More and more patients are asking us for advice on how to achieve the very best cosmetic results with minimal downtime.
With years of experience in Laser Technology we at Prescription Skin Care offer a wide range of treatment options.
These treatments are precise, effective, non-invasive, safe, and they come with minimal downtime.
Our laser system is designed to treat a full range of skin concerns. One being vascular lesions, for example, broken capillaries & spider veins which occur on the face, neck, décolletage, and legs.
These veins are often the result of the lifestyle we lead from sun-damage, extremes of temperature, dietary concerns, for example, eating spicy food, alcohol consumption, etc, as well as irritation and inflammation from acne.
We can treat different sizes and depth of veins using the appropriate spot size. The light from the laser is monochromatic meaning it only has one colour and one wave length. This allows for high selectivity of the target within the skin, which means there is greater precision in the treatment, and at the same time it protects the surrounding tissue.
These treatments are precise, effective, non-invasive, safe, and they come with minimal downtime.
With vein treatments, pulses of light energy are delivered to the veins. It is this light energy that causes the blood in the vein to coagulate and then the blood vessel is destroyed. The body eventually reabsorbs this and blood flow is redirected to the deeper veins bellow leaving the skin with a significant improvement.
At Prescription Skin Care we offer other modalities with our laser and Intense Pulsed Light system to increase skin clarity, better tone and texture, and to boost your collagen levels to meet your individual skin and beauty goals. Leaving you with naturally glowing skin.
We encourage patients to be careful when consulting with their Practitioner that they fully understand what is being offered, and to seek advice from someone with expertise who can deliver the results they are looking for.
