ABOUT LASER TREATMENTS

Lasers are widely used in Aesthetic Medicine with good outcomes. They are becoming an increasingly popular choice for many treatments such as: skin rejuvenation, skin resurfacing, laser hair removal, and the treatment of red blood vessels on the face.

Many different types of lasers are used in Aesthetic Medicine. The type of laser that is most appropriate for a particular treatment will depend on what the patient is looking to get treated. The most appropriate laser for a particular treatment will be determined by the underlying condition. For example, red blood vessels or rosacea are treated with a vascular laser, while skin tone and wrinkles are improved by a rejuvenation laser.

All patients require a detailed clinical review by a trained clinician. This will involve a thorough assessment of a patient’s medical history and a physical examination. These consultations are vital to ensure that the patient has no contraindications to laser treatment and also to prescribe the best possible laser treatment.

Patients often ask about the risks associated with laser treatments. Cosmetic laser treatment is based on understanding the way in which light wavelengths interact with human skin. This requires an in-depth knowledge and understanding of laser functioning. In the right hands, laser treatments deliver good results. Lasers should only be used by laser operators with the necessary qualifications and experience. This is a fundamental principle at CVLM.

CVLM uses a wide array of lasers to offer the following treatments: rejuvenation, ablation, pigment reduction, and improvement of vascular skin lesions. All our lasers have been selected based on how effectively they treat the conditions for which patients seek expert knowledge.

CVLM LASERS

Fractional Lasers

Fractional lasers emit multiple beams of light that target small areas of skin, leaving the surrounding tissue untouched. This promotes faster healing hence a reduced downtime. Fractional laser treatment can be used to improve the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and other blemishes. Fractional laser therapy is also effective in treating sun damage, age spots, and other signs of ageing. Fractional lasers have become increasingly popular as rejuvenative treatments because they allow for faster recovery with stunning results.


Fractional laser is performed under anaesthetic. We use a very robust topical anaesthetic compounded by a chemist that numbs the entire area to be treated. This means that the patient can enjoy a treatment without any discomfort.


Fractional laser treatments are typically safe and cause minimal discomfort. Side effects can include redness, swelling, and bruising, but these typically resolve within a few days. Fractional laser treatment offers a number of benefits over traditional laser therapies, making it a popular choice for many patients. If you are considering fractional laser treatment, be sure to book a consultation with our Doctor.

Ablative Lasers

Ablative lasers are used for multiple clinical reasons in Aesthetic medicine. Ablative resurfacing lasers are used for the treatment of photoaged skin, rhytides, and scars. Ablative lasers remove a layer of skin by vaporization. The laser beam is delivered in a pulsed or continuous mode. Ablative lasers cause coagulation and necrosis of tissue with thermal injury to the epidermis(top layer of your skin).


This causes your skin to peel off and new skin cells are formed shortly after. Ablative laser resurfacing is the gold standard for treating photoaged skin. Ablative lasers are also used to improve the appearance of rhytides and scars. There are different types of ablative lasers that can be used to treat these conditions. Ablative laser resurfacing is a safe and effective treatment when performed by a qualified physician.


Our Ablative lasers can used to treat moles (benign naevi), seborrheoic keratoses ( old age spots, barnacles) or solar keratoses. Ablative laser resurfacing is also the only proven treatment for active acne scars.


What to expect following Ablative laser resurfacing?


Most individuals will experience a mild amount of discomfort and swelling immediately following treatment. The treated area may also be red, bruised and swollen. These symptoms typically resolve within a few days. You will need to follow the post treatment instructions provided by the team.


The full effect of the laser treatment is not realised until a few months later. At this stage, the skin will have healed and any bruising or swelling will have resolved. The newly resurfaced skin will be noticeably smoother, with a more even tone and texture.

Photoacoustic Lasers

Photoacoustic Lasers are lasers that are designed to reduce pigmentation in the skin. They work by using a high-intensity light to create a sound wave that is then used to break down the pigmentation. Photoacoustic lasers are considered to be one of the most effective treatments for pigmentation and are often used to improve conditions such as Melasma or to remove tattoos. Photoacoustic lasers can be used on all skin types and do not require any special preparation.


Typically patients may require several treatments before they achieve a result that they are happy with. In all these laser treatments, it is wise to have a conservative approach to treatment rather than an aggressive approach.


Some of the common side effects of Photoacoustic laser treatment include swelling, redness and bruising. These side effects are generally mild and last for a few days. Photoacoustic lasers are considered to be one of the safest laser treatments available and have been used for many years without any major safety concerns.


Photoacoustic lasers are a popular choice for laser treatment because they are effective and safe.

Vascular/Redness Laser

Facial veins, rosacea all respond to a vascular laser. Redness can be quite stressful for many patients.


The V beam (candela) laser is a very effective laser used to treat facial veins. It improves rosacea to a certain extent however, it is frankly impossible to make Rosacea completely vanish. The treatment outcome in this instance is to reduce the intensity of the redness due to rosacea.


This laser is a very well known laser with lots of research papers. It is also used to treat Portwine stains with satisfactory outcomes.
