Harsh weather and daily stresses can leave skin looking tired. A session takes under 45 minutes and can leave skin looking refreshed, with a natural glow and a softer appearance to fine lines and wrinkles.
Which of these is right for you is a decision for your physician, made at your consultation once they have assessed your skin — this page is a starting point, not a diagnosis.
Laser Skin Treatments
Laser treatment for a smoother complexion, brighter sun-damaged skin, benign pigmented lesions, and visible face and leg veins. Each protocol is tailored to your skin tone and the concern being treated.
A Laser Facial is suited to sun-damaged skin, red or ruddy complexions, light telangiectasia (spider veins), and uneven pigmentation — most often on the face but usable almost anywhere on the body. Each protocol is tailored to skin tone and needs.
The Potenza RF microneedling system adds radiofrequency energy to mechanical microneedling for enhanced skin tightening alongside the benefits of micro-injury stimulation.
The Potenza RF microneedling system adds radiofrequency energy to the mechanical microneedling procedure, delivered via small needles. In addition to the micro-injury benefits, RF microneedling delivers RF energy deep into the dermis for enhanced skin tightening. The RF energy heats underlying layers, causing constriction/tightening and stimulating collagen and elastin production. Results vary from person to person.
Ultra is a laser treatment used to improve skin tone and texture and address mild to moderate age spots, freckles, sun spots, benign pigmented lesions, sun damage, melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Suitability is assessed during a consultation.
PRP used topically or via microinjections to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, improve tone and elasticity, and reduce the appearance of acne scars and pigmentation.
Platelet-rich plasma prepared from the patient's own blood is applied to the skin or delivered by microinjections. Platelet-derived growth factors may support collagen production and skin renewal; results vary.
Avoid sun exposure for one week before a Laser Facial treatment.
Suggested course
Laser Facial: 3–6 treatments usually required for lasting results. Benign pigmented lesions: more even colour is often visible in as few as 2 treatments, with a full course of 4 at 3–4 week intervals. Vascular treatments (spider veins): improvement is often visible in as few as 2 treatments, spaced 4–8 weeks apart. Results vary, and the number of treatments is confirmed at consultation.
RF Microneedling
How long a session takes
Typically around 30 minutes. A topical anaesthetic is applied and can take up to 45 minutes to become fully effective.
How it feels
A topical numbing cream is applied to help reduce discomfort. Most patients describe feeling the needles working but say it is not painful. A member of the clinical team stays with you throughout, and treatment can be stopped at any point.
After treatment
A smoother, more radiant complexion within a few days, with gradual improvement over several weeks/treatments. Redness, minor swelling and pinpoint bleeding are normal and typically resolve within 3 days. Minor bumps or, rarely, micro-crusting can occur and are readily managed at the clinic.
Aftercare
Avoid strenuous exercise and sun exposure for 48 hours after treatment. Follow your clinician's instructions about sunscreen and other skin care products before resuming your usual routine.
Suggested course
Three- and five-session packages are recommended to build and maintain firmer, refreshed-looking skin.
Ultra Treatment
How long a session takes
10–20 minutes depending on the area treated — sometimes called a "Lunchtime Facial."
How it feels
Discomfort is variable, described as mild to moderate; a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize it.
Downtime
Mild redness can occur after treatment and usually lessens over the following day. Most patients can resume their usual activities. Skin may feel dry and sandpaper-like for 5–6 days as it exfoliates; full healing may take 5–7 days.
Aftercare
Follow your practitioner's advice about when to apply makeup while your skin heals.
Results
Results may appear after a single treatment or require several visits depending on the condition.
PRP Skin Rejuvenation
How long a session takes
30 to 60 minutes depending on the treatment area.
Suggested course
A series of 3–4 treatments may be recommended, spaced a few weeks apart, depending on your assessment; maintenance sessions may also be suggested.
