How does it work?Capillary Removal is the treatment of an individual dilated capillary using laser energy to target the blood supply within the vessel. The heat from the laser can collapse the capillary wall, causing the vessel to shut down on itself. Your body will naturally eliminate the capillary vessel via the lymphatic system. Our Vascular Lesion Removal specifically targets broken capillaries, spider veins and angiomas present on the facial and body area.

Unwanted reactions are rare but may include a small blister or temporary lightening or darkening of the skin.

What does a laser treatment feel like?With standard laser hair removal treatments, you can feel what is described as a ‘hot flick’ of an elastic band during treatment. However, with the brand-new pain free Motus MOVEO treatment you will feel little to no sensation at all. The built-in chill tip allows even more comfort for clients especially when treating an area with lots of dense and dark hair.
-
Can I have Laser hair removal if I have a tattoo in that area?We cannot treat hair directly where a tattoo is present. This is because the laser is attracted to the dark pigment in the ink and it can cause your tattoo to break down. I the laser went over your tattoo it could potentially reduce the colour significantly. If you have a small tattoo in the area to be treated, this can be covered and the area will still be able to be treated. Your laser technician will be able to advise you on your consultation.

How long should I go between treatments?Depending on your hair and skin type and the area being treated, you will usually require treatments at 4-6 week intervals. Each part of the body has a different hair growth cycle, so the hair loss will vary depending on what phase your follicles are in at the time of treatment.

Who is suitable for treatments?Most people are suitable for treatment. We recommend a consultation with your clinician to ascertain if the treatment will be successful for you. Grey/white hair has no melanin so is not suitable for treatment.

How does it work?Laser Pigmentation Removal works to safely and effectively reduce the appearance of freckles, pigmentation, and post-trauma pigmentation and age spots. The laser targets only the pigmented lesion in the skin which absorbs the light, without damaging the surrounding skin. The laser heats up and shatters the pigment. The pigment is then drawn to the surface without harming the surrounding tissue. Once drawn to the surface, the pigmented lesions will fade or dry and flake off the treated area, leaving the skin with an even tone and complexion.
