Enhanced Skin Rejuvenation

Enhanced Skin Rejuvenation (ESR) is a revolutionary skin treatment using lasers to treat a variety of skin conditions including Rosacea, Pigmentation, Broken Capillaries and Wrinkles and to improve facial toning.

Skin Rejuvenation can be used on the face, neck, chest, hands, arms and legs!

How Does It Work?

Laser light is absorbed by pigmented skin or red areas, where it is converted to heat causing a break-up in the pigment.

With broken capillaries and spider veins, the laser energy is absorbed by the pigment in the blood and collapses the unwanted vein.

For wrinkles and skin toning, the laser stimulates collagen growth. ESR is a completely personalised package, so our Clinical Therapist will examine your skin and recommend the best laser treatment for you, creating a completely bespoke treatment plan based on your concerns, lifestyle and budget.

Results

The effects are cumulative. After the first treatment you will see improvements to broken capillaries, small facial veins and some pigmented areas within a few days. Other improvements such as Wrinkle Reduction and toning will be more subtle and may take 1-3 months. Because the results are more subtle, friends and family may notice results before you can see them in yourself, but we like to take a before photo to compare results at the end of your journey where you will see a direct comparison!

With each subsequent treatment, subtle changes will accumulate until you have achieved the improvement you desire.

Who Is The Treatment Suitable For?

Enhanced Skin Rejuvenation (ESR) is suitable for anyone, although it is not appropriate for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. It is particularly helpful for those with Rosacea or lots of broken veins on the face.

What Happens During The Procedure?

ESR takes approximately 30-60 minutes. Some gel will be applied and the laser tip will then cool the skin as light is fired into the skin. 

What Are The Side Effects Or Risks?

Immediately following the procedure you may experience some redness, swelling and/or a slight darkening of pigmented areas. The redness and swelling will usually disappear within 1-3 days. Darkened pigmentation may persist and peel lightly for up to one week.

Additionally, hair growth may be weakened in the treated area, although it is not the intended purpose of this particular treatment. 

Avoid using products such as Ginkgo Biloba before this treatment – it thins blood and can lead to unusual bleeding and bruising. Similarly, avoid St John’s Wort, and any Retinol for 2 days which can cause excessive sensitivity to sunlight.

What Results Can I Typically Expect?

A series of 3-6 treatments, spaced 2-4 weeks apart is our standard recommendation for ESR.

However, after the first treatment you will see improvements to the pigmented area within a few days. With each subsequent treatment, subtle changes will accumulate until you have achieved the improvement you desire. Occasionally, more treatments may be needed and occasional maintenance treatments may be advised for optimal, long-lasting results.

ESR Aftercare

Make–up can be applied to the treated area once all redness has settled, approximately 60 minutes after your treatment, but ideally not till the next day. It is extremely important to apply an SPF 50 sun block to the treated area and avoid sun exposure on a daily basis to prevent additional sun damage, or exposure to hot sunshine for roughly 10 days.
