PhotoFacial

Resurfacing the skin with laser treatment is becoming an increasingly popular way of tackling some of the key signs of ageing.

Effective in treating both superficial and deep skin issues, the treatment precisely targets specific desired areas, stimulating your body’s own natural healing process to replace damaged cells with fresh, glowing skin.

The S-Thetics Clinic PhotoFacial with the Icon MaxG is our advanced laser treatment to address facial ageing concerns such as pigmentation, sun spots and redness.

The detail

Using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), it creates wavelengths of specifically filtered light to target melanin (brown pigment in age spots and freckles) or haemoglobin (red blood cells in blood vessels).

The laser delivers low energy light to the skin where imperfections are found and, as the skin absorbs this energy, it breaks up, causing the imperfections to fade. 

And that’s not all – the light energy also increases the production of collagen in the skin, which helps to improve tightness and texture of the skin over time for a bright, healthy complexion.

Results are both immediate and progressive as over time skin the skin continues to create new collagen, making it feel softer and smoother, with a brighter appearance and more even skin tone.

Please note:  Individual results may vary

Ideal treatment for

Pigmentation

Pigmentation is the medical term for patches or multiple areas on the skin’s surface that appear darker than the patient’s natural skin tone. This occurs when melanin, a naturally occurring pigment in the body, builds up and deposits in one particular spot; thus resulting in it taking on a darker appearance.

Spots & Blackheads

Spots, pimples, and blackheads are common, often milder forms of acne, a condition that occurs when dead skin cells and oil clog pores and follicles in the skin. Unlike whiteheads, blackheads are open to the air, causing the clogged material to become oxidized and develop a darker coloration.
