Laser Treatments

Laser treatment is a process which can be used to treat a wide range of complaints, including tattoo removal, acne scars, skin pigmentation, unwanted hair removal on body and face, vascular lesions on face and body, skin rejuvenation, skin complaints such as psoriasis and vitiligo.

The process is becoming more and more prevalent in the UK as health professionals are realising its versatility and how it can be used to treat a large number of potentially debilitating complaints and improve health, looks and confidence.

Cindy is more than happy to discuss the various uses of laser treatment, what is on offer at the Clinic and how it could help you. Visit the ï¿½Contactï¿½ section to arrange a confidential consultation, or alternatively just call for an informal chat.

Laser Treatments FAQ

What is laser treatment and how does it work?
The word ï¿½laserï¿½ is derived from an acronym ï¿½ light amplified and stimulated by emissions of radiation. After an initial consultation to gauge your particular skin type, the practitioner will select an appropriate wavelength for the laser. It will then emit a light sympathetic to this. The laser will work in different ways depending on what it is being used to treat. For example, in the case of hair removal, the laser will target the pigment within the root of the individual hair. To treat brown spots or pigmentation, an alternative wavelength is selected, which in turn targets melanin in the skin.

How many sessions will I need?
As laser treatment is used for such a variety of purposes, it is very difficult to provide a general timescale. For example, for tattoo removal, which is a lengthier process than hair removal, can take up to twenty sessions, depending upon the intricacy and detail of the tattoo. Hair removal generally requires between four and six sessions. For laser skin resurfacing, usually only one treatment is needed, although a second may be recommended for severe skin problems.

Do I need to take any precautions after laser treatment?
It is recommended that you keep treated areas out of direct sunlight until completely healed. Certain laser procedures require a longer sun-free period, but you will be advised of this during your personal consultation. Cindy Knight Clinic is happy to recommend gentle and effective products to use on your skin after treatments, to help the healing process and encourage healthy, clear skin.
