Tattoo Removal

What does laser tattoo removal feel like?
Most patients describe laser tattoo removal as similar to the feeling of getting a tattoo, but the process is much faster. Your practitioner will work with you to ensure comfort during the treatment.

How many treatments will tattoo removal require?
The number of treatments needed depends on factors like ink type, size of the tattoo, location on the body, and your lifestyle. During your consultation, we’ll assess your tattoo and recommend a personalised treatment plan for optimal results.

How often will I need treatments?
Typically, treatments are scheduled every 6-8 weeks. This allows the skin to heal and gives your body time to eliminate the broken-down ink particles.

How will my skin look after the laser treatment?
You may notice slight whitening or “frosting” of the skin immediately after treatment, which will subside shortly. Other possible effects include mild swelling, blistering, and redness.

My tattoo was treated with a laser before and didn’t clear. Why try again?
Previous treatments may not have been successful due to the limitations of older laser technologies. Our advanced laser system uses ultra-short pulses of energy to target and break up ink particles more efficiently, making it possible to treat even stubborn tattoos, including blue and green inks.

Can I lighten the tattoo to have another one put on top?
Yes, we can lighten tattoos to prepare for a cover-up. We usually recommend waiting six weeks between your last treatment and getting a new tattoo.

How much does tattoo removal cost?
Pricing varies based on the size of the tattoo and the number of treatments required. After your consultation, we will provide a detailed estimate of your treatment plan.

Skin Rejuvenation

What causes unwanted pigment?
Pigmented lesions, such as sunspots and age spots, result from concentrated melanin in specific areas of the skin. Sun exposure, hormonal changes, or other factors can contribute to these changes.

What types of pigmented lesions can be removed?
Our laser technologies can effectively treat a variety of pigmented lesions, including age spots, freckles, and brown patches. During your consultation, we’ll create a treatment plan tailored to your skin.

How many treatment sessions will it take?
Removing pigmented lesions typically requires only a few treatments. Larger or deeper lesions may require additional sessions.

What does the treatment feel like?
The laser pulse is often compared to a snap of a thin rubber band. Most patients find it tolerable, and your practitioner can discuss comfort options with you.

What type of post-treatment care is necessary?
After the procedure, it’s essential to keep the treated area clean and avoid irritation. We’ll provide specific aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

Is there any downtime?
There is typically minimal to no downtime. You may experience redness and swelling, but this usually resolves within a few hours.

How does laser scar treatment work?
Laser scar treatment uses targeted energy to reach deep into the skin, promoting your body’s natural healing process. This encourages the production of new collagen and elastin, resulting in smoother, more even skin.

What types of scars can be treated?
Our laser scar treatments are FDA-cleared for acne-scars on any area of the body, including the face.

How long does it take?
Treatment sessions are quick, often taking 15 minutes or less, depending on the size of the area being treated.

What does the treatment feel like?
Most patients feel minimal discomfort during the treatment. Your practitioner will work with you to ensure the process is as comfortable as possible.

How many treatments will I need?
Most patients see improvement after 2 treatments, but a series of 3-5 treatments is recommended for optimal results.

Are there any side effects?
Side effects may include temporary redness and swelling at the treatment site. Following the recommended aftercare routine helps minimise the risk of side effects.

Hair Removal

How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal uses advanced laser technology to target the pigment in hair follicles. The laser energy heats the follicles, disrupting hair growth without damaging the surrounding skin. Over time, this process results in permanent hair reduction.

Is this laser hair removal suitable for all skin types?

Yes, laser hair removal can be effective on a wide range of skin tones. However, the best results are usually seen with darker hair on lighter skin. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your skin and hair type to determine the best treatment plan for you.

How many treatments will I need?

Most clients require a series of treatments, typically between 6 to 8 sessions, to achieve the best results. Hair grows in cycles, and the laser is most effective during the active growth phase, which is why multiple sessions are necessary.

How often will I need treatments?

Treatments are typically scheduled every 6 weeks, depending on the area being treated. This allows for optimal hair reduction as different hairs will be in the active growth phase at different times.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Laser hair removal provides long-lasting hair reduction. After completing your treatment plan, most clients experience a significant reduction in hair growth. Occasional maintenance sessions may be needed to keep the area hair-free.

What areas of the body can be treated?

Laser hair removal can be performed on virtually any area of the body, including the face, underarms, bikini area, legs, back, and chest. During your consultation, your practitioner will discuss which areas you’d like treated.

What does laser hair removal feel like?

Many clients describe the sensation as a slight snap or sting, similar to a rubber band flick. The treatment is typically well tolerated, and your practitioner can adjust the settings to ensure your comfort during the procedure.

How should I prepare for my laser hair removal session?

It’s important to avoid waxing, plucking, or electrolysis for at least 4 weeks before your session, as the laser needs the hair follicle intact to be effective. Shaving is fine, and you should shave the area to be treated 24 hours before your appointment. Avoid sun exposure and tanning to reduce the risk of skin irritation.

What can I expect after the treatment?

You may experience some redness and mild swelling, similar to a sunburn, for a few hours after the treatment. It’s important to keep the area cool and avoid hot showers or vigorous exercise immediately after. Your practitioner will provide detailed aftercare instructions.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects are generally minimal but may include temporary redness, swelling, or slight discomfort at the treatment site. In rare cases, changes in skin pigment may occur, but these effects are usually temporary.

How long do the treatments take?

Treatment times vary depending on the area being treated. Smaller areas like the upper lip can be treated in a few minutes, while larger areas like the legs or back may take up to 30 minutes.

Is there any downtime?

There is little to no downtime with laser hair removal. You can resume normal activities immediately after treatment, although it’s advised to avoid sun exposure and activities that might irritate the treated area for a short period.
