If you are a new client to Laser Clinics and haven't had a Skin Treatment with us before we suggest contacting your local clinic to 'book a Complimentary Consultation' prior to purchasing to determine if this treatment is best for you.

Both treatments may cause some mild discomfort, depending on the area being treated and skin condition we are focusing on.  We recommend avoiding the use of topical aesthetic creams to numb the skin beforehand. Numbing creams can interfere with the skin's natural feedback processes, which may prevent therapists from accurately assessing the appropriate endpoint and could potentially affect the overall treatment outcome.

Laser Skin Tightening is designed to stimulate dermal collagen production and help with the regeneration of damaged skin cells. Skin tightening works on both Type 1 + Type 3 collagen which is a fibrous protein, found in the extra cellular matrix (Dermis). This treatment involves heat energy being delivered into the skin to penetrate deep down whilst protecting the upper visible layers and keeping them intact. It does this by deep thermal effect within the dermis causing collagen contracture and denaturation. This will then induce growth factors and stimulate new collagen synthesis which will then replace the old collagen with new fibres that are more compact and organized to give a less wrinkled appearance. Results are seen 3 months post treatments.

Everyone's skin is different and everyone will have different skin goals. At Laser Clinics, we truly love educating people about their skin. That's why we offer FREE consultations to give you access to highly trained Skin Therapists that will arm you with all the information you need about the treatments that are best suited to you. And, through a personalised treatment plan, we'll work together to help you achieve glowing skin. Our consultations are no obligation. So what have you got to lose?

Yes. Skin Needling promotes the production of collagen and it's this collagen production that builds the tissue within the stretch marks back up.  The result is that the stretch mark and acne scarring indentation is reduced and so does the colour of these scars, in some cases making them disappear completely.

We treat all areas of the body including; the face, neck, back, breasts, decolletage, hips, stomach and hands. 

Depending on your skin type and condition, the treatments required may vary. Your Skin Therapist will assess the treatment area and provide a tailored program for you. Generally, we recommend a minimum of 6 treatments at fortnightly or monthly intervals. Maintenance treatments will be required to upkeep results.

Treatments required will depend on the individual and their treatment goals. Our experienced team of Therapists will tailor a treatment plan at the consultation and will continually review it throughout the program. For general maintenance, we recommend at a minimum of 2 treatments on a weekly basis for optimum results.

Depending on the skin type and concern, the number and strength of the Cosmetic Grade Peel treatment varies between individuals. Your experienced Therapist will assess your skin to provide a tailored treatment plan. For general maintenance, we recommend this treatment to be performed at monthly intervals.

It depends on the strength of the Cosmetic Grade Peel and the individual skin type. For our Calm and Hydrate Peel, there is no downtime, and you may wear light mineral makeup directly after the treatment. For our Clear and Bright Peel and Anti-Ageing Peel treatments, there is minimal downtime and your Therapist will recommend you consistently reapply skinstitut Repair Balm for 3-5 days to aid the healing process. For the Advanced Brightening and Clearing Peel, there is downtime and you will experience redness, slight swelling, and flaking for at least 7-14 days. We recommend the LED Yellow Light Therapy together with the treatment to reduce the inflammation and accelerates wound healing.

No. In some circumstances, you may not experience visible peeling. This depends on your skin's condition at the time and/or the strength of the peel. You will still experience skin texture improvement due to the accelerated cell turnover rate the Cosmetic Grade Peel treatments produce.

This will depend on the type of peel used, the condition of the skin, medication taken and general health and well-being. Certain medications and health issues may be a contra indication to a chemical peel as they can increase adverse side effects. Redness, inflammation and mild to moderate peeling is usual for 1 – 5 days post peel. The stronger the peel, the more intense the redness, peeling and downtime.

The importance of preparation and aftercare is to ensure that you receive maximum results with minimal side effects to the treatments we offer. This includes our skin and laser treatments and can even be applied to cosmetic injections. For example, our 5 a-day home care pack has everything you need for before and after your treatments. We'll tailor the 5 Skinsitut products based on your skin type and the treatments you opt for. Skinstitut is founded on the belief that serious, high- end skincare should be accessible to everyone. For this reason, we offer the most cost-effective, cosmedical range in-clinic using top-quality, potent, cutting-edge ingredients that will maximise and prolong treatment results whilst helping heal the skin post-treatment. 

 

 

Each person’s skin is different – so your response will vary, but the majority of our skin treatments require no downtime. Your Skin Therapist will take you through a post-treatment care regime that will fast-track your results. 

Skin Needling and Fractional RF are similar in the sense they both cause a controlled wound which then triggers a healing response where new collagen and elastin fibres are produced. Skin Needling is an organic way of stimulating Collagen and Elastin production whereas Fractional RF uses a combination of dermal stamping and Radio Frequency. Radio Frequency uses deep thermal effects which result in contraction of the collagen fibres. This will give a tightening effect after the treatment.

Each procedure is different – our less invasive treatments (such as Microdermabrasion and superficial Cosmedical Grade Peels) give more immediate results, and our more invasive treatments (such as Fractional RF Skin Needling and deeper Cosmedical Grade Peels) may take up to a month to see full results. These treatments, however, have more lasting impacts than our less invasive treatments. At your complimentary skin consultation, your Skin Therapist will advise on a tailored treatment plan.
