Laser Treatments
Targeted light energy for pigment, redness and resurfacing.
Overview
Laser and light devices target specific chromophores in the skin. Device choice depends on the concern and skin type.
What it treats
Pigmentation, sun damage, redness, vessels, scarring and skin laxity.
How it works
Selective photothermolysis delivers energy to a target such as melanin or haemoglobin while sparing surrounding tissue.
Who it suits
People with pigmentation or vascular concerns after a proper skin-type assessment.
What happens on the day
Patch test, eye protection, calibrated passes across the treatment area, then cooling and SPF.
Recovery
Ranges from none to one week depending on device and depth.
Results to expect
Clearer, more even skin over one to four sessions, with maintenance depending on the concern.
Risks and considerations
Burns, pigment change and scarring if settings are not matched to skin type — specialist assessment is essential.
