Laser Skin Rejuvenation(from £97) - - This technology uses slightly less invasive technology. It uses intense laser light, in the lower wavelengths that are absorbed selectively in the water molecules of the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin. This starts new collagen formation by stimulating the skin cells. Rejuvenation treatment has virtually no down time at all, and is well tolerated by most patients.
How do I prepare for skin rejuvenation (anti-ageing) treatment?Your skin should be thoroughly cleansed and dried, removing any makeup, creams, oils, topical anaesthetics or self-tanning products before laser treatment. The intended treatment area should not be exposed to sunlight or tanning booth light for 7 days prior to treatment. Treatment is repeated every 4 weeks.
How does the skin rejuvenation (anti-ageing) treatment work?The laser creates a beam of high-intensity light that deeply penetrates the skin tissue, causing a 'zone' of heat. This stimulates collagen and results in tighter, more youthful looking skin. See the Laser Tightening Science below for more a more detailed explanation.
How many treatment sessions will I need?The number of sessions is approximately 6 or less but this depends on the area being treated and the condition of your skin. Many factors impact the efficacy of individual laser treatments, including the severity of the condition being treated. We incorporate a course of MDA microdermabrasion to ensure that the laser penetrates effectively. You will notice a marked improvement following even the first treatment, depending on the condition of your skin beforehand.
Are there side effects?Side effects are uncommon, but may include redness, swelling, skin lightening or darkening and (rarely) blistering, in the treated area, which seldom last for more than a few days. Permanent side effects are very rare; men may experience hair loss in the treated area.
Laser Skin Tightening(from £399) - Laser skin tightening uses a revolutionary new type of laser technology. It produces tiny dots of thermal damage (thermolysis), leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This allows the healthy tissue to promote and accelerate the healing of the damaged tissue. As the damaged skin heals, extra collagen is produced within the cones of thermolysis. The before and after pictures are phenomenal - have a look.
