Laser & IPL

About Laser & IPL

Laser and IPL can be used to improve different aspects of the skin, from collagen production and texture to pigmentation, redness and uneven skin tone.

Your skin, concerns and goals determine which approach is most appropriate, and sometimes combining technologies gives us the most comprehensive result.

The Technologies

Laser Genesis

Collagen stimulation • Skin rejuvenation • Redness

Laser Genesis is a non-invasive laser treatment that uses controlled heat to gently stimulate the deeper layers of the skin.

By creating a carefully controlled thermal response, Laser Genesis encourages collagen remodelling and can improve the appearance of fine lines, texture, redness and overall skin quality.

What can Laser Genesis help with?

• Fine lines and early signs of ageing
• Uneven skin texture
• Enlarged pores
• Diffuse redness and flushing
• Uneven skin tone
• Dull or tired-looking skin
• Acne-prone skin
• Overall skin rejuvenation

Laser Genesis is particularly suited to those looking for gradual improvement in skin quality without any downtime.

What does it feel like?

Laser Genesis creates a warming sensation as the laser passes across the skin, the intensity of this heat builds throughout the treatment but it is generally well tolerated.

IPL

Pigmentation • Redness • Uneven skin tone

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) uses a broad spectrum of light to target specific structures within the skin, including melanin and haemoglobin.

This makes IPL particularly useful for addressing visible pigmentation, sun damage and vascular redness, helping to create a clearer and more even complexion.

What can IPL help with?

• Sun damage and pigmentation
• Freckles and age spots
• Uneven skin tone
• Superficial redness
• Multiple fine broken capillaries
• General complexion clarity

IPL is primarily about improving the colour and clarity of the skin, rather than being a collagen-focused treatment like Laser Genesis.

What does it feel like?

IPL is usually felt as a series of quick flashes or snaps against the skin. The treated area may appear temporarily pink or flushed, while pigmentation can become darker before gradually fading or shedding.

Looking to treat thread veins?

IPL can be useful where there is widespread redness or multiple superficial vessels, but individual or more prominent vessels may be better suited to a targeted vascular treatment.

Your Laser & IPL Treatments

The technologies above can be used individually or combined depending on what your skin needs.

Laser Facial

Ideal for: rosacea, diffuse redness, fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged pores, dullness and overall skin rejuvenation.

2D Facial

Laser Genesis + IPL

A combination treatment that brings together the collagen-stimulating benefits of Laser Genesis with the pigment and vascular-targeting benefits of IPL.

IPL works on the colour and clarity of the skin, while Laser Genesis works on skin quality, texture and collagen, making this a more comprehensive approach to overall rejuvenation.

Ideal for: pigmentation, sun damage, redness, uneven skin tone and overall skin rejuvenation.

3D Facial

Medical Microneedling + Laser Genesis + Dermalux

Our most comprehensive combination treatment, bringing together three technologies to address collagen, texture, firmness, redness and overall skin quality.

Medical Microneedling stimulates the skin's natural repair process and encourages collagen production.

Laser Genesis provides controlled thermal stimulation to support collagen remodelling while helping to improve redness and overall skin quality.

Dermalux LED uses clinically proven wavelengths of light to support the skin following treatment.

Together, these technologies provide a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation and remodelling.

Which Treatment Is Right For Me?

You don't need to work this out yourself.

During your consultation, we'll look at your skin, your concerns and what you're hoping to achieve before recommending the most appropriate treatment or combination.

Sometimes one technology is all you need. Sometimes combining treatments allows us to address several aspects of the skin at once.

Who Is It Not Suitable For?

Laser and IPL treatments aren't suitable for everyone. Your suitability will be assessed during your consultation, taking into account your skin, medical history, medications and any recent treatments.

These treatments may not be suitable if you:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have an active infection, open wound, active eczema or significant inflammation in the treatment area
• Have a current or recent sunburn or have recently been heavily exposed to the sun or used sunbeds
• Have a history of photosensitivity or take medication that increases sensitivity to light
• Are taking or have recently taken isotretinoin (Roaccutane) - the appropriate waiting period will be discussed during consultation
• Have a history of skin cancer, or have an active or suspicious lesion in the treatment area
• Have certain medical conditions or take medications that may affect healing or make light-based treatment unsuitable
• Have a history of abnormal scarring or significant post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which may require additional assessment

Please tell us about any medication, medical conditions, recent procedures or changes to your skin during your consultation. Your treatment will only be carried out when it is considered appropriate and safe for you.
