Consultation

Enhancing skin texture and tone through laser therapy begins with an in-depth consultation. In this session, I assess the patient’s unique skin characteristics, discuss concerns related to texture and tone, and establish realistic expectations and treatment goals. Understanding the contributing factors to each patient’s skin condition is vital during this stage.

Pre-Treatment Preparation

Before the procedure, clients receive personalised guidance on pre-treatment preparations. Instructions may include discontinuing specific skincare products, adopting a suitable skincare routine, and ensuring proper hydration. Tailored pre-treatment care ensures optimal results and minimises potential side effects during and after the fractional CO2 laser treatment.

Procedure

The treatment involves the use of a fractional CO2 laser, emitting precise beams of light to target imperfections affecting skin texture and tone. The fractional approach allows for controlled and targeted treatment, addressing specific areas of concern. The procedure aims to stimulate collagen production, promote skin renewal, and improve overall skin texture.

How It Works

Contributing factors to varying skin textures and tones can include sun damage, aging, genetics, and environmental factors. The fractional CO2 laser works by delivering focused energy to the deeper layers of the skin, triggering collagen synthesis, and promoting cellular turnover. This process helps minimise imperfections, such as fine lines, uneven pigmentation, and rough texture, resulting in a smoother and more even complexion.

Recovery

Post-procedure, patients may experience mild redness and swelling, which typically subsides within a few days. Patients are advised to follow specific post-treatment care instructions, including the use of recommended skincare products and sun protection. The recovery period is generally short, allowing patients to resume their regular activities with minimal downtime.

Results

The full results of fractional CO2 laser therapy for skin texture and tone become noticeable gradually. Patients often observe a significant improvement in skin smoothness, reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, and an overall more radiant complexion. Continued collagen stimulation enhances the skin’s structure and contributes to long-lasting results.

Follow-Up Sessions

Depending on individual skin concerns and response to treatment, multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal and sustained results. These sessions are typically spaced several weeks apart, allowing for gradual and comprehensive improvement in skin texture and tone. Regular follow-up sessions help address specific concerns and contribute to the maintenance of a healthy and rejuvenated complexion.
