Non-ablative laser skin revitalisation is one of the more recent techniques developed to combat the signs of ageing. Using lasers, light sources or LED (Light Emitting Diode) devices to revitalise skin to help give it a youthful appearance by promoting collagen production through a thermal effect. Lasers can improve the appearance of acne scars by stimulating wound healing. Light passes harmlessly through the upper layers of your skin stimulating the cells deep below the surface to produce natural collagen. The collagen and elastin fibers will continue to multiply after your treatment. Hence, you will continue to see improved results as the months pass. With this treatment, your skin is not subjected to harsh chemicals or intense after-care that is associated with other facial revitalisation treatments. Laser skin revitalisation protects the sensitive surface layers of your skin, allowing the laser light to penetrate to deeper levels to stimulate collagen growth.

Laser hair removal involves the use of special lasers to remove excessive or unwanted hair from all parts of the body, including the face, limbs, underarms, bikini line and back. Unlike temporary methods of hair removal such as shaving and waxing, laser hair removal not only gets rid of the hair shafts, it also causes destruction of the hair follicles and its roots. It is important for our consultant dermatologist to assess your skin type before deciding on the appropriate laser to use, in order to achieve the best results and avoid unwanted side effects. This is because different skin types respond differently to different lasers. On average, 5 to 8 treatments may be needed to achieve significant hair reduction. The number of treatments depends on hair thickness, the area treated and the hair’s growth cycle. The effects usually last for up to 2 years. However, subsequent hair growth will be much finer in texture and lighter in colour.
