Laser Hair Removal

Laser Hair Removal

Permanent reduction of unwanted hair for smoother skin.

Read more

What it is
Laser hair removal is a safe and effective way to permanently reduce unwanted hair, leaving your skin smoother and softer. The treatment works by directing light energy into the hair follicle, which is absorbed by the pigment in the hair. This process damages the follicle, slowing and preventing future hair growth.

What the treatment involves
During your session, a handheld laser device is gently passed over the treatment area. The light energy targets the roots of active hairs, while the skin’s surface is left unharmed. Most people describe the feeling as a mild warmth or quick snap on the skin. Sessions can take as little as 10 minutes for smaller areas, or up to an hour for larger zones like legs or back.

Treatment options
We use a variety of advanced technologies to ensure the best results for different skin tones and hair types:
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) – Uses broad-spectrum light to target the hair pigment. Best suited for lighter skin tones with dark hair.
Diode Laser – Offers a focused wavelength that penetrates deeper into the follicle. Effective on a wide range of skin tones, particularly fair to medium skin, and works well on coarse hair.
SHR (Super Hair Removal) – Uses gradual heating with lower energy pulses delivered at high repetition. This makes it more comfortable, faster, and suitable for most skin types, including darker tones and sensitive skin.

Expected number of sessions
Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are needed for long-lasting results. On average, 6–8 sessions are recommended, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, depending on the area and individual hair growth patterns.

Benefits
• Long-term reduction of unwanted hair
• Smoother skin with fewer ingrown hairs
• Quick, convenient, and non-invasive treatment
• Suitable for a wide range of skin tones and hair types with the right laser technology
• Saves time and money compared to shaving or waxing in the long run

Downtime
Laser hair removal requires little to no downtime. You may notice mild redness or slight sensitivity immediately after treatment, similar to a light sunburn, but this usually subsides within a few hours. You can return to normal activities straight away, though we recommend avoiding hot showers, exercise, and sun exposure for the first 24–48 hours. Using SPF on treated areas is essential.

Skin Rejuvenation

Skin Rejuvenation

Restore youthful glow and improve skin texture.

Read more

What it is
Laser skin rejuvenation is a safe and non-invasive treatment designed to refresh and restore the skin’s natural radiance. Using advanced IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology, it targets common signs of ageing and sun damage — including uneven skin tone, pigmentation, redness, and fine lines — for a clearer, brighter, and more youthful complexion.

What the treatment involves
During treatment, a handheld IPL device delivers controlled pulses of light to the skin’s surface. This light penetrates into the deeper layers where it:
• Stimulates collagen and elastin production for smoother, firmer skin
• Breaks down pigmentation such as sunspots and age spots
• Reduces redness and visible blood vessels

The procedure is quick and comfortable, usually taking 20–45 minutes depending on the area. Most clients describe the sensation as a gentle snap against the skin.

Benefits
• Improves skin tone and texture
• Reduces pigmentation, sunspots, and redness
• Minimises the appearance of fine lines and pores
• Boosts natural collagen for firmer, fresher-looking skin
• Non-invasive and suitable for both face and body areas

Expected treatment sessions
For best results, a course of 3–6 treatments spaced 3–4 weeks apart is recommended. Many clients notice visible improvements after the first few sessions, with continued results over time as collagen production increases. Maintenance sessions may be advised to keep skin looking its best.

Downtime
There is minimal to no downtime. Skin may appear slightly pink or flushed immediately after treatment, and pigmented spots may temporarily darken before fading. These effects typically resolve within a few hours to a couple of days, allowing you to return to daily activities right away. Consistent use of SPF is essential to protect and maintain your results.

What types of skin can be treated
IPL skin rejuvenation is suitable for a wide range of skin types and tones, particularly lighter to medium complexions with visible sun damage, pigmentation, or redness. Your practitioner will assess your skin to determine if IPL is the right treatment for you.

Pigmentation Removal

Pigmentation Removal

Target sunspots, freckles, and uneven skin tone.

