Birthmarks can be a troubling and unsightly condition. Often present since birth, although they can present later in life, birthmarks can appear on any part of the body, and can range in intensity from barely visible to incredibly striking. Birthmarks are generally brown or red in colour, but can also originate from other skin appendages such as hair or sebaceous glands.

Birthmarks are best treated with laser or Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). Both work in a similar way, as the light is focused selectively on the unwanted blood vessels creating the birthmark. The laser or IPL light passes through the skin without altering it, and selectively removes the blood vessel beneath it. The stain fades over a number of treatment sessions.

These lasers can remove excessive pigment without changing the texture or colour of the surrounding skin.

The Carbon Laser Facial is a laser procedure for enhancing the skin's radiance and promoting a smooth, glowing complexion. It helps to reduce imperfections like enlarged pores and acne, which originate from the outer skinlayer.

This is a non-surgical procedure also known as carbon skin rejuvenation. It is a two stage process which freshens the complexion by removing the outer layers of dead skin cells from your face. It gradually reduces pore size and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. White heads and black heads are also often removed by this technique. Removing the dead skin layers also allows your moisturizer to work more effectively at home.

A course of 6 treatments is required but you will see results after just one treatment. We advise you to have a treatment once per month and further treatments or top-up treatments may be required depending on your lifestyle and skin care routine. This is a pain-free treatment and at worst you will feel a slight tingling sensation but most of our clients actually find this sensation quite pleasent!

Please note that Carbon Laser facials are not suitable for all skin types but please take advantage of our free consultation where we can accurately assess your skin and carry out a patch test for any adverse reactions.

Like all body ink, eyebrow tattoos can be removed with laser technology.

A laser emits short pulses of light energy into your tattoo. The ink particles in your skin absorb the wavelengths of the laser and shatter the ink particles.

With each treatment, the ink particles break down further and further until they are gone.

In some clients this more sessions may be necessary for complete removal. You will begin to see results immediately after your first treatment.

Although there is a risk of scarring with any laser, in most cases, scarring is not a significant risk for tattoo removal with us because of the technology we use.

So does it actually hurt?  The pain differs from person to person and your individual pain threshold, some people liken it to an elastic band snapping on their skin but most people just feel a mild heat sensation.

All Tattoo removals are subject to consultation and a skin patch test before treatment commences.
