Laser Facial Rejuvenation
In London

During an in depth skin consultation, one of our highly skilled and experienced Aesthetic Practitioners will assess your suitability for treatment. They will take a set of baseline photographs so that you can track the results on your skin journey with us. The Aesthetic Practitioner will create a bespoke treatment plan and skincare regime, tailored to your skin needs and goals, and will also advise on all the necessary precare and aftercare information. This will be the perfect time for you to ask any questions you may have regarding the treatment so that we may be able to address any of your concerns.

A patch test will also be carried out to ensure your safety. Prior to treatment you will be asked to avoid sun exposure, sun beds and tanning preparations.

During the treatment your skin will be cleaned and you will be asked to wear special goggles to protect your eyes.

The laser causes regeneration from within the dermis with no injury to the skin surface however your skin may appear slightly red immediately after treatment, for up to 48 hours. You may still however resume your daily activities.
