IPL Laser Treatments
We offer a safe, long-term solution to unwanted hair for both men and women. This treatment is suitable for the face and body, is quick and results can be seen after just a few sessions.
How is the treatment carried out?
The applicator is placed on the skin and a short pulse of light is released, which targets many follicles simultaneously. The applicator is then moved to the neighbouring area of skin and the process is repeated until the area is treated.
How does light-assisted hair removal work?
Light is selectively absorbed by melanin, the pigment in the hair follicle. The light energy heats the pigment and effectively destroys the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding cells.
Am I suitable for this treatment?
Most people are suitable for treatment. Best results are often achieved with clients who have fair skin and dark hair. Dark hair is more easily treated as it has a high concentration of melanin. Fair hair, however, contains less melanin and is harder to treat. We recommend a consultation to ascertain if the treatment will be successful for you. Grey/white hair has no melanin so is not suitable.
​
How many treatments are necessary?
Only hair that is actively growing is affected, therefore multiple treatments are needed. Treatment is conducted every 4 - 8 weeks depending on the area treated, until a satisfactory result is seen. The required number of treatment varies but typically 6 or more are needed for optimum results.
How does the treatment feel?
Treatment sensation varies but is often described as “a flick of an elastic band”. Typically no anaesthesia is required and most clients describe the discomfort as moderate and tolerable.
What will I see after the treatment?
The hair follicles are damaged by heat but the hairs remain in the follicles. The dead hairs shed after 1- 3 weeks as the epidermis renews. During this period the hairs will seem to ‘grow’ as they are pushed out by the new epidermis.
How long does each treatment take? Treatments can take as little as 10 minutes up to an hour, depending on the size of the area being treated
Are there any side-effects?
The skin may be red immediately after treatment and the hair follicles may be swollen and bumpy but this usually subsides within a few hours. Unwanted reactions are rare but may include a small blister or temporary lightening or darkening of the skin.
​
Consultation Procedure
Prior to treatment, a consultation is conducted in which a medical history is taken to confirm suitability for treatment. This is also a good opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have. Before treatment commences you must provide written consent and a small test patch will be carried out.

IPL Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Skin Rejuvenation treatments offer a solution for all the visible signs of ageing caused by sun damage, such as brown spots (pigmentation), redness (thread veins) and uneven skin texture, lines and wrinkles.
How does the treatment work?
Precisely controlled short pulses of light are released that target discolouration (brown and red lesions) to create a more youthful, even complexion. In addition, this light results in the stimulation of the fibroblast cells, leading to increased production of new collagen and elastin. This improves the texture of the skin, evening out lumps and bumps whilst reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
​
How is the treatment carried out?
Upon consultation a treatment procedure will be tailored specifically to you. The process will include alight applicator that is placed onto the skin and a short pulse of light is released. The hand piece is then moved to the neighbouring area and the process is repeated until the entire area is treated. During treatment protective eye wear will be provided.
Am I suitable for treatment?
Yes, treatment is suitable for most people. We recommend a full consultation to ascertain your suitability and to allow the treatment to be tailored to your needs.
​
How does the treatment feel?
Treatment can be mildly uncomfortable, but no anaesthesia is required and most people describe the discomfort as moderate and acceptable, not unlike a quick pin prick and warm feeling.
​
Are there any side effects?
The skin may be quite red and slightly swollen after treatment, but this usually subsides quickly. Very rarely a small blister may form and there can be temporary lightening or darkening of the skin. However, most people experience no side effects and any skin reaction usually disappears within a few hours.
​
What should I expect after the treatment?
Redness and a slight warming sensation are normal after treatment. A cooling pack is applied after treatment to calm the skin. You may see a darkening of any pigmented spots before they flake off, leading to a more even skin tone. Tightening of the skin should increase over the following months as new collagen is produced within the dermis.
How many treatments are necessary?
Treatments are carried out every 2 to 3 weeks and 6 treatments are recommended for best results. Thereafter, top-up sessions are performed as required, but typically once or twice a year.
​
How long does each treatment take?
Treatment times can vary but typically between 20-45 minutes depending on the area
Consultation Procedure
Prior to treatment you must first undergo a consultation where details about your medical history are obtained in order to confirm suitability. Before proceeding you will be asked to sign a consent form and undergo a test patch.

IPL Laser Red Vein Removal
We can provide a long term solution to facial problems such as red flushing (Rosacea), thread veins and red spots in just a few quick and easy treatments.
How does the treatment work?
Light energy is applied to the skin where it is readily absorbed
by blood vessels, heating them to a point where they are destroyed. Following treatment, the vessels quickly clear as they are re-absorbed by the body, leaving little or no trace of the original lesion.
​
What types of veins can be treated?
Most red skin lesions, including the facial thread veins, rosacea, spider naevi and port wine stains, can be treated very successfully. Depending on the lesions, leg vessels can also respond well to treatment.
How is the treatment carried out?
The light applicator is placed on the skin and a short pulse of light is released. The applicator is then moved to the neighbouring area and the process is repeated until the entire area is treated. During treatment, protective eyewear will be provided.
​
Am I suitable for this treatment?
Treatment is suitable for most people. Best results are obtained for those with fair skin, and there is less sign of side-effects.
How does the treatment feel?
Treatment is mildly uncomfortable but there is no need for anaesthesia and the procedure is actually quite quick. Sensations vary but most describe it as a very quick, hot pin prick.
​
Are there any side-effects?
After treatment the area may feel warm for a few hours. Rarely, some delicate skin areas such as the cheeks or decollate can be red and slightly swollen for up to 48hrs. Though very rare, there is a chance a small blister may form and there could be temporary lightening or darkening of the skin.
How long does each treatment take?
Treatments typically take from 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the type and size of the lesion.
​
How many treatments are necessary?
Typically 3 to 5 treatments are needed for optimum results, though small lesions may clear in just a single session. Repeat treatments are spaced every 4 to 6 weeks.
​
Consultation Procedure
Prior to treatment you must first undergo a consultation where details about your medical history are obtained in order to confirm suitability. Before proceeding you will be asked to sign a consent form and undergo a patch test.

