Skin Conditions

At some point, most people will experience a slight acne breakout. But for others, it goes way beyond that. Acne is a skin condition which can affect men and women of any age and can lead to scarring and/or uneven skin tone. One effective treatment for acne is laser skin revitalisation, a non-invasive procedure which could leave you with the flawless, even skin you long for.

Crow’s feet are the clusters of little lines that appear around our eyes are we get older. Age and expressions create these wrinkles which are also known as ‘laugh lines‘. For many, crow’s feet are one of the most noticeable signs of ageing and can ruin an otherwise youthful appearance. Wrinkles can also form in the forehead (frown lines), around the lips or down the sides of the mouth (marionette lines), and in the neck, and chest area. Protein injections can be used to smooth out these fine lines. Your neck can also show your age due to muscles called the platysmal bands contracting and becoming prominent. Wrinkle-reducing injections can also be used to correct this issue.

It is impossible to live without acquiring some scars and damage to the skin. Ageing, the sun and climate, and simple day-to-day living in urban areas leave marks on your skin. Some scars and stretch marks can be more noticeable than others and can make us feel self-conscious. Most people have some stretch marks somewhere; some are faint silvery lines, others can be red or purple. Pregnancy, weight loss or gain, or growth spurts can produce ‘fresh’ stretchmarks which you may feel spoil your appearance. Equally, scars from an accident or surgery can be deemed ‘ugly’, whilst the sun can create all sorts of damage to your skin, from discolouration to ‘sun spots‘ which can age you. Non-invasive laser skin revitalisation can be used to correct all of these skin conditions, as well as facial veins, deep lines, sunken eyes, an unsatisfactory lip shape and/or older-looking hands, laser treatments can effectively resurface the skin and treat multiple skin conditions.

Lymphedema is a condition which results in swelling in the body. It is usually present in the arms or legs and occurs when the lymphatic system doesn’t work due to a genetic factor (primary lymphedema) or is compromised, such as from cancer treatment, infection or injury (secondary lymphedema). Although there is no known cure, it is possible to manage and minimise the symptoms of lymphedema, through manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) which encourages the body’s natural lymphatic drainage to help reduce the swelling.

Having excessive body hair or hair in unwanted places can be embarrassing, inconvenient and time-consuming to get rid of. Many women have stray hairs above their top lip, under their chin or on their cheeks. Age, complexion and conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and other hormone imbalances can all result in the unwanted face and body hair in women and even children. It’s not just women who suffer from unwanted body hair though. Men with high levels of testosterone typical lose the hair on their heads early but have very hairy bodies. As with women, excessive hair or just hair ‘where it shouldn’t be’ such as the back or palms of the hands can be uncomfortable and disconcerting. Whatever the reason, laser hair removal can provide a fast, safe and effective solution to unwanted hair.
