Most treatments have little to no downtime. You may experience mild redness or sensitivity for a few hours afterward, but you can return to normal activities straight away unless otherwise advised. For more intense Pico Laser sessions, there will be redness and mild swelling for several days, followed by peeling of the poigmented areas.
For CO2 Laser treatments there is extended downtime. You can expect 2-4 days of redness and peeling, followed for 5-7 days of redness. By day 9-10 you will look incredible and fresh. In some cases where more intense CO2 is needed, there will be continued redness for 1-2 weeks. Important to note is that you must look after your new skin well! SPF daily is a must for at least 3-4 weeks following CO2 treatment and sun exposure MUST be limited.
-
Results can be seen after just one session, but for best results, a series of 3–6 treatments is usually recommended, depending on your skin goals. I'll personalise a treatment plan for you during your first visit.
CO2 Laser is more intense and drastic results show from the very first treatment.
-
Most clients describe the sensation as mild heat or a light snap on the skin. It's very tolerable, and I take steps to ensure you're comfortable throughout your treatment.
-
Absolutely! All treatments are suitable for both men and women.

Please avoid tanning, sun exposure, and active skincare ingredients (like retinol or acids) for 48 hours before your appointment. Arrive with clean skin — no makeup or heavy moisturisers. For more intense CO2 treatments you must discontinue active ingredient skincare a week prior and you can’t be on accutane for at least 3 months prior to CO2 laser.