IPL Laser Pigmentation Removal
Pigmented lesions such as sun spots and freckles can be successfully removed creating a more flawless, youthful and
glowing appearance
​
How does the treatment work?
Light is released in short pulses that are readily absorbed by the high melanin found within pigmented lesions. The rapid absorption of light energy heats the melanin and causes the destruction of melanin-rich cells.
​
How is the treatment carried out?
The light applicator is placed on the skin and a short pulse of light is released. The applicator is then moved to the neighbouring area and the process is repeated until the entire area is treated. With Q-Switched Laser treatments due to the power of the Laser energy delivered into the skin, a small amount of pinpoint bleeding may occur during the treatment and a dressing may be applied afterwards to protect the skin while it heals. During treatment, protective eyewear will be provided.
Am I suitable for this treatment?
Most people are suitable for treatment except for very dark skinned or tanned individuals. However, large, dark, mottled or raised pigmentation cannot be treated and may need to be checked by a dermatologist. Large, dark moles should not be treated, nor should lesions covering a large part of the body. The pigmented marks that respond the best are superficial lesions such as those caused by sun damage (sun spots) and freckles.
​
How many treatments are necessary?
The number of treatments will depend on the type and size of the pigmented lesion but typically 1 to 3 sessions are required at 4 to 6 week intervals.
How does the treatment feel?
Most patients describe the discomfort as mild and tolerable.
What should I expect after the treatment?
The treated area may feel warm and sensitive for the first few days post treatment. The lesions may darken and may appear more obvious before they 'flake' away. Sometimes an initial whitening of the area is seen which quickly fades and the pigmentation gradually fades over the following weeks.
Are there any side-effects?
The skin that surrounds the pigmented lesion may become red immediately after treatment. Most people experience no other side effects and the redness usually disappears within areas within a few hours to a few days. Very rarely a small blister may form or the skin may become temporarily lighter or darker.
​
How long does each treatment take?
The length of each treatment will depend on the type and size of the lesion present, but a typical session will take 10 to 30 minutes.
​
Consultation Procedure
Prior to treatment you must first undergo a consultation where details about your medical history are obtained in order to confirm suitability. Before proceeding you will be asked to sign a consent form and undergo a patch test.

IPL Laser Acne Treatment
Acne can be effectively treated with Intense Pulsed Light alone or in combination with other clinical treatments. Intense Pulsed Light treatments greatly reduce the number and severity of active lesions, lessening the inflammation and frequency of break-outs.
How does the Intense Pulsed Light work?
The light emitted from the Intense Pulsed Light system directly targets overactive sebaceous glands, greatly reducing the number and severity of active lesions, and lessening the inflammation and occurrence of break-outs. The light stimulates the production of new collagen to improve skin texture and can also reduce the appearance of red or brown areas of skin that are often associated with acne breakouts.
How is the treatment carried out?
A layer of chilled gel is applied to the skin to help guide the light. The light guide is placed onto the skin and a short pulse of light is released. The applicator is passed over the skin several times before moving onto the neighbouring area and the process is repeated until the whole area is treated. Each pulse of light treats a large area of skin and so the duration of the treatment is very short. The gel is removed and the skin is moisturised. During treatment, protective eyewear will be provided.
​
Am I suitable for this treatment?
Almost everyone can be treated, apart from very dark skinned or tanned individuals. If you are pregnant or taking Roaccutane (acne medication) it is best not to undergo laser or Intense Pulsed Light treatment.
How does the treatment feel?
Treatment is mildly uncomfortable but there is no need for anaesthesia and the procedure is actually quite quick. Most people describe the sensation as similar to the flick of an
elastic band.
​
What should I expect after the treatment?
Immediately after treatment the skin may appear red and a warm tingling sensation may be felt. Typically the skin is cooled to ease discomfort and a calming gel is applied.
Are there any side-effects?
The treated area can become quite red immediately after treatment but this usually disappears within a couple of hours. Most people experience no other side-effects but very rarely a small blister could form or the skin may become temporarily lighter or darker.
​
How long does each treatment take?
Treatments typically take approximately 30 minutes.
How many treatments are necessary?
The number of treatments varies from person to person but typically 6 Intense Pulsed Light and 6 exfoliating treatments will result in a significant improvement.

Illumi Facial is a very quick, comfortable treatment which is designed to provide you with ‘optimum skin health’. Some people will feel a slight tingling sensation when the fruit peel is first applied, but it very quickly subsides.

​
Are there any side effects?
The Illumi Facial is a completely non-invasive treatment, using safe, medical-grade equipment to minimise side effects.
Your skin may be red and slightly swollen immediately after treatment, but this will subside very quickly. You may also have some patches of dry skin and in very rare cases, a small blister can form with some temporary lightening or darkening of the skin. However, most people experience absolutely no side effects and any reactions usually disappear within a few hours, leaving the skin feeling and looking radiant.
