LASER SKIN REJUVENATION

LASER SKIN REJUVENATION

Our Cellec laser uses an advanced form of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology to precisely and safely treat problem areas of skin anywhere on the face or body

The laser creates microscopic holes in the surface of the skin. Heat is produced through into the dermis (skin) to stimulate our fibroblast cells, which begins the wound healing response. As the skin heals from the wound, tissue and collagen stimulation will occur, helping to improve skin texture, wrinkles and scarring.

Treatment FAQ’s

HOW DOES THE TREATMENT WORK?

During treatment, tiny grid marks will appear on the skin where the laser has been. This is where we ablate the skin and the process of collagen stimulation begins. The grid marks last a few days and, like a scab, once the new skin underneath is healed, will fall off.

The treatment is fantastic for pigmentation, acne, acne scarring and full face rejuvenation.

This will also reduce the risk of any unwanted side effects from the treatment.
