SKIN REJUVENATION TREATMENT IN BURY ST EDMUNDS
Our skin rejuvenation treatment used laser to stimulates the fibroblast cells on your face, leading to increased production of new collagen and elastin/ tightening. The skin rejuvenation treatment also helps with acne issues by the laser absorbing by your skin and that helps to shut the follicle down.
Skin rejuvenation for acne
-
Acne is a very common skin condition that affects 95% of teenagers and adults to some extent over the course of their lifetime. Acne is commonly triggered by hormonal changes.
In response, the sebaceous gland (found in the hair follicle) produces too much oil, or ‘sebum’, which captures dead skin, debris and, in turn, clogs up the follicles. Bacteria builds up in the sebaceous (oil-producing) gland which travels up the hair follicle and out to the skin’s surface, this results in blackheads, whiteheads, red or pus-filled spots, and inflamed skin.
Acne is easily recognised by the appearance of the spots on the face, neck, chest, or back.
-
If you’re prone to folliculitis/ acne, our skin rejuvenation laser treatment is a great solution.
The laser light is absorbed by your skin and that helps to shut the follicle down, which, in turn, helps to eliminate the possibility of folliculitis/acne.
-
Laser light emitted directly targets the overactive sebaceous glands, greatly reducing the total number and severity of active lesions. This lessens inflammation and the frequency of breakouts.
The laser light stimulates the production of new collagen to improve skin texture and scarring and can also reduce the appearance of red or brown areas of skin that are often associated with acne breakouts.
-
A typical skin rejuvenation treatment session is approximately 30 minutes.
-
The skin rejuvenation treatment is mildly uncomfortable, but there is no need for anaesthesia and the procedure is actually quite quick.
Sensations vary but most describe this treatment as feeling like a very quick, hot pinprick.
Immediately after treatment the skin may appear red and a warm tingling sensation may be felt. Typically the skin is cooled to ease any discomfort and a calming gel is applied.
-
The number of sessions required varies from client to client dependant on many factors however, as a guideline, it is always recommended to complete a course of at least six sessions per treatment area.
Best results are seen following a minimum course of treatments.
6-8 sessions are recommened for optimum results.
-
Typically the treatments are best for someone with mild to moderate acne (i.e could have a range of blackheads, spots and oiliness) as the spots become more cystic and boil-sized we are more limited and find that in this situation it is best to see a dermatologist.
Our laser machine is only suitable for lighter skin tones on the fitzpatrick scale.
If you are pregnant or taking Roaccutane (an acne medication) it is best not to undergo laser treatment until you have been off the medication for a minimum of 6 months.

TREATMENT INFORMATION FOR SKIN REJUVENTATION
-
Do not use perfume products, makeup, deodorant, creams, oils on the relevant area 24 hours before each treatment.
Do not wax, bleach, pluck, or have electrolysis for at least 4 weeks prior to treatment. Shaving the area is okay!
Avoid exfoliation treatments or products containing retinol or strong AHA fruit acids 1 week prior to treatment.
Avoid wearing tight clothing when attending treatment
Avoid sun exposure for 4 weeks prior to treatment.
No false tan for at least 2 weeks before treatments
Use a minimum of spf 30 on exposed areas as laser cannot be applied on an active tan. But do not use sunscreen 24 hours prior to treatments.
Drinking coffee an hour or two before treatment may cause a heightened sensation whilst treating.
-
Treatment can be mildly uncomfortable but no anesthesia is required and most people describe the discomfort as moderate and acceptable and like a warm pin prick sensation.
Treatment times can vary but typically between 20-45 minutes
A treatment procedure will be tailored specifically to you. The process will include a light applicator that is placed onto the skin and a short pulse of light is released. The handpiece is then moved to the neighbouring area and the process is repeated until the entire area is treated. During treatment protective eye wear will be provided.
Precisely controlled short pulses of light are released that target discolouration (brown and red lesions) to create a more youthful, even complexion. In addition, this light results in the stimulation of the fibroblast cells, leading to increased production of new collagen and elastin. This improves the texture of the skin, evening out lumps and bumps whilst reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. If an Nd:YAG laser is used the skin will also become firmer, tighter and the appearance of scarring can be reduced.
-
The treated area may feel warm and sensitive for the first few days post-treatment.
Avoid sun exposure for a minimum of 7 days to reduce the risk of side effects and adverse events. - If sun avoidance is impossible apply a SPF 30+ every 2 hr
Make-up and products can be applied immediately after the treatment.
You may resume most activities immediately after treatment.
Avoid touching the area
If a slight reaction occurs, please apply Aloe Vera gel or antiseptic cream.
Apply a cold compress to the area to soothe
Please avoid hot baths/showers/steam baths/saunas/exfoliating treatments 1 week after treatments.
No exercise for 24 hours
Avoid swimming in strong chlorinated water for a few days
The skin may be quite red and slightly swollen after treatment but this usually subsides quickly. Very rarely a small blister may form and there can be temporary lightening or darkening of the skin. However, most people experience no side effects and any skin reaction usually disappears within a few hours.
Redness and a slight warming sensation are normal after treatment. A cooling pack is applied after treatment to calm the skin. You may see darkening of pigmented spots before they flake off, leading to a more even skin tone. Tightening of the skin should increase over the following months as new collagen is produced within the dermis.
Treatments are carried out every 2 to 3 weeks and 6 treatments are recommended for best results. Thereafter, top-up sessions are performed as required, but typically once or twice a year.
