Laser

At Cosmetic Skin Care, we use Fotona’s SP Dynamis Nx laser, a versatile all-in-one solution for aesthetics & dermatology, designed to perform all major aesthetic treatments. With a powerful combination of gold-standard Nd:YAG and Er:YAG laser wavelengths, this highly versatile device delivers outstanding results across a wide range of applications, including popular new non-invasive facial and body treatments that provide our clients with natural-looking results.

Treatments

Vector Lift

This non-invasive laser treatment results in an eyebrow lift, upper eyelid rejuvenation and smoother fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead. The laser tightens the tissue as well stimulating collagen to give best results by enabling maximum lift. This treatment is best combined with the smooth eye treatment and results are expected to be optimum 3 weeks post treatment.

Recommendation: Three treatments 4-6 weeks apart

Downtime: Little to no downtime, some patients experience minimal redness for 24 hours followed by dry skin for a couple of days

Duration: approx. 30 mins

Smooth eye

This non-invasive laser treatment reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eye by rejuvenating the skin. The stimulation of collagen will tighten the tissue around the eye to lift the upper eye and reduce ‘hooding’ of the eye.

Recommendation: Three treatments 4-6 weeks apart

Downtime: Little to no downtime, some patients experience minimal redness for 24 hours followed by dry skin for a couple of days

Duration: approx. 30 mins

4D Facelift

The Fotona 4D facelift treatment uses advanced technology from the laser machine to strengthen and stimulate collagen. Treatments are tailored to the individual and both the exterior of the face and the internal oral cavity are treated. This stimulates the fibroblast cells to produce more elastin so the tissue is tightened from the inside out. The skin will appear more rejuvenated and plumper whilst improving skin tone and texture. The expected result is the improved appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, reduction in the depth of nasolabial and melomental folds and increased lip volume. The skin is overall much tighter giving a ‘natural’ face lift appearance as the treatment increases the volume in the deeper tissue of the mid to lower face. Results are optimum 4-6 weeks post treatment and improve after each additional treatment. The client will continue to see improvement up to 9-10 months post treatment due to the regeneration of collagen and elastin.

Recommendation: A minimum of three treatments 4-6 weeks apart

Downtime: Little to no downtime, some patients experience minimal redness for 24 hours followed by dry skin for a couple of days

Duration: approx. 90 mins

Liplase

This is a non-invasive, non-surgical lip plumping procedure to give a natural increase in volume of the lips without the use of needles and dermal filler. The advanced laser will stimulate collagen, resulting in fuller, smoother and more youthful-looking lips. The skin around the lips is regenerated, resulting in a reduction of fine lines and wrinkles and stimulation of collagen to support the structure of the lips.

Recommendation: A minimum of three treatments 2-4 weeks apart

Downtime: Little to no downtime, some patients experience minimal redness for 24 hours followed by dry skin for a couple of days

Duration: approx. 40 minutes

Acne

Laser treatment effectively reduces active acne and improves the appearance of acne scarring. Due to the photo selective absorption and controlled heating effects, the laser reduces inflammation caused by acne and safely penetrates the skin to the correct depth to destroy overactive sebaceous glands. The laser resurfaces acne scarred skin to improve skin tone and texture, as well as stimulating production of collagen which accelerates the healing process to remodel scarred skin. Reaction to treatment is immediate in the reduction to active acne and redness, quality and texture of the skin will be improved.

Recommendation: A minimum of three treatments 4-6 weeks apart- further treatments may be required depending on outcome and response to treatment

Downtime: Little to no downtime, some patients experience minimal redness for 24 hours followed by dry skin for a couple of days

Duration: approx. 40 minutes

Rosacea

This bespoke rosacea treatment addresses the multifactorial origins of rosacea. The first step in the treatment is instant reduction of the superficial capillaries as the laser light is absorbed by the haemoglobin in red blood cells which breaks them down to collapse the capillary. The next step in this treatment addresses the breakouts and uneven skin texture associated with rosacea by reducing the over-productive sebaceous glands and decreases the inflammation. The final step is a light resurfacing on the micron-thin layers of the skin which will rejuvenate and exfoliate the skin to reveal the healthy skin cells below. The results will mean the skin is less reactive, clearer and better quality with a reduction in breakouts and redness.

Recommendation: A minimum of three treatments 4-6 weeks apart – further treatments may be required depending on outcome and response to treatment

Downtime: Little to no downtime, some patients experience minimal redness for 24 hours followed by dry skin for a couple of days

Duration: approx. 40 minutes
