks. Beautytek is also effective for reducing the appearance of cellulite, stretch marks and acne.
What sets Beautytek system appoart form other aesthetic machines?
The Beautytek system works as a "combination therapy", where it acts as a diagnostic instrument, combined with a therapy instrument. This ensures that you get the most optimum results possible. The working principle combines the wisdom of traditonal medicine and the body's energy pathways (meridians), with the most advanced medical and computer technology. Beautytek is a holistic beauty system, based on bio-cybernetic principles, which was developed for regeneration, restoration and energizing of human tissue.
Beatytek transfers tailored micro currents at a rate of 900 times per second to specific treatment areas based on the body's condition. It boosts cellular rejuvenation and activate collagen production for a firmer, more youthful appearance. Each client receives a customised therapy session each visit which compounds benefits that resulted from the improvement of cell and tissue conditions from previous treatments. Better results as you get more treatements.
In other conventional slimming therapies such as ultrasound, electro-stimulation, TENS, iontophoresis, magnetic stimulation, micro currents or laser, the effectiveness of the treatment depends primarily on the skill of the operator. The pre-programmed Artificial Intelligence of the Beautytek computer supports and enhances the skill of the operator by providing diagnostics and delivering a customised micro current program. Beautytek is safer and delivers better results.
What is the mechanism for lifting?
Beautytek system work at the cellular and tissue level to rehabilitate muscles using resistive micro-contraction designed to strengthen and contour elected part of the body. This is a treatment concept successfully used for decades on postoperative complications and to speed up healing. The Beautytek treatment concept is employing sophisticated pre-programmed Artificial Intelligence that directs and supervises therapy, which results in stronger muscle tissue, smoother skin with healthier appearance. Other benefits with each treatment are increased tissue oxygen and blood supply while rehabilitating muscle tissue.
Beautytek by Medilab and its products are designed to work in concert to reach deep into the tissue, evaluate the requirements and then affect muscle tissue in precise manner.
How Beautytek by medilab helps to burn fat?
Beautytek differs from other cellulite reduction applications. While most cellulite treatments depend only on water regulation, Beautytek offers a local non-invasive treatment method.
In technical terms, Beautytek treatments are based on specific stimulus which has a physiological effect on the adipose cells, the connective tissue, the smooth fiber cells and the lymphatic ducts, while restoring the balance of the interstitial matrix. This highly specific stimulation produces local lipolysis, increased connective tissue health, improved blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, which advances intercellular detoxification. Further enhancement is achieved by applying beautytek cellulite jell CRM-CW64, which distinctly increases dilation of cutaneous and subcutaneous blood vessels and capillaries, by which it enables speedier area detoxification.
In other words, Beautytek system effectively melts the fat away and drains toxins into the lumphatic ducts. The results will amaze you.
What age group takes a beautytek treatment?
There is no age group distinction. Everybody who wants to improve his/her skin, e.g. in case of cellulite, for fat reduction and all kinds of damaged skin, caused by aging, sunburn, acne, allergies and scars can benefit. The younger client group are interested in fat reduction and body contouring. Recent mothers get fat reduction, scar reduction and breast lifting done. The older client group are keen on lifting sagging facial skin, upper arms, thighs, "saddle bags", buttocks and breasts. The reduction
How long does one treatment take?
A treatment typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the treated area and the specific problem. Improvements can often be clearly seen after only one treatment unit.
How long does the effect last?
The results are long-lasting depending on the resulting tissue improvements. Individual way of living, which influences the general physical condition, has a huge impact on the results. So, every effect depends on the ability of the body to keep the activated tissue balanced. Beatytek treatments that addressed specific problem areas combined with healthy life choices and regular exercise will give lasting enjoyment of life. In terms of fat reduction, the effects are as permanent as any method of reducing fat, including surgery. Provided a sensible eating and exercise plan is followed, the treatment effects are permanent. In terms of breast lifting, studies have shown the effects of a course of treatments without any maintenance sessions can last anything between three months to a year.
Is the beautytek treatment painful?
The Beautytek treatment does not cause any pain or discomfort.
How is the treatment being carried out?
While the client lies down in a comfortable position, the specialist uses an electrode and moves gently across the respective part of the body, following the instructions of the Beautytek system.
Does the specialist select the treatment method?
No. The treatment is being performed automatically, according to the instructions on the screen based on the diagnostic results of the tissue function and treatment purpose.
Does the beautytek treatment apply to everybody?
Yes, it does. This method can be applied for everybody. Contraindications are pregnancy or a cardiac pacemaker. Most cases show significantly improved skin after only one treatment unit.
How strong is the output value, coming from beautytek?
The beautytek signal corresponds with the „required“ power for the respective part of the body. The voltage is limited to 500 µV maximum.
How does it work?
A very low-frequency electrical impulse is passed into the body. As the stimulus is transferred to each specific area with the use of a variety of hand-held wands, the BeautyTek computer monitors the body's reaction so that the treatment is constantly adjusted to achieve energetic equilibrium, precisely calibrated for each individual at that point in time.
