Skin & Laser
Laser Treatments
Laser and light-based treatments may be used for a range of skin concerns, including pigmentation, redness, visible vessels, texture and sun-related skin changes.
The most suitable treatment depends on the diagnosis, skin type and individual risk factors, so assessment is important before proceeding.
What Can Laser Skin Treatments Address?
Depending on the device and clinical assessment, treatment may be considered for:
- Pigmentation
- Sun damage
- Facial redness
- Visible vessels
- Uneven skin tone
- Skin texture
- Selected acne-related concerns
- General skin rejuvenation
Why Is Skin Assessment Important?
Laser treatment is not suitable for every skin concern or every skin type.
Assessment may consider:
- Skin type
- Pigmentation risk
- Recent sun exposure
- Medical history
- Current medications
- Previous treatments
- Skin sensitivity
- Desired downtime
Treatment Planning
The type of device, treatment settings and number of sessions depend on the concern being treated and the individual patient.
A personalised plan should include discussion of:
- Expected benefits
- Limitations
- Downtime
- Risks
- Aftercare
- Alternatives
