How Does Laser Facial Work?
At Australian Laser Clinics, we only use the most advanced, non-invasive and up-to-date medical-grade technology in our Laser Resurfacing treatments. The Q-Switched laser is an adaptable premium-engineered aesthetic machine designed for the treatment of a wide variety of skin conditions and concerns.
Q-Switched lasers are known for their photo-mechanical effects, featuring a combination of high power and extremely short pulse widths (less than 20 nanoseconds – one nanosecond is equivalent to one billionth of a second). The effects of the laser energy are due to shockwaves caused at the target, rather than intense heat. This unique process safely breaks down and shatters small particles of ink or pigmentation, which are then removed by the body’s immune system. Due to the nature of Q-Switched Laser Resurfacing the treatment gently heats up the skin, also know as ‘bulk heating’, resulting in stimulation rather than destruction of collagen fibres. Therefore Q-Switched Laser targets a wide variety of skin imperfections, including tattoos, deep pigmentation, facial redness, uneven skin tone and ageing.
Your highly trained and experienced therapist will determine and recommend the frequency of Laser Facial treatments you will need based on your individual skin type and skin concerns. The treatment is non-invasive, almost painless and can be completed in less than 15 minutes!
