Using Q-Switched laser technology, this gentle form of laser treatment effectively tones pigmentation and stimulates collages and elastin growth in the dermis. Laser pigment toning is highly suitable pigment conditions such as melasma (it can be likened to using toner to tone-down brassiness in the hair).
Laser Genesis is recommended as a general anti-ageing treatment to maintain a heathy level of collagen and elastin in the dermis.
Laser carbon peels can refresh and improve the look of skin, and they’re best for people with oily skin, enlarged pores, and acne. This treatment is suitable for all skin types and is particularly effective on darker skin types resulting in a brighter, smoother complexion.
These treatments are designed as an on-going maintenance treatment, generally requiring bi-monthly sessions, though this may depend on individual factors.
Avoid unprotected UV (sun) exposure for a minimum of 4 weeks prior to treatment. It is recommended you avoid unprotected UV exposure throughout the duration of your treatments to achieve maximum results.
The use of exfoliating skin care products recommended by your Dermal Therapist will help prepare the skin for treatments and enhance results.
Discontinue using prescription vitamin A (Retrieve ®, Retin A®, Steva A®) or highstrength over the counter retinol 5 days before your treatment unless advised otherwise.
If you have a history of herpes/cold sores, you may wish to take anti-viral medication prior to treatment, to prevent an onset.

Do not use fake tan on the proposed area for 2 weeks prior to your treatment.
Areas treated with muscle relaxants (eg. BOTOX®) or dermal fillers must be completely healed (eg. no swelling, bruising, redness or discomfort) before any skin treatment can be performed.
Do not have waxing done (or anything that will cause trauma to the skin) 48-72 hours prior treatment.
Do not use moisturisers or lotions which are highly perfumed or contain active ingredients such as retinol, glycolic acids and vitamin C. Instead please use bland products during the healing phase or until your skin is no longer sensitive. Thereafter please use your prescribed skin care regime.