Read more

What it is
Laser pigmentation removal is a safe and effective treatment that targets areas of unwanted pigmentation, such as sunspots, age spots, freckles, and uneven skin tone. Using advanced laser technology, the treatment breaks down excess melanin in the skin, leaving your complexion clearer and more even.

What the treatment involves
During the procedure, a handheld laser device is gently applied to the skin. The laser light is absorbed by the pigmented areas, causing them to gradually fade and, in many cases, disappear completely. Treatments are usually quick, with sessions lasting between 15–45 minutes depending on the area being treated. Most people describe the sensation as a series of mild snaps against the skin.

Treatment options
We use advanced technologies tailored to your skin’s needs:
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) – Best suited for lighter skin tones and larger areas of sun damage, IPL uses broad-spectrum light to gently target pigmentation and improve overall skin clarity.
Nd:YAG Laser – Ideal for deeper or more stubborn pigmentation, and suitable for a wider range of skin types, this laser penetrates deeper into the skin to effectively treat darker spots.

Expected number of sessions
While some clients see visible improvement after just one treatment, pigmentation removal usually requires a course of 3–6 sessions for best results. The exact number will depend on factors such as the depth and type of pigmentation, the technology used, and your individual skin type. Treatments are typically spaced 4–6 weeks apart, allowing the skin time to heal and regenerate between sessions.

Benefits
• Reduces sunspots, freckles, age spots, and uneven skin tone
• Promotes a brighter, more youthful complexion
• Non-invasive with no surgery required
• Suitable for a range of skin concerns and types
• Long-lasting results when combined with good skincare and sun protection

Downtime
There is little to no downtime. Treated areas may appear slightly red or darker immediately after the session, but this typically settles within a few hours to a couple of days. Pigmentation will gradually flake or fade away, revealing clearer skin. You can return to your normal activities straight after treatment, although it is important to use sun protection to maintain results.

Vascular Lesion Removal

Vascular Lesion Removal

Safe, non-invasive reduction of visible veins and redness.

Read more

What it is
Vascular lesions such as thread veins, spider veins, and rosacea are common skin concerns caused by tiny, visible blood vessels close to the skin’s surface. These can appear as red, blue, or purple lines and patches on the face or body. Laser vascular treatment with IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) offers a safe, effective, and non-invasive solution to reduce these visible vessels and restore a clearer, more even complexion.

What the treatment involves
A handheld IPL device delivers controlled pulses of light that are absorbed by the haemoglobin (the red pigment in blood). This heats and safely destroys the targeted blood vessels, which are then naturally reabsorbed by the body. Surrounding skin tissue remains unharmed.

Thread veins (telangiectasia) – Small red or blue vessels on the face or body respond very well to IPL.
Rosacea – IPL reduces redness and flushing by targeting the dilated surface vessels that contribute to the condition.
Spider veins – These tiny clusters of veins, often on the legs or face, can also be treated with IPL.

Why not varicose veins?
Varicose veins are larger, deeper veins caused by faulty valves and poor circulation. Because they sit well below the skin’s surface, IPL cannot reach them effectively. They usually require medical treatments such as sclerotherapy or surgical intervention.

Benefits
• Reduces visible veins, redness, and flushing
• Improves overall skin tone and clarity
• Non-invasive treatment with no needles or surgery
• Quick procedure with lasting results
• Boosts confidence by improving the appearance of skin

Expected treatment sessions
A course of 2–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is typically recommended, depending on the size and number of vessels being treated. Many clients notice visible improvements after the first session, with continued fading over time.

Downtime
There is minimal downtime. Treated areas may appear slightly red, swollen, or darker immediately after the session, but this usually subsides within a few hours to a couple of days. Normal activities can be resumed right away. Consistent sun protection is essential to protect results.

What types of skin can be treated
IPL vascular treatments are most effective for lighter to medium skin tones, as the light targets red pigments in the blood vessels. Darker skin types may require alternative technologies, and your practitioner will assess your suitability during consultation.

