Laser Skin Rejuvenation Treatment

Laser Skin Rejuvenation Treatment

120€ (VAT included)

We offer two types of Laser Facial Rejuvenation, E-Light and Pico-second Laser - Pico Rejuve. The best suited laser will be recommended the day of your first visit.

 E-Light is new technology that combines the benefits of IPL (intense pulsed light), RF (Radio Frequency) and epidermis (outer skin layer) cooling.

First the IPL (intense pulse light) energy is used to preheat the target area which creates a thermal path for the RF (radio frequency) energy. Then the electromagnetic energy RF is delivered directly to the skin or targeted lesions.

This allows for less energy needed to be applied during the treatment, leading to greater results. The treatment is also suitable for darker skins.

E-Light rejuvenation is a fantastic treatment for aging skin with fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, uneven skin tone or lacking elasticity and firmness, enlarged pores, light redness.

The treatment will reveal a naturally younger appearance with clearer and more even complexion.

No downtime, pain free, immediate results (and it only gets better in the days after the treatment), none invasive.

Treatment suitable for face, chest, neck and hands.

We recommend 1 treatment every 2-4 weeks, up to 8 treatments wihin a course.

Brighter, healthier, younger-looking skin — with virtually no downtime.

Pico Pro is a none ablative ( doesn't affect the outer later of the skin) highly effective skin resurfacing, rejuvenating treatment. 

Because Pico Pro doesn’t burn and damage the surface of the skin, make-up, moisturisers and sun screens may be applied shortly after the treatment. Most people experience light redness for a few hours after the treatment.

How it works?
The energy emitted by the laser is absorbed in the facial dermis - deeper skin layer, fragmenting the old collagen of poor quality and activating the formation of new collagen and elastin.

Pico Pro targets all three layers of tissue, epidermal pigment, mid-dermal wrinkles, and deep-dermal laxity. 

Thus, progressively after each laser session we improve the appearance of the facial skin and give luminosity to the face.
It is virtually painless and will leave your skin rejuvenated and revitalised.

Reasons you may seek treatment include:

Loose, lax skin

Enlarged Pores

Sun/Age Spots
Pigmentary Concerns
Brighter/Radiant Complexion
Even Skin Tone
Return Skin To Its Youthful State

How many sessions will I need?
It will depend on facial skin quality. In general, this laser treatment requires about 4-6 sessions (1 session / 4 weeks).

 

A full consultation is required for Laser/E-light/SHR treatment - patch test required.
