HOW IT WORKS
As we age, skin becomes thinner, less hydrated with fine lines and wrinkles.
This is often complicated by an uneven skin tone which is caused by an accumulation of pigment in the skin and broken facial veins (telangiectasia).
Laser skin rejuvenation is the perfect treatment to address these concerns and to leave the skin fresh and rejuvenated.
THE PROCEDURE
Skin is cleansed with a suitable antiseptic and moisturised prior to the procedure.
You will be wearing specialist goggles to protect your eyes. A laser beam will be passed over the treated area a few times.
In some cases, cooling with very cold air will be added for maximum comfort. Immediately after the procedure, you will receive a complimentary LED light treatment for its antibacterial and
healing properties.
RESULTS
Immediately after the laser procedure, you may experience mild redness, swelling, possibly a burning sensation and darkening or disappearance of blood vessels.
Carefully applied selected fillers can treat all of these conditions.
