CONDITIONS WE TREAT

FACIALS

Sometimes daily cleansing and moisturising at home just isn't enough.

As well as the relaxation experience you feel during a facial, a professional treatment can make your skin feel alive again by renewing the damaged cells and improving your complexion.

Here at the Hyde Park Laser and Skin Clinic we have several facials available, ranging from deep cleanse facials to high-end active product facials.

We offer facials for both men and women of all ages as well as specific teenager treatments.

Initially your skin care professional will discuss your concerns and note anything you wish to improve about your skin. Your skin will be cleansed and assessed, followed by exfoliation, vitamin serums, massage and a mask. Extractions and other advanced electrotherapies may be incorporated into your treatment. You will leave feeling smooth, revived and fresh.

FAQ

What conditions can be corrected with a facial treatment?

• Sensitivity
• Acne
• Oily skin
• Dry skin
• Sun damaged and prematurely aged skin
• Congested skin with blackheads and whiteheads
• Combination skin – oily and dry
• Dark circles and puffiness around the eyes
  

What are the advantages of a facial treatment?

Facial treatments vary depending on the individuals needs and will be tailored to suit you by your skincare professional. Generally a professional facial treatment will use a blend of products and ingredients which are stronger than homecare products and this will boost your everyday routine achieving greater results from what you already do for your skin. Advanced techniques and electrotherapies may be incorporated into the professional treatment to stimulate the deeper skin cells and assisting the delivery of key nutrients into the skin.

How many treatments will I need?

As everyone is different, your skincare professional will work with you to plan an individual and realistic course of treatment.
This may be once a week or even once every few months.

I have sensitive skin, can I have a facial?

Yes. Obviously if you have sensitive skin, the products used will be gentle and calming to minimise any adverse reactions. Sensitive skin can benefit from professional facial treatments as it is often an impaired barrier function which encourages the skin to overreact to products. Barrier function can be restored with protective hydration and vitamins and minerals.

ACNE SCARS

Acne scarring can occur in individuals with only minor acne or if the acne has been prolonged or severe. Generally an acne scar will appear if the acne has not been treated early and adequately.
If there is a family history of acne or acne scarring, it may increase your susceptibility to this problem.

Acne scars can range from red, sensitive skin to depressed indented scars that are thickened. Thickened types of red or brown scars are most commonly found on the jaw-line, back or chest. Indented scars, commonly referred to as ice pick scars, occur on the cheeks, chin and temples.

BROKEN CAPILLARIES

Broken capillaries, cherry spots, etc. can be easily removed using the Y-Lite laser. This laser emits a very thin beam which can be accurately passed over very fine capillaries, causing them to disappear instantly without causing any damage to the surrounding skin.

Whilst broken capillaries can be anywhere on the face, they are usually more common on the cheeks, nose and chin and respond extremely well with this type of laser treatment.

Cherry spots and red capillaries on the body can also be treated successfully with this laser.

Normally only one session is required and your results are immediate, with virtually no recovery time needed.

A consultation is necessary to assess your condition prior to treatment.

MICRODERMABRASION

Microdermabrasion is a safe, quick, convenient and effective treatment for all skin colours and types, from light to dark, dry to oily. It is particularly useful for people with dark skin who are unable to undergo a light based treatment.

Microdermabrasion can treat leathery and dull skin, reduce acne scarring, reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and smooth fine lines. This age-defying process can give a brighter, smoother appearance to any skin area in need of exfoliation such as the face, neck, hands and chest.

The benefits of microdermabrasion are crystal clear. They include:

These can now be successfully removed with laser without leaving a scar. Normally only one laser session is required.

All moles, sunspots etc. should be checked by your doctor or skin specialist prior to any laser removal treatment.

During your consultation with us we will assess the areas before laser treatment commences.

SKIN PEELS

Skin peels that use alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), such as glycolic, lactic and citric acids are considered the lightest of all peel solutions. These superficial peels are often referred to as "lunchtime peels" and have quickly become the popular peel of choice for those who cannot spare the time it takes to recover from more aggressive chemical peel solutions.

AHA peels provide gentle exfoliation and skin rejuvenation results that retexture, smooth and brighten the skin. Rough or dry patches can be resurfaced, uneven pigmentation spots can be reduced and the look of fine lines and wrinkles can be improved as cell turnover is increased and damaged skin cells are shed.

Various concentrations of AHA peels with high levels of glycolic and lactic acid are very effective for the improvement of acne by removing plugs of keratin, oil and dirt that often lead to outbreaks.

We offer several peels depending on the individual skin type and there are no side effects or recovery time required. Your skin will look and feel instantly smoother and fresher!

This treatment is excellent for:

• Lines and wrinkles
• Coarse skin
• Sun damage
• Pigmentation
• Acne and scarring
• Open pores