Tattoo Removal

Safe, non-invasive fading and removal of unwanted tattoos.

Read more

What it is
Laser tattoo removal is a safe, non-invasive procedure that gradually fades or removes unwanted tattoos. Using an advanced Nd:YAG laser, specific wavelengths of light (1064nm and 532nm) target tattoo ink particles, breaking them down so the body can naturally remove them. This method treats tattoos effectively while preserving the surrounding skin.

What the treatment involves
During the session, a handheld Nd:YAG laser is applied directly over the tattoo.
1064nm wavelength – Primarily targets dark ink colours such as black, dark blue, and dark green.
532nm wavelength – Targets brighter ink colours such as red, orange, pink, and some yellow tones.
The laser emits rapid pulses of light that fragment the tattoo ink. Multiple sessions are needed, and the procedure is typically described as a series of mild snaps or tingling sensations on the skin.

Benefits
• Gradually fades or removes tattoos without surgery
• Can be tailored to different ink colours using the 1064nm and 532nm wavelengths
• Minimizes damage to surrounding skin
• Suitable for most areas of the body

Expected treatment sessions
Most tattoos require 6–12 sessions, spaced 6–8 weeks apart, depending on factors like tattoo size, ink density, colour, age, and placement. Black ink generally responds faster, while bright or pastel colours may require additional sessions.

What types of skin can be treated
Nd:YAG laser is suitable for all skin types, including darker tones, because the wavelengths can be adjusted to safely treat the skin without causing burns or hyperpigmentation.

Advantages and disadvantages of tattoo removal
Black tattoos:
Advantages: Respond quickly and predictably; fewer sessions needed
Disadvantages: Dense, layered black ink may take longer to remove completely

Coloured tattoos:
Advantages: Many colours can be treated effectively using the appropriate wavelength
Disadvantages: Some colours, such as white, light yellow, and certain pastels, are difficult to remove and may not respond fully

Possible side effects and reactions
• Temporary redness, swelling, or mild tenderness
• Minor blistering or crusting, usually healing within a week
• Temporary lightening or darkening of the skin
• Ink dispersal: As ink fragments are removed by the immune system, temporary “ghosting” or patchy fading may occur before full clearance

Downtime
There is minimal downtime. Most clients can resume normal activities immediately. Redness or tenderness may last a few hours to a couple of days. It is essential to protect treated areas from sun exposure and follow aftercare instructions carefully.

Notes for clients
• Multiple sessions are usually required for all tattoos.
• Older tattoos and professionally done black ink tend to respond faster.
• Results vary depending on skin type, ink depth, and density.
• Protective aftercare and sun avoidance are essential for optimal results.

Semi-Permanent Make Up Removal

Semi-Permanent Make Up Removal

Fade or remove unwanted cosmetic tattoos safely and effectively.

Read more

What it is
Semi-permanent makeup removal is a safe, non-invasive treatment designed to fade or fully remove unwanted cosmetic tattoos, such as eyebrows, eyeliner, or lip colour. Using an advanced Nd:YAG laser, targeted light energy breaks down the pigments in the ink, allowing the body’s immune system to gradually eliminate them.

What the treatment involves
During the session, a handheld Nd:YAG laser is applied to the treated area. The laser’s energy penetrates the skin, fragmenting the pigment without damaging surrounding tissue. The procedure is quick, typically taking 15–30 minutes depending on the area, and clients usually describe a mild stinging or snapping sensation.
Knowing which pigments were used in the original PMU is helpful, as some inks respond better to certain wavelengths. This information allows your practitioner to adjust settings for optimal results and reduces the risk of uneven fading.

Benefits
• Gradually fades or removes unwanted semi-permanent makeup
• Non-invasive and precise, preserving surrounding skin
• Can correct or prepare the area for new PMU application
• Tailored treatment based on pigment type and skin tone

Expected treatment sessions
Most PMU removals require 3–6 sessions, spaced 8–12 weeks apart, depending on pigment depth, colour, and the area treated. Darker pigments often respond faster, while some vibrant or stubborn colours may need more sessions.

