Questions and Answers

How does the treatment work?

A cold gel is applied to the area to be treated and short pulses of light are released that target discolouration( brown and red lesions) in addition this light results in the stimulation of the fibroblast cells, leading to increased production of new collagen and elastin. This improves the texture of the skin, evening out lumps and bumps whilst reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

Usually a course of treatment is recommended and the number of treatments required would be discussed at the time of the initial consultation, as it varies from patient to patient. This provides excellent long-term results and minimal adverse effects. It offers a safe, dramatically rejuvenating treatment that can be tailored to your own individual skin condition and skin type, providing superior cosmetic results and outstanding satisfaction.

How does the treatment feel?

Treatment can me mildly uncomfortable but no anaesthesia is required, most people describe the discomfort as tolerable.

Are there any side effects?

The skin may be quite red and slightly swollen after treatment but this usually subsides quickly. Very rarely a small blister may form and there can be temporary lightening or darkening of the skin. However most people experience no side effects and any skin reaction usually disappears within a few hours.

What to expect after treatment

Redness and a slight warming sensation are normal after treatment. A cooling pack is applied after treatment to calm the skin. You may see a darkening of any pigmented spots before they flake off, leading to a more even skin tone. Tightening of the skin should increase over the following months as new collagen is produced within the dermis.

How many treatments are necessary?

Treatments are carried out every 2-3 weeks and 6 treatments are recommended for best results. Thereafter, top-up sessions are performed as required, but typically once or twice a year.

How long does each treatment take?

Treatment times can vary but typically between 20-45 minutes. You can return to work the same day and resume all your regular activities.
