Laser & Light Treatments
What types of skin problems can lasers treat?
HCDL has lasers that can help with a range of skin conditions including facial redness and rosacea, unwanted blood vessels (broken capillaries, telangiectasias, spider nevi and venous lakes), pigmentation such as age spot and sun freckles, skin rejuvenation for fine lines and wrinkle, improved skin tone and texture, acne and acne scarring. Most laser treatments involve a course of treatments to achieve maximum benefit.
How do lasers work?
Lasers deliver energy to the skin to target specific structures such as blood vessels, pigment or collagen. By delivering this energy, lasers help reduce the appearance of unwanted skin blemishes such as redness, small blood vessels, and brown marks. Lasers also promote collagen formation which helps reduce the signs of fine lines and wrinkles and promotes a healthy skin tone.
What are the aims of laser treatment?
The aim of laser therapy is to target and remove the area of concern while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. It is important that you choose a laser practitioner who is highly trained in laser devices and understands how to harness the power of lasers to deliver optimal outcomes.
What will my consultation involve?
During your initial consultation at HCDL, your individual goals for your skin will be discussed.
Your dermatologist will analyse your skin and discuss with you the laser device that best matches your concerns. If you have a variety of skin goals, a combination of laser therapies may selected to optimise your outcome, or your laser may be combined with medical therapy.
