Cosmetic Laser
Surface laser treatment is a non-invasive therapy used to treat a range of superficial vascular and skin conditions. It is primarily effective for the management of spider veins and telangiectasia, as well as vascular skin concerns such as rosacea, port wine stains, and certain venous malformations.
Surface laser therapy can also be used to improve the appearance of scars and stimulate facial collagen rejuvenation, helping to enhance skin texture, tone, and overall skin quality. Treatments are targeted, precise, and designed to minimise damage to surrounding tissue while promoting natural healing.
What is surface laser?
The Vbeam® laser system uses pulsed dye laser technology to deliver an intense but gentle burst of light into targeted areas of the skin. This laser light is then absorbed by the target (blood vessel or pigmented area).
Most Vbeam® laser treatments require 3-4 sessions. The treatment will be determined complete when the desired outcome has been achieved by the patient and by the judgement of our team. How long the results last depends on several factors, including the condition being treated and your lifestyle.
The cost of your treatment is based on the duration of laser time/area to be treated.
Can I have laser treatment?
Not everyone is suitable for laser treatment. Some people may need to take extra precautions:
- Accutane (isotretinoin) therapy - 12 month wait period after completion
- Tattoos - can not treat a tattooed area and 1 cm surrounding it
- Photosensitivity
- Pregnancy
- Herpes Simplex Virus
- Areas of active skin infection
- Open wounds
- Keloid Scarring
- Implanted devices such as pacemakers
- Anti-wrinkle treatments and fillers - 4 week post treatment wait
- Recently tanned skin
What happens during the procedure?
Most patients are reclining or lying down, depending on the area being treated. There may be a warming or tingling sensation during the treatment, and redness immediately after treatment, which usually goes away in a few hours. Occasionally, a laser bruise called purpura may occur; this usually disappears in three to five days.
Most patients report a sensation similar to mild sunburn after the treatment. Vbeam® Prima uses Candela’s patented Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) and EverCool contact cooling, which increases comfort during treatment and minimises side effects such as redness.
