FAQs

What conditions can laser treatments address?

Our medical and cosmetic laser treatments can effectively address a variety of conditions, including acne, rosacea, spider veins, unwanted hair, pigmentation issues, and skin rejuvenation. They are also used for vascular concerns and scar reduction. The specific laser and treatment plan will depend on your skin type and the condition being treated.

Are laser treatments safe?

Yes, laser treatments are generally safe when performed by a qualified professional. Modern lasers are equipped with advanced safety features, and treatments are tailored to your skin type and condition. Some mild side effects like redness or swelling may occur, but these usually subside within a few hours to days.

Is there any downtime after treatment?

Most laser treatments involve minimal to no downtime. You might experience some redness, swelling, or mild discomfort immediately after the procedure, which usually resolves within a few hours to days. Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

Can laser treatments be combined with other procedures?

Yes, laser treatments can often be combined with other cosmetic procedures like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or injectable treatments to enhance results. Your provider will recommend the best combination of treatments based on your skin’s needs and your aesthetic goals.

Are laser treatments suitable for all skin types?

While many laser treatments are suitable for a variety of skin types, certain lasers are more effective and safer for specific skin tones. During your consultation, your provider will assess your skin type and recommend the most appropriate treatment to minimise the risk of complications.

What should I do to prepare for my laser treatment?

Preparation may include avoiding sun exposure, stopping certain medications, and not using skincare products that can irritate the skin. You’ll receive detailed pre-treatment instructions during your consultation to ensure the best possible outcome.

When will I see results?

Results vary depending on the treatment and condition. Some patients see improvements after the first session, while others may need a few treatments to notice significant changes. Results often continue to improve over several weeks as your skin heals and regenerates.

Are laser treatments painful?

Most patients describe the sensation during laser treatments as mild discomfort, similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. Numbing creams or cooling devices are often used to minimise discomfort. The level of pain can vary depending on the area being treated and the type of laser used.

How do I know if laser treatment is right for me?

A consultation with a qualified provider is the best way to determine if laser treatment is right for you. During the consultation, your skin will be assessed, your medical history reviewed, and your treatment goals discussed to create a personalised plan tailored to your needs.
