The award-winning ResurFACE fractional laser system delivers dramatic results for complete skin resurfacing.
ResurFACE offers a versatile range of different fractional resurfacing laser treatments to treat the UK’s most in demand aesthetic concerns including:
Minute sections of the skin are targeted with laser light, which penetrates into the tissue, causing small columns of thermal damage which in turn stimulates significant collagen renewal. The surrounding non-affected areas of skin aid the body’s natural recovery process, allowing dramatic results without significant downtime.
Treatment is suitable for most people and highly recommended for individuals wanting a brighter, more even skin tone, smoother texture with improved skin elasticity, a reduction of wrinkles, reduced pore size and improvement to scars (including acne scars) and stretch marks.
The skin is cleansed and the handpiece is moved over the skin delivering tiny microscopic laser beams. Typical treatment times very depending on the skin conditon and the area being treated, but will range from 10-40 minutes. After treatment the skin is cooled. Protective eyewear must be worn during treatment.
A warm, heating sensation is felt during treatment, with some mild stinging. After treatment the skin can be quite hot and so cold compresses are often utilised to minimise discomfort.
You will experience a mild sunburnt sensation for a few hours after treatment and the skin may be red for 1 to 2 days. This is a normal sign that the skin is healing at a deep level. Swelling is likely but minimal, and resolves in 2 to 3 days. As the healing process occurs, your skin may have a ‘bronzed’ appearance that lasts from 3 to 10 days, depending on the treatment level. Your skin will naturally exfoliate and may flake as if you had mild sunburn.
Improvement is evident after the first session, but for optimum results 3 to 5 treatment sessions are often advised. Treatment is carried out every 2 to 6 weeks, depending upon the level of rejuvenation required.
Skin redness, swelling and the bronzing appearance described above are all expected outcomes of treatment.
Prior to treatment you must first undergo a consultation where details about your medical history are obtained to confirm suitability. Before proceeding with treatment you will also be asked to complete a consent form.
