Facial Skin Treatment Cosmetic laser treatment helps reverse the signs of sun damaged skin. Below are answers to some of the most common patient questions.
Q: How does it work?
A: Facial laser treatment works by directing a beam of light to an irregularity in the skin, such as enlarged blood vessels or irregular chromophore.
Q: How does this treatment differ from chemical peels and dermabrasion?
A: Unlike other treatments that remove an outer layer of skin and require significant healing time, laser treatment works by gently penetrating the skin to destroy the underlying vessels and pigment that are the cause of the problem.

A: Overall, treatments are gentle and mild, causing only slight discomfort with minimal side effects.
Q: How many treatments are required?
A: The number of required treatments is dependent on such factors as lesion depth and size.

What our clients say......
Savinder has treated me for many areas for hair removal and sun damage freckles, all for which I have seen brilliant results. The sun damage treatment is instant and I had much clearer skin within ten days. I'm so pleased with the results - it's so lovely not to worry about any form of removal and all the issues that come with that. Savinder is fantastic and I wouldn't hesitate recommending her services. Heather from Datchet
