Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Skin ageing is most often caused by sun damage, dehydration and other sources of free radical damage, causing the skins collagen and elastic fibres to break down, leaving you looking older than your years.

 

The PicoSure Focus Lens has been FDA approved to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by offering non-ablative fractionated treatments which cause a controlled wound healing response within the skin, creating an increase in the number of collagen and elastin fibres within the skin. Leaving the skin feeling instantly toned and taunt, the PicoSure Focus Lens can also help to reduce the appearance of pigmentation and improve skin hydration, helping to combat many of the signs of ageing.

SILK Laser Clinics has expanded even further into the treatment of your skin concerns with the PicoSure Focus Laser Skin Treatments.

The Focus Lens gives your skin the benefits of fractionated skin rejuvenation with almost no downtime, allowing you to get on with your day faster than ever before.

What does this mean for my skin? This allows you to treat a variety of skin concerns all in one treatment, this includes:

– Sun Damage and uneven skin tone

– Congestion and open pores

– Firm and improve skin contours

– Hydrate and soften the skin

But the benefits of the PicoSure Focus Lens does not end there, this laser has been FDA Approved to treat the following concerns:

– Fine Lines & Wrinkles

– Acne Scaring

– Melasma Reduction

How can a laser treat all these skin concerns at once?

The Focus Lens redistributes each PicoSure pulse into a combination of high and low levels of energy and is up to 20x more concentrated than a normal PicoSure pulse. This allows each beam to treat a small area of skin with a high level of energy embedded in a lower energy background, which means greater control in the application of high level of energy to effectively treat a wide variety of skin concerns.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

The number of treatments required is determined by the concerns you want to treat. For most clients we recommend starting with a course of 6 treatments, however clients treating specific concerns such as Melasma or Acne Scarring may require more treatments depending on the extent of the damage.A personalised treatment plan will be created for you at your FREE consultation with one of SILK’s technicians.

HOW OFTEN CAN I TREAT?

With the PicoSure you are able to treat as often as every week if you like, but most clients will have a treatment every 2-4weeks for optimal results.

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT TO SEE A RESULT?

For most clients their skin will feel firmer directly after the treatment and the full effects of the treatment can usually be seen approximately 3-5 days after the treatment.

HOW LONG DO THE RESULTS LAST?

For most clients, using the prescribed home care products, the results can be very long lasting with many clients reporting notable changes for months after their course of treatments has been completed.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM THE CONSULTATION?

At your initial consultation you will be asked to arrive 10mins prior to your scheduled appointment to ensure you have ample time to complete the necessary paperwork prior to being taken through to one of our treatment rooms. Your SILK technician will then discuss the following with you to ensure you have complete understanding of the treatment plan, this includes:

  • Visual assessment of your skin
  • Discussion regarding any previous treatments
  • How the laser works
  • How to prepare for your treatments
  • How to care for your skin to ensure lasting results
  • Possible adverse reactions
  • Personalised Treatment Plan outlining all pricing options

In most cases you can proceed with your first treatment at the time of the consultation, however should there be any ‘red flags’ in your consultation your SILK Laser Specialist may advise that a Test Patch be performed prior to commencing your treatments.

WHO WILL BE PERFORMING MY TREATMENT?

At SILK Laser Clinics all of our technicians are Laser Safety Certified and have extensive knowledge of the skin. As the PicoSure Laser is the most advanced technology available, our technicians have undergone rigorous training to ensure your safety and results.

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR MY TREATMENT?

It is essential to avoid sun exposure or solariums for at least 4 weeks prior to your treatment and throughout your treatment plan. Any form of exposure can increase your risk of burning, blistering and pigment changes within the skin which includes post inflammatory hyper, darkening, or hypo, lightening, pigmentation.It is also important to avoid the use of fake tans prior to your treatment and ensure the area is free from any artificial pigments, including makeup, the day of your appointment.

IS THE TREATMENT PAINFUL?

As with all laser treatments some discomfort will be felt, however most clients are able to tolerate the treatment well. For all treatments the Zimmer Cooling System is used to cool the treatment area which reduces the discomfort felt by the client.SILK Laser Clinics also allow a longer treatment time which means your Laser Technician will be able to take the care necessary to ensure you are as comfortable as possible throughout the treatment.

CAN I APPLY NUMBING CREAMS PRIOR TO MY TREATMENT?

No. Because these creams or gels are often water based they create a barrier over the skin, even when thoroughly removed. This barrier prevents the full effects of the laser being able to penetrate to the target matter reducing the results of the treatment.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER MY TREATMENT?

Directly after the treatment the area will feel very similar to sunburn with the skin being red and hot to touch. For most clients this response will usually last 2-12hours, but in some cases can last up to 48hours after your treatment. Should you notice these affects for longer than 48 hours post treatment, please contact your clinic.

WHAT STEPS MUST I TAKE TO CARE FOR MY SKIN AFTER THE TREATMENT?

The SILK Soothing Gel is a must have for all laser clients, it’s anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. SILK recommended that this be applied to the treatment area at least each morning and night for 7days after your treatment, it is also advised that you bring the SILK Soothing Gel to your appointments as you will want to apply is generously throughout the day after your treatment.It is also advised that you avoid hot showers, baths, pools, spas, steam, sauna and the gym for at least 48hours post treatment, this may be extended if the treatment area is still feeling warm or irritated.
