Biggest myths about laser Myth #3

Rosacea/Redness can't be fixed

The good news is that rosacea is highly treatable using IPL/BBL (Intense Pulsed Light / Broadband Light) technology. The IPL works by delivering targeted light energy to heat the upper layers of your skin. The heat absorbed by the targeted areas will then stimulate your skin cells to generate new collagen. In addition, the photothermal energy will target and eliminate many of the fine blood vessels and capillaries that cause redness. This will help restore your skin to its natural beauty, blending its natural colours and making it smoother, vibrant and younger looking.

Acne Scars can't be removed

Oh yes they can!  At Gentle Touch we have an incredibly effective treatment for acne scarring called Pixel.  Pixel is an erbium fractionated laser treatment that can dramatically improve the appearance and texture of your skin. This precision laser works by creating thousands of microscopic perforations which stimulate the growth of new collagen in the skin. The new collagen improves your skin's texture and tone to fight fine lines, wrinkles and even acne scars. Because the skin around each of these perforations remains in tact, the top layer of the skin heals very rapidly. 

Pixel can be combined with microdermabrasion and IPL (Intense pulsed light) to increase the effectiveness of treatment and assist with the removal of redness and blemishes in the skin.  If your acne scarring is bothering you, call us to book a free consult and learn about the technologies and products that can help you achieve the skin you have always wanted.

Biggest myths about laser Myth #1

Is Laser Treatment Painful?

Clients who have had electrolysis or waxing prior to laser treatment agree, that laser treatment is much less painful. Our clients compare the feeling to a light snap of an elastic band against the skin and for some other areas, they say that it is hardly noticeable. Our newest technology which is the sopranoTM diode laser is classified as a, "Pain Free" laser and really, it is!


If discomfort is holding you back, book your treatment  with our sopranoTM  technology and you will be amazed at how comfortable it is!  And if that is still not enough, you can have a topical anaesthetic cream (EMLA) applied to the treatment area for one hour before your appointment. Don't let concerns about pain hold you back and talk to your technician if you are nervous about pain. We can do things that can help.
