If you’ve ever wondered what skin rejuvenation is, let’s now answer all the questions that may be going through your mind.  As the body’s largest organ, your skin is your body’s first line of defence against harmful UV rays, wind damage, and other elements.  This can cause skin imperfections like uneven skin texture, age spots, freckles, and redness.

Skin rejuvenation is a way of reversing the damage that your skin has sustained over the years, and returning some of its more youthful properties. Skin rejuvenation treatments at Clinica Lase such as Intense Pulsed Light, Skin Needling, Pico Genesis, Pico FX, Clear and Brilliant are all non-invasive treatments that promote neocollagenesis whilst improving unwanted reds and browns that appear on the skin.   

A simpler way of understanding what is laser skin rejuvenation is to think of it as intentionally causing small and perfectly controlled wounds directly on problem areas of the skin, prompting your body to start its natural healing processes and create healthy new cells.

Some noticeable benefits you will find post treatment are a improvement in fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, rough or dull skin, enlarged pores, acne scarring, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, skin irregularities, blemishes, pigmentation, age spots and redness.

CHEMICAL PEELS

A chemical peel is a skin treatment used to resurface the skin and promote regeneration of cells, improving the skin’s overall appearance and reducing blackheads and congestion.

At Clinica Lase, your chemical peel will involve the application of a solution that works to quickly remove the outer layer of the dermis promoting skin turnover. The fresh skin that is unveiled will give you a clearer, brighter, more glowing complexion.

Your clinician will advice you on whether you need a superficial, medium or deeply penetrating peel depending on your unique skin condition. The level of peel will determine the length of downtime you require and your final result.

LED LIGHT THERAPY

LED Light Therapy is a painless, non-invasive treatment that uses high-output, Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to treat specific skin concerns. When using LED for blackheads, your clinician will only choose a setting that emits light at the wavelength that skin bacteria is highly sensitive to, killing the bacteria and reducing the development of new blackheads. One of the best things about LED light therapy is that it’s a completely safe, affordable treatment with no downtime required. 

LED light therapy will often be suggested by your clinician as a great complement to another blackhead treatment solution such as microdermabrasion because of it’s soothing and rejuvenating properties.

BLACKHEAD SKIN CARE PRODUCTS

Following any Clinica Lase blackhead treatment it’s imperative that you follow up with the appropriate at-home aftercare. Part of that aftercare will require you to use quality skin care products that nourish the skin rather than strip it of natural oils or cause irritation. Your Clinica Lase clinician will talk you through the right products for you and your unique skin needs.

We’re here to answer all your technical questions.

Depending on what treatment is best chosen for you by your dermal clinician, all treatments work by causing intentional yet highly controlled damage to the problem cells while leaving the healthy surrounding skin unaffected.

This triggers the body’s natural healing processes, causing it to break down and discard the damaged cells and grow new, healthy cells in their place. 

The process simultaneously promotes collagen growth in the deepest layers of the skin, giving your skin more elasticity and volume.  This has the added benefits of reducing pore sizes, fine lines, and wrinkles.

PRE TREATMENT

Prior to your treatment, your clinician will ask you a series of questions about yourself, your lifestyle, your particular skin concerns, and your desired outcomes from the treatment.

It will also be important for you to avoid excessive sun exposure for a month before your first treatment, including fake tans and solariums.

POST TREATMENT

After your first and each subsequent treatment, your clinician will explain to you exactly what you need to do to reduce any discomfort and get the best results from your treatment.

In most cases, you will be recommended a gentle skin care routine which includes staying away from any acids or retinols. A post care reparative serum will be administered post treatment and your clinician will recommend a post recovery cream to apply for the next following days whilst you heal. 

Your clinician will also explain the importance of avoiding excessive sun exposure and chlorinated pools in the days following each treatment.

During the treatment you will experience will slightly differ depending on the chosen  treatment for you by your dermal clinician to target your concerns. Sensation can be described as similar to small rubber bands flicking the skin, mild scratching and a slow increase of warmth. All of which are normal sensations whilst having treatment. 

Immediately following treatment, you can expect to feel slightly sunburned, and you may experience redness for a few hours following the treatment.

If you have any concerns about the treatment itself and how you feel during and immediately after, please speak to your clinician during your pre-treatment consultation.  Rest assured that your concerns are completely normal, and everyone who has skin rejuvenation treatments reports feeling a little nervous beforehand.

Down time involved will vary between treatments, but can be from 5 to 10 days post treatment. We generally say your skin will be best at the two week mark post treatment. 

Provided you’re prepared to be mindful of sun exposure and avoid chlorinated pools following your treatments, you can go back to your normal everyday life between every skin rejuvenation treatment session. Maintaining your results with the prescribed cosmeceuticals by your dermal clinician will improve the efficacy of the treatment in between appointments.
