Laser treatments tattoo hair removal Sydney pigmentation red vein

There is a little confusion in what a laser treatment is. This blog is an attempts to clarify what a laser treatment is and what differentiates the different treatment options.

This is sort of a wrong way around blog, normally a customers comes in and says I have this problem, skin concerns or that problem. Then it is up to the expert to work out how to give the customer the safest most effective treatment.

So, this is what the laser clinics expert thinks, what treatment or combination of treatments will give the customer the best results. It is also to demystify the terms that might be used and what skin treatments they are generally used for.

In general there are

• Plasma - electric plasma used to remove moles, skin tags and more
• RF - anti ageing skin tightening, fat and cellulite removal
• Fractional RF - tighten skin and fat removal usually treats the deeper layers
• HIFU - skin lifting and fat removal usually treats the deeper layers
• LED light therapy - skin lifting and helps healing
• Low level laser - fat and cellulite removal
• Non ablative laser - pigmentation, hair, red vein, fungal nail removal skin lifting and rejuvenation
• Ablative laser - tighten skin  and rejuvenation
• IPL - pigmentation, hair, red vein, fungal nail removal, skin lifting and rejuvenation

If I have missed some, sorry.

What is the difference between the skin treatments and laser?

Generally laser is more effective than IPL but it is a stronger skin treatment and delivers more energy to the area. Really this becomes quite complex give the number of treatments.

What quickly becomes apparent is the laser is very versatile and can do many things. But the question is what does it do best, now that's not an easy one to answer. Because there are so many variable’s and everyone is not the same. They don't have the same skin colour and that's an important factor.

Don't think I am trying to get myself out of a hole. But rather than try and work it out over the internet, come in for a free consultation. This is the safest and most effective way, get an expert to explain and give you guidance. If you are looking for removal prices look at our specials page or the online booking.