What types of skin can be treated
Nd:YAG laser is suitable for all skin types, including darker tones. Laser settings can be adjusted to minimize risks and ensure effective treatment without damaging the skin.

Possible side effects and reactions
• Temporary redness, swelling, or mild discomfort
• Minor blistering or crusting, which usually heals within a few days
• Temporary lightening or darkening of the skin
• Ink dispersal: As the pigment breaks down, it is gradually removed by the immune system, which can result in temporary patchiness before full clearance

Downtime
There is minimal downtime. Most clients can resume normal activities immediately. Mild redness or tenderness may last a few hours to a couple of days. Proper aftercare, including avoiding sun exposure and following practitioner instructions, is important for optimal results.

Key notes for clients
• Knowing the original pigment used is helpful to tailor the treatment and improve results.
• Pigment removal occurs gradually as the ink fragments are carried away by the immune system, which may create temporary patchiness.
• Proper aftercare and sun protection are essential to avoid complications and ensure even fading.

Acne Therapy

Laser acne therapy to reduce breakouts and improve skin clarity.

Read more

What it is
Laser acne therapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment that helps reduce active acne and improve overall skin clarity. Using advanced IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology, the treatment targets both the bacteria that cause breakouts and the excess oil production that contributes to clogged pores and inflammation.

What the treatment involves
A handheld IPL device is applied to the skin, delivering controlled pulses of light. This penetrates the skin’s surface to:
• Destroy P. acnes bacteria (the main cause of breakouts)
• Reduce inflammation and redness
• Regulate overactive sebaceous (oil) glands
Sessions usually take 20–30 minutes, with most clients describing the sensation as a gentle flick or snap against the skin.

What types of acne can be treated
• Mild to moderate acne
• Inflammatory acne (red, inflamed spots and pustules)
• Acne-related redness and irritation
(Not suitable for severe cystic acne, which may require medical care.)

Expected treatment sessions
Because acne develops in cycles, a course of 4–6 treatments spaced 2–4 weeks apart is recommended. Maintenance may be suggested for long-term control.

Benefits
• Reduces active breakouts and acne-causing bacteria
• Calms redness and inflammation
• Helps regulate oil production
• Improves skin tone and texture
• Non-invasive, drug-free, and safe for most skin types

Downtime
Minimal to none. Mild redness or warmth may occur immediately after treatment, but usually settles within hours. Normal activities can be resumed right away. SPF protection is essential.

Fungal Nail Eradication

Targeted laser treatment to destroy fungal infections safely.

Read more

What it is
Fungal nail infections (onychomycosis) can cause nails to become thick, discoloured, brittle, and difficult to manage. Laser fungal nail eradication is a non-invasive treatment that uses targeted laser energy to destroy the fungus without harming surrounding nail or skin.

What the treatment involves
Using an Nd:YAG laser, light energy penetrates the nail plate and heats the underlying nail bed, destroying fungal cells. Sessions last around 20–30 minutes, depending on how many nails are treated. Clients usually feel only mild warmth or tingling.

Benefits
• Effectively targets and kills fungus at the source
• Non-invasive, needle-free and drug-free
• No damage to surrounding nail or skin
• Helps restore clearer, healthier nails
• Minimal discomfort compared to other treatments

Expected treatment sessions
A course of 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is usually recommended. Because nails grow slowly, visible results take several months as the healthy nail grows through.

Downtime
No downtime. Normal activities can be resumed immediately, though clients should follow aftercare (keeping feet dry, clean socks, disinfecting footwear) to reduce reinfection risk.

Radio Frequency Skin Tightening

Non-invasive tightening and firming for face and body.

Read more

What it is
Radio Frequency (RF) Skin Tightening is a non-invasive treatment that uses controlled radio frequency energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the skin. This helps to lift, firm, and rejuvenate both the face and body, improving skin texture, elasticity, and overall appearance without surgery.

