Medical Skin Procedures
Medical Laser Therapy
Wavelength-specific laser and light treatment for redness, pigment, lesions, scars and nail fungus.
Overview
Our lasers are selected and set for skin of colour. The same platform treats very different problems depending on wavelength and settings — facial redness and broken vessels in rosacea, stubborn pigment, scar colour and texture, and fungal nail infection.
What it helps with
- Rosacea redness and broken capillaries
- Pigmentation and sun damage
- Scar and keloid colour (laser toning)
- Post-shaving irritation and darkening
- Nail fungus
How it works
Light of a chosen wavelength is absorbed by a specific target — haemoglobin in vessels, melanin in pigment, or fungal organisms in the nail — while surrounding skin is spared.