In more detail:
- Energy of varying extremely low frequencies and wave forms is applied to the body through a conductive hand-held wand. A signal is returned from the body and analysed by the BeautyTek computer, which selects the appropriate wave form and frequency for the therapeutic current entering the treated area
- The computer continuously compares the therapeutic signal with the signal being returned from the body tissue. This signal carries information about the cell chemistry of each cell in the treated area
- The computer analyses this information to determine the quantitative discrepancy between the two signals, adapts the wave form and frequency of the therapeutic current and passes it back to the body tissue via the hand-held wand. This happens continuously throughout treatment and is called a "bio-cybernetic circuit"
- The treatment ends when the BeautyTek computer calculates that a physiological and energetic equilibrium has been achieved in the treated tissue
What happens to the treated area?
The energy transmitted into the tissue acts as a stimulus for a variety of body functions:
- The body's energy levels are increased
- Water and toxins stored in the cells are redistributed to the lymphatic pathways, which are stimulated to "flush" the waste products from the body
- The water balance is readjusted and regulated
- Fatty tissue is dehydrated
- Fatty clusters are decomposed
- Blood vessels are opened to increase blood flow (perfusion), oxygen levels in the blood and nutrients delivered to the tissue
- The ion grid is re-established (ions are electrically charged particles responsible for a variety of chemical and electrical reactions in the body)
- Active ingredients in the electrolyte gel are selectively absorbed into the body (this is called iontophoresis) as required
How soon will I see results?
Whilst results can be seen after a single treatment, a series of twelve treatments will typically show dramatic results.
How many treatments will I need?
It is difficult to specify how many treatments a person will need, because the speed at which the body responds differs from person to person. However, we recommend that an initial course of 12 treatments is undertaken to optimise the result. Your experienced therapist will assess your individual needs at consultation.
How often do I need treatments?
For optimal results we recommend two treatments a week, with at least one whole day in between (e.g. treatment on a Monday may then be followed on a Wednesday)
Can I have more than one area treated at a time?
Yes. Treating two adjacent areas at the same time can have significant benefits. It is, however, often the case that treatment on one area will have positive benefits on other areas (e.g. breast treatments frequently produce an improvement in the waistline).
What can I expect during a treatment?
You will attend an initial consultation, during which your therapist will examine the area you wish to have treated to determine the most effective treatment plan for you. Your therapist will discuss with you what to expect during your first treatment and go through the treatment schedule.
Before you have your first treatment, the therapist will take a series of digital photographs of the area being treated. You will then be asked to lie on a therapy couch and given a conductor to hold. The therapist will then wash the treatment area to remove any body creams that could affect the treatment. A specially formulated electrolyte gel will be applied to the treated area and the BeautyTek machine will guide the therapist through the treatment using images and instructions displayed on the monitor. The computer calculates when each treatment step is completed and automatically moves to the next step.
The therapist will take a second set of digital photographs after your first treatment and then after every sixth treatment. You will be able to see any changes throughout your course as the comparative photographs are displayed side by side on the BeautyTek screen.
Are there any side effects?
The most significant benefit of BeautyTek is that it achieves dramatic results comparable with invasive surgery but without the associated risks and side effects. BeautyTek treatments are conducted on the skin so no uncomfortable recovery period is required and no side effects have been reported.
During and after treatment you may feel the urge to go to the toilet frequently. This is perfectly normal and indicates that the treatment is having a desired effect.
Will I feel any pain or discomfort?
No. BeautyTek treatment is pleasant to undergo and completely painless. Some clients feel a slight tingling sensation at particular points in their treatment as the current passes through the wand. Clients undergoing facial treatments may experience a metallic taste in their mouth if they have any fillings.
BeautyTek treatment will feel as though you have had a light massage and many clients have reported feelings of increased well-being and energy after their BeautyTek session.
Do I need to diet/exercise?
BeautyTek is effective without the need for strict diets or exercise plans. However, we do recommend that clients increase their intake of fresh fruit and vegetables, reduce the level of saturated fats in their diet and try to get 30 minutes of exercise a day. We ask all our clients to drink at least two litres of water a day, to keep the body properly hydrated and help the client get the best result possible from their treatment.
Under what circumstances would I not be able to have the treatment?
There are a few medical and physical conditions where BeautyTek treatment will not be administered. Pregnant and breastfeeding women, clients wearing a pacemaker, suffering from epilepsy or cancer will not be treated. Clients with large metal implants such as artificial hips cannot be treated in the area of the prosthesis, but it does not negate treatment of other areas. If you are feeling unwell, the energy levels in your body will be low, so you may not get the most out of your treatment. Your therapist will discuss any medication you are taking.
I have breast implants. Can I still have BeautyTek treatment?
Yes. BeautyTek is very beneficial to clients who have breast implants that have lost their shape.
