Laser Treatments
Non-Ablative Fractionated Laser (ResurfX)
Non-ablative fractionated laser, also called ResurfX, is a non-invasive laser therapy that penetrates deep layers of the skin to induce collagen remodelling. This improves skin texture by reducing the appearance of fine lines, pores, scars and stretch marks. It is suitable for the lines around the mouth and eyes, neck, chest and other body areas. Our Resurfx laser is especially useful to treat acne and surgical scars, stretch marks and for general skin rejuvenation. Resurfx is a powerful medical laser, and is used in the Concord burns unit, to improve scars from severe burns.
Non ablative Fractionated Laser treatments have less downtime compared to traditional fractionated treatments and most people return to work after a few days - perfect for a Thursday or Friday treatment.

Vascular Laser
Our Multispot NdYag laser specifically targets red pigment and small vascular structures such as leg veins, cherry angiomas, telangiectasia (dilated blood vessels), congenital vascular birthmarks, rosacea and capillaries.
After the laser breaks down the blood vessel, the red pigment is cleared by your immune cells and lymphatic system. Some vessels disappear almost immediately while others, such as those on the legs, can take up to 12 weeks to clear.
