Laser Treatments
As well as laser hair removal, problems such as pigmentation and facial veins and flushing can be treated effectively.
Laser uses a specific wavelength of light energy that is absorbed by the area of tissue we wish to treat.
Sometimes people are initially wary of laser treatment (there are some connotations with James Bond!) but they are then surprised to find how straightforward it is.

In our mind laser is the best form of treatment for facial threadveins and permanent hair reduction, and can also be the treatment of choice for leg veins and pigmentation.
Laser Treatment for Acne
After-effects with our treatments are mainly some mild redness that usually settles within a few hours or by the following day.
By using 2 laser wavelengths - 532nm (KTP) and 1064nm (Nd:YAG) - we have the flexibility to offer a range of effective treatments. Most treatments are painless, the exceptions being hair removal and leg veins - for these treatments we recommend a local anaesthetic cream beforehand.
Our laser treats the following:
Facial veins, Rosacea, Acne, Pigmentation, Leg Veins, Hair Removal (brown or dark hair only), Pseudo-Folliculitis Barbae (shaving rash).
A programme of Enhanced Skin Rejuvenation combines laser treatments for reducing background redness and discolouration of the skin for clearing of the complexion and tightening of the skin.
