Frequently Asked Questions

Certain medications can cause the skin to be photosensitive. To avoid adverse reactions from occurring, we advise you to seek medical clearance from your GP prior to proceeding with the treatment.

Vascular Lesion Treatments are effective and improvements can frequently be seen after the first treatment. The number of required treatments will vary depending on the type and location of the vascular lesion. Broken capillaries on the facial area (usually on the cheeks, chin and around the nose), will typically require 2-4 treatments done 4-8 weeks apart.

For Laser Flushing, we recommend 4-6 treatments done at monthly intervals for optimum results. We treat angiomas in the clinic and it usually requires one treatment. Our experienced Skin Therapists will assess the vascular lesion and provide a tailored treatment plan suitable to your goals.

Pain tolerance varies between individuals. For Vascular Lesion Removal, you may experience a cold, tingling sensation in the treatment area and this will usually subside after the treatment. For Laser Flushing, it is a warming sensation on the treated area.

Each procedure is different – our less invasive treatments (such as Microdermabrasion and superficial Cosmedical Grade Peels) give more immediate results, and our more invasive treatments (such as deeper Cosmedical Grade Peels) may take up to a month to see full results. These treatments, however, have more lasting impacts than our less invasive treatments. At your complimentary skin consultation, your Skin Therapist will advise on a personalised treatment plan.

There is no downtime for this treatment. You may experience slight redness after the treatment but this usually subsides within 24 hours. We recommend the Yellow LED Light Therapy after this treatment to help reduce the redness and provide anti-ageing benefits. Light mineral makeup can be applied directly after the treatment.

This treatment is suitable for mature individuals who currently experiencing signs of ageing such as sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines. For younger individuals, this treatment can be used for preventative measures against ageing as it helps boost collagen production levels.

While this treatment does help with new wounds and active acne, it does not specifically treat existing scarring. Any existing scarring will require advanced treatments such as Skin Needling and Cosmetic Grade Peels in conjunction with our LED Light Therapy for best results.

Pigmentation Removal is suitable for individuals with fair to light skin tones (Fitzpatrick 1-2) and who are not prone to hyperpigmentation.

At Laser Clinics, we have a number of treatments that can help improve the tone, texture, and size of scars. It is important to know that often scars are permanent and treating them can be a very long journey. Factors that can impact our therapists' ability to improve a scar can be the age, size, colour, and texture of the affected skin.

Our highly trained therapists are able to tailor a treatment plan for you and your scars in a one-on-one complimentary consultation. During your skin assessment, your therapist will be able to assess the scar and be able to diagnose a treatment plan for you.

Please note: When treating surgical or fresh scars it is advised to have clearance from your medical professional that it is safe to treat the scar as there is often a required waiting period to ensure safe treatment.

No. In some circumstances, you may not experience visible peeling. This depends on your skin's condition at the time and/or the strength of the peel. You will still experience skin texture improvement due to the accelerated cell turnover rate the Cosmetic Grade Peel treatments produce.

Laser Skin Tightening is designed to stimulate dermal collagen production and help with the regeneration of damaged skin cells. Skin tightening works on both Type 1 + Type 3 collagen which is a fibrous protein, found in the extra cellular matrix (Dermis). This treatment involves heat energy being delivered into the skin to penetrate deep down whilst protecting the upper visible layers and keeping them intact. It does this by deep thermal effect within the dermis causing collagen contracture and denaturation. This will then induce growth factors and stimulate new collagen synthesis which will then replace the old collagen with new fibres that are more compact and organized to give a less wrinkled appearance. Results are seen 3 months post treatments.

The treated vascular lesion will not return if you follow the recommended aftercare directions and correctly maintain the treatment area. Vascular lesions such as broken capillaries and angiomas can appear as you age so maintenance treatments are recommended. For facial redness, you will expect to see significant improvements after completing the course of Laser Flushing treatments. Maintenance treatments are recommended every 2-3 months to maintain results.

This treatment can be performed on most areas of the face and upper body with the exception of the head. The most common treatment areas include the face and decolletage.
