Laser Skin Rejuvenation

Laser skin rejuvenation is a fantastic option if you’re looking to give your skin a little extra love! This non-invasive, painless treatment is suitable for all areas including the face, neck, arms, tummy and chest without hurting the surface—so you can get amazing results with little downtime!

How it works

The skin can be divided into three sections. The targeted structure in skin rejuvenation is in the middle called the dermis, which contains connective tissue and collagen cells. These cells hold a lot of water which is what we are targeting when performing skin rejuvenation using this wavelength.

We use leading laser technology to heat the skin surface to 40 – 45 degrees. Our goal is to create enough heat to induce thermal injury, which will kick start the wound healing process. When your body is healing a wound, it sends new collagen cells to rebuild the damaged connective tissue. This causes the body to produce fresh, healthy, young collagen. The procedure is quick and comfortable, with minimal downtime.

Nd:yag 1064 nm wavelength, is highly absorbed by haemoglobin and water. This energy converts to heat, giving us the desired clinical endpoint. The absorption of melanin is lower at 1064 nm, which is a safer option for darker skin tones.
