This comprehensive treatment addresses redness, inflammation and strengthens the skin barrier. The facial includes a bespoke chemical peel, LaserGenesis and Profhilo injections. The chemical peel works to reduce inflammation, whilst the laser selectively shuts down capillaries on the skin surface. Profhilo contains high concentrations of hyaluronic acid that strengthens the skin barrier.

How to prepare?
All our laser treatments require a consultation and patch-test prior to full treatment. This enables you to ask any questions you may have, prepare your skin for the treatment and to try the laser out, so that you know what to expect during your treatment and recovery. The patch-test also enables us to identify which laser settings will work best for you.
On the day of your treatment your doctor/therapist will assess how your skin felt after the patch-test. After completing the consent form and photography, the doctor/therapist will clean the skin (so don’t worry if you have makeup on), give you special goggles to wear and carry out the treatment. The chemical peel will be applied to the skin in layers. The LaserGenesis will then be performed according to the settings we identified during your patch-test. Finally, Profhilo will be injected into the skin. After the treatment we will apply aftercare serums to promote skin healing and SPF to protect the skin. We recommend simple moisturisers and daily sunblock after treatment.

The treatment is well tolerated with minimal pain
There is some mild redness, swelling and skin sensitivity (like a mild sunburn) for 1-3 days after laser treatment. These side-effects are generally mild and most people will be able to continue with normal daily routines.
Both experienced skin therapists and doctors.
We recommend that you pause any treatments like retinol, tretinoin, glycolic or tetracycline antibiotics for 7 days prior treatment, as they make the skin more sensitive to light. We recommend that you do not tan for at least 4 weeks prior to and for at least 6 weeks after this treatment.
