the Laser Treatment Clinic | Sun Damage

Everybody wants smooth, clear youthful looking skin. Unfortunately sun damage is inevitable.

If you have sun damage spots, then the only way to get rid of them is to have laser treatment. This damage is well beneath the top layers of skin and no creams will ever be able to repair the damage.

Sun spots, age and liver spots, freckles or patches on the skin are caused by increased production of melanin, in the skin from exposure to sun or with age.

The Science

The Advanced Intense Pulsed Light system produces a light that eliminates flaws without damaging the surrounding skin. A sapphire crystal waveguide conducts the filtered light to the target chromophores in the tissues causing the unwanted skin lesions to heat up and disintegrate/disappear. Discoloration of the skin and hyper-pigmentation can be irradiated.

The Treatment

A cold gel is applied to the area to be treated. After which the sapphire crystal waveguide is gently applied to the skin and pulses of light are applied.
You should feel no more than the sharp snap of a rubber band against the skin. The treatment is extremely fast and an area of the face such as the cheeks may take less than 5 minutes to treat whilst the full face may take just 20 minutes.

After the treatment the lesion will initially look a little darker and start to peel or fade in the next couple of weeks.

These treatments are tailored to your needs and are approved by the Laser Protection Supervisor.
