Laser Rejuvenation treatments are a new and revolutionary technique that uses Lasers to reduce the effects of ageing on the skin. The technique is particularly effective on the skin of the face and neck but can be used on any area of skin. Laser Rejuvenation treatments improve the complexion of the skin as well as stimulate the skin to become healthier and more resilient. The skin is treated with two lasers.
The first laser called NdYAG emits light in the infrared spectrum and stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. The second laser called KTP emits green light which reduces capillaries and pigmentation.
What is the difference between Laser treatments and other treatments?
There are other treatments that will achieve similar results to Laser Rejuvenation treatments. The best known of these other therapies is IPL. The greatest advantage of laser Rejuvenation Treatments is the speed with which results are achieved.
How are Laser Rejuvenation treatments performed?
The area to be treated is washed with cool water to remove surface dirt and makeup. Water-based gel is applied to the skin. Eye protection is applied. The Lasers are used in a systematic sequence to treat the different layers of the skin. At the end of the treatment, the gel is wiped off, the skin is washed again with cool water and dab-dried with a soft paper towel. A moisturiser is applied to the treatment area.
How long will my Laser Rejuvenation treatment take?
Treatments take about 30 to 45 minutes.
When will I see the result of my Laser Rejuvenation treatment?
Immediately after treatment, the lasered areas of skin will be red and inflamed. The redness will begin to settle within minutes of the end of the treatment. Most patients find that the treated skin will settle completely overnight and normal skin care and makeup can be applied the next day.
How often will I require Laser Rejuvenation treatments?
Most patients have two treatments initially separated by three months. Maintenance treatments will be required every 6 to 12 months.
