Laser Skin Revitalization
PicoSure’s unique energy delivery is a breakthrough for patients’ seeking a way to improve their skin and reduce signs of aging but who don’t want to deal with the risks, pain and downtime of traditional laser treatments. Using highly targeted energy, PicoSure gently disrupts the particles responsible for a range of pigment conditions like freckles, sunspots and other discolouration. But there’s more. With the revolutionary Focus lens, PicoSure harnesses the latest breakthroughs in medical science to improve wrinkles, age lines and even acne scars. Unlike other lasers with similar results, PicoSure doesn’t rely on heat to burn away and destroy skin to force the body to heal.
Before and After
Frequently asked questions
-
Other lasers promise to treat wrinkles, acne scars and blemishes. Only PicoSure and its PressureWave technology can deliver impressive results without the inconvenience, pain and downtime of other procedures. Known as cell signalling, biological communication occurs when cells are injured and release proteins, which are then detected by surrounding cells to trigger a healing response.
-
With PicoSure, procedures typically take about 10-15 minutes.
-
Most people experience no pain and describe treatments as feeling like the snapping of a rubber band, but your treatment provider may offer numbing cream to minimize any possible discomfort. After treatment, most patients experience 1-24 hours of minor swelling and redness. Because PicoSure doesn’t burn and damage the surface of the skin, make-up, moisturizes and sun screens may be applied immediately following treatment.
Laser Pigment Removal
Laser Pigment Removal works to safely and effectively reduce the appearance of freckles, pigmentation, and post-trauma pigmentation including acne scars and age spots. The laser targets only the pigmented lesion in the skin which absorbs the light, without damaging the surrounding skin.
-
Most appointments are complete in 15-30 minutes.
-
Various brown and red pigment as long as it is not raised. We recommend a Dermatologist assess any pigment that is new or has changes in appearance before having it lasered.
-
Sometimes the pigment can look worse as it sloughs off. People often describe this as looking like coffee grounds. Protecting your skin from the sun is #1 in importance. Not picking or exfoliating the area while it heals is also very important.
Micro-needling
Delve into the realm of targeted skin rejuvenation with micro-needling at The Look Lab. Our minimally invasive procedure employs fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels on the skin's surface. This precise technique stimulates collagen production, triggering a cascade of regenerative processes that lead to firmer, smoother skin.
Our Micro-needling Facial is for those wishing to target pigmentation concerns, acne scars and skin elasticity issues. By creating “micro” injury to the skin, your natural healing response is triggered to promote collagen and elastin synthesis resulting in healthy tissue generation.
