Medical Grade LASER

Who can benefit from ClearLift treatment?

Everyone! Once we turn 20, we produce 1% less collagen each year. ClearLift promotes collagen remodelling, which helps with the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity. The ClearLift can also simultaneously do photo rejuvenation for a well-rounded approach to skin rejuvenation.

Is ClearLift painful?

No, it is not painful. The ClearLift laser creates microscopic dermal injuries and does not cause damage to the outer layer of the epidermis.

Will I experience downtime after the ClearLift laser treatment?

Usually, there is no downtime following the ClearLift laser treatment, and it is considered a true “lunchtime procedure”. However, if treated superficially, petechiae may result, which can be easily covered with makeup. However, everyone’s skin reacts differently, and it is best to consult with your practitioner.

Can the Alma Harmony XL Pro laser be combined with other skin treatments?

Yes, combination treatments are highly recommended. Different modalities on the Alma Harmony can be combined, or other treatments such as anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, and chemical peels can be included for a holistic approach.

How many ClearLift treatments will I need?

We recommend 3 – 6 sessions; however, your practitioner will be able to provide you with a better guide upon a personalised skin assessment.

When will I see the results?

You will see the maximum results 6 weeks post completing your recommended treatment protocol.

Who is the iPixel for?

The iPixel is an ablative laser recommended for the treatment of scarring, wrinkles, skin resurfacing, and raised benign lesions. It works to improve overall skin tone, elasticity, texture, pigmentation, and pore size while helping to bolster the skin against future aging.

Is the iPixel painful?

Everyone’s pain tolerance is different. Your therapist will use measures to make the treatment as comfortable as possible. However, discomfort may be experienced during and post-treatment.

Will I experience downtime after the iPixel?

Yes, downtime is usually 5 to 7 days. This, however, is social downtime, meaning you can return to work and most normal activities, but your face will be red and eventually scab over. Everyone’s skin reacts differently, and it is best to consult with your practitioner.

How many iPixel treatments will I need?

We recommend 2 – 4 sessions; however, your practitioner will be able to provide you with a better guide upon a personalised skin assessment.

What makes Alma laser hair removal devices so popular?

Alma has developed a method which uses groundbreaking technology to offer a simple, one-stop solution for truly effective hair removal.

SHR’s unique gradual heating method effectively damages the hair follicles while avoiding injury to the surrounding skin. The sweeping In-motionTM delivery technique keeps the laser in constant motion ensuring full coverage of the treated area. The improved coverage helps practitioners avoid unwanted results such as “Zebra stripes” associated with older, stationary methods.

What wavelengths do most laser devices use?

Most hair removal devices use one specific type of laser wavelength. The most common ones are the 755nm, 808nm and 1064nm laser wavelengths. Each of these has unique characteristics and different absorption levels in Melanin. Melanin is the chromophore that determines a person’s skin and hair colour. Alma’s newest Soprano laser devices combine these wavelengths simultaneously, making them suitable for all skin types.

Laser hair removal-Is it safe? Does it heart?

Simultaneous contact cooling, introduced with Alma’s award-winning Soprano ICE laser, prevents burns and allows for more comfortable treatment. The specialized applicator allows you to treat large areas in less time than before.

Whether you have light, dark or tanned skin, coarse or fine hair, Alma’s hair removal solutions achieve maximum results for all areas of the body with safe, quick and, best of all, virtually painless treatments.

Beauty-Grade vs. Medical-Grade Equipment

If you’re seeking permanent hair removal solutions, you’ve probably seen “laser treatment” claims at your local salon or spa. Unfortunately, this term can be misleading. Many beauty facilities utilize beauty-grade equipment, such as Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) beams, while marketing those services as laser treatments. While IPL and similar treatments can have great results, it’s important to note that these procedures are not performed with medical-grade equipment. Learn key differences between medical lasers and non-medical lasers.

Medical lasers emit a targeted, very specific wavelength of light. IPL devices, on the other hand, emit a broader spectrum of light that goes in all directions – like a light bulb or a lamp. Procedures targeting the hair follicle must be performed with precise, medical-grade laser equipment to avoid burning the skin. 

Medical lasers generate much more power per pulse.

This proved to be a better treatment outcome, and less number of sessions were required to achieve the decided treatment effects.

Medical-grade devices typically have more advanced technology and better cooling methods, which is why they are much safer. 

IPL Devices

Don’t get us wrong - We love using our IPL equipment for a few specific treatments. IPL treatments are highly successful when it comes to hyperpigmentation, age spots, and broken capillaries. We always say that IPL and medical laser devices are great tools. However, it’s important to use the right tool for the right job to deliver the best results.

At Beach Road Surgery & Skin Clinic, our certified experts use medical-grade equipment to make sure you get the best results possible. Our medical expertise ensures that your laser procedures are accurate, long-lasting, and comfortable. If you’re interested, give us a call at 02-44080777 with any questions.
