Laser Skin Resurfacing

How does it work? This non ablative fractional technology uses microbeams of energy to create areas of affected tissue that extend through the epidermis into the dermis. This triggers the body’s natural healing process to create new, healthy collagen. What results can I expect? You will have an improvement in both tone and texture, resulting in younger looking skin. Treatment plans can be adjusted to fit everyone’s lifestyle – speak to your provider regarding desired downtime, comfort, and results. Best for: skin tightening and long-term anti-ageing

Laser skin resurfacing is the gold standard therapy for skin smoothing and tightening. This non ablative fractional technology uses microbeams of energy to create areas of affected tissue that extend through the epidermis into the dermis. This triggers the body’s natural healing process to create new, healthy collagen. Best for: facial anti-ageing and resurfacing What is Laser resurfacing? Laser skin resurfacing has long been established as a safe and effective treatment for acne scars, traumatic scars, pigmentation, sun damage, enlarged pores, fine lines, uneven skin texture and stretch-marks. The principle of skin resurfacing is to stimulate the skin’s natural healing process to replace damaged skin with fresh, healthy, new skin.

Laser Hyperpigmentation Treatment

What is Hyperpigmentation? The upper layers of the skin contain pigment cells called melanocytes. They produce pigment called melanin that is then distributed evenly throughout the epidermis to give the natural colouration of the skin. In response to trauma, inflammation, sun exposure, hormones and as a result of genetics, pigment can be over-produced and form ‘clumps’ that look like areas of darker discolouration or ‘hyperpigmentation’. There are a number of different types of hyperpigmentation; common types include: freckles, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, sun damage and melasma.  Laser is a safe and effective solution to treat hyperpigmentation. There are usually two types of lasers used in treating hyperpigmentation: ablative and non-ablative lasers. Ablative lasers are stronger, and they involve removing layers of your skin and rejuvenating the skin by resurfacing its upper layers, enabling new skin to form while simultaneously stimulating the development of collagen. Non-ablative procedures, on the other hand just target the dermis to stimulate collagen growth and produce tightening effects. They both work as they replenish the skin to the healthy condition and shatter pigment particles, effectively lightening areas of concern.

Chemical Peel

A chemical peel is a procedure where we put a chemical solution to the face to remove the top layers to reveal the young healthy skin underneath. These procedures typically use naturally occurring acids to exfoliate, brighten and smooth the skin. They are used to reduce or improve fine lines and wrinkles, acne, scars, pigmentation, and other skin imperfections. Depending on the damage, the strength of peels can vary from mild to intense to accommodate the condition of the skin.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses the patients own Platelets to accelerate the healing of the skin. Particularly for the skin, as platelets are fortified by vitamins, and when they are injected into the skin, they can stimulate skin repair, can tighten, thicken, plump the skin, improve skin tone and texture, reduce signs of aging and treat pigmentation, scars, and stretch-marks. They contain growth factors that can trigger cell-reproduction and stimulate tissue regeneration or healing in the treated area. PRP can also be enhanced with ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, and anti-oxidants to maximize the beneficial effects.

Skincare

Skincare is a combination of practices that cleanses and support the skin, to enhance its appearance and condition. It can include a regimen that removes dirt, excess oil, cleaning the face, rejuvenation, and even protection via sunscreen and recommendations on makeup use. While steps vary, the typical order is to clean, tone, moisturize, occasionally exfoliate, and apply sunscreen. Skincare is important as it helps the skin be healthy and stay in good condition. Naturally, dirt will build up in our face, and we are shedding skin cells throughout the day, so it's important to have a regimen that can effectively clean this to prevent inflammations. An effective routine can help slow down signs of aging, prevent acne, treat wrinkles, and help keep the skin looking its best. Once it is established, it is easier to maintain.

Laser energy from the Elite IQ Alexandrite laser is used to treat pigmented lesions such as solar lentigo, ephelides, macular pigmented seborrhoiec keratosis, café au lait macules, naevus of Ota and Mongolian blue spots. Short pulses of light-energy are used to shatter the pigment within the skin. This process oxidises the pigment, turning it darker, and causing the pigmented skin to peel off.
