Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Laser skin rejuvenation is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that may assist with the appearance of uneven skin tone, sun damage, pigmentation, and textural irregularities. It is a suitable option for individuals seeking gradual and non-invasive improvement in the look of their skin.
This treatment uses laser technology to deliver light energy to targeted areas of the skin. This process may support natural skin renewal processes and help reduce the visible appearance of mild surface irregularities. A series of treatments may be recommended depending on individual skin type, concerns, and treatment goals.
Before proceeding with treatment, you will have a consultation with one of our qualified skin practitioners who will assess your skin and discuss options suitable for your individual needs. Results can vary between individuals based on factors such as skin condition, age, and lifestyle.
Please contact us to arrange a consultation to determine whether this treatment is appropriate for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
In general, skin rejuvenation can be understood as improvement of the skin texture (through skin tightening and reduction in pore size), skin lightening (by reducing pigment) and decreasing fine line and wrinkles and acne scarring.
This treatment is ideal for those looking for a safe and quick way to rejuvenate and revitalise their skin. It has become one of the procedures of choice among celebrities, as well as those who cannot afford time away from work to recover from more intense procedures, or who want a better solution to sun-damaged, ageing or acne-scarred skin.
Collagen provides the support network to our skin. As we age, the collagen breaks down causing lines and wrinkles. The laser works by stimulating collagen production, as it is able to penetrate up to 5mm into the skin – much further than any commercial skin products. As the new collagen is generated, lines and wrinkles are decreased.
Additionally, years of sun exposure can cause discolouration, large pores, and pigmented or red areas on the skin. Patients report, and studies have confirmed, that this procedure results in a refreshed appearance, smoother skin texture, an even skin tone, and a decrease in pore size. Those with difficult acne scarring will also notice some improvement.
- Laser ‘toning’: quick and painless, this treatment is for younger and less sun-damaged skin. It requires four to six treatments initially with ongoing maintenance.
- Intensive rejuvenation: For more sun-damaged and older skin, this treatment involves a combination of wave lengths in the one treatment. It involves four to six treatments initially with ongoing regular maintenance.
- Laser ‘peel’: This treatment is for severely pigmented areas (face, hands, neck and décolletage). It is moderately painful, and involves some social down time during healing (crusting, peeling, redness). However, it is very successful at reducing freckling, secondary to excessive sun exposure. Post treatment care must be followed. Up to three treatments may be required.
As the action of laser skin rejuvenation is non ablative (does not remove any skin), there are many benefits over other traditional laser procedures:
- The laser treatment is quick and mostly offers no down time – you can immediately return to your normal activities.
- There is minimal discomfort, and a very low risk of any complications.
- Patients will experience progressive improvement over several months for a fresh, natural look.
- Laser skin rejuvenation is compatible with a whole host of other cosmetic procedures so that maximum results can be achieved.
The RevLite laser used for skin rejuvenation is one of the safest lasers on the market today. This technology has been around since 1992. In the hands of trained medical professionals, the RevLite laser offers a safe and effective treatment with very little risk of complications. Patients of all skin types can be safely treated – including tanned skin.
The laser can be used to rejuvenate many body areas, including the face, hands, neck and chest.
Laser skin rejuvenation is a gradual process just like ageing. Usually patients need four to six treatments spaced at two to four weeks apart. Many patients choose to return for maintenance treatments after the initial treatment sessions end.
Laser skin rejuvenation is not typically painful. Many describe the feeling as a tingling sensation.
Anaesthesia is usually not necessary, but you may request a topical cream depending on your own experience.
This procedure eliminates the recovery associated with other ablative laser skin resurfacing treatments. Laser skin rejuvenation (excluding laser peel) does not remove any surface skin or cause any visible effect beyond a mild to moderate redness, which usually fades within an hour after treatment.
No specific care is needed after treatment, although you may be asked to avoid sun and some skin products for a period of time. It is important to follow your physician’s instructions exactly.
Your physician will be happy to discuss this procedure with you. Please feel free to make an appointment for a consultation to discuss your specific needs.