What the treatment involves
During the session, a handheld RF device is applied to the skin. The device emits gentle radio frequency waves that penetrate deep into the dermis, generating heat. This heat encourages the skin’s natural healing response, promoting collagen regeneration, tightening loose skin, and improving overall tone. The procedure is comfortable, often described as a warm, soothing sensation, and does not require anaesthesia or invasive techniques.

Benefits
• Tightens and firms sagging skin
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Improves skin texture and tone
• Reduces the appearance of cellulite on the body
• Enhances facial contours and provides subtle lifting
• Non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures
• Can be combined with other treatments for enhanced body sculpting

Expected treatment sessions
Most clients achieve optimal results after 6–10 sessions, spaced 1–2 weeks apart, depending on the area treated and the degree of laxity. Maintenance sessions every few months help preserve the results. Visible improvements often appear gradually over several weeks as collagen regenerates.

Downtime
There is minimal to no downtime. Some clients may notice slight redness or warmth in the treated area immediately after treatment, which typically resolves within a few hours. You can return to daily activities immediately.

What types of skin can be treated
RF treatments are suitable for all skin types and tones. Unlike some laser treatments, RF does not rely on pigmentation, making it safe and effective for darker skin types as well.

Areas of the body that can be treated
• Face and neck – Tighten sagging skin, reduce jowls, soften wrinkles, and enhance facial contours.
• Body – Abdomen, arms, thighs, buttocks, and other areas with loose skin or cellulite.
• Cellulite reduction – Improves mild to moderate cellulite by tightening underlying skin.
• Advanced body lifting/sculpting – RF can be combined with vacuum or cavitation technologies for enhanced body contouring.
• Options include monopolar, bipolar/multipolar, or combination RF depending on treatment goals.

Carbon Facials / Treatments

A deep-cleansing laser facial for clearer, brighter skin.

Read more

What it is
The Laser Carbon Facial, also known as the "hollywood Peel" or "Red Carpet Facial" is a gentle yet powerful treatment that deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and revitalises the skin. A layer of medical-grade carbon lotion is applied to the skin and then treated with an advanced Nd:YAG laser. The carbon absorbs oil, debris, and dead skin cells, while the laser energy breaks down impurities, stimulates collagen, and leaves the skin clearer, smoother, and more radiant.

What the treatment involves
• A thin layer of carbon lotion is applied to the skin, where it penetrates deep into pores.
• The Nd:YAG laser is then passed over the area. The carbon particles absorb the laser energy, gently vaporising impurities while stimulating the skin’s natural healing response.
• The result is a deep cleanse, mild resurfacing, and rejuvenation without the downtime of harsher treatments.
• The procedure is quick (usually 30–45 minutes) and often described as a mild tingling or warming sensation.

Benefits
• Deeply cleanses and tightens pores
• Reduces oiliness and controls acne breakouts
• Improves skin tone, clarity, and texture
• Softens fine lines and stimulates collagen production
• Immediate brightening of dull, tired-looking skin
• Safe, non-invasive, and suitable for regular use

Expected treatment sessions
Many clients notice an instant “glow” after one session, but a course of 3–6 treatments, spaced 2–4 weeks apart, is recommended for longer-lasting results. Maintenance sessions every few months keep skin looking fresh.

Downtime
There is no downtime. Skin may appear slightly pink for a short time after treatment, but this usually settles within hours. You can return to normal activities straight away — it’s often called the “lunchtime peel.”

What types of skin can be treated
Suitable for most skin types, including oily, congested, and acne-prone skin, as well as uneven tone, enlarged pores, or early signs of ageing. Particularly effective for oily/combination skin with excess shine or breakouts.

What areas of the body can be treated
Although most popular on the face, the Laser Carbon Facial can also be used on the neck, chest, and back — making it a great option for body areas prone to acne, uneven texture, or dullness.
