Scars / Stretch Marks / Burns
Scars and stretch marks impact the skin differently. Scars result from injuries, causing raised and bumpy skin due to increased collagen production during the healing process. Our advanced laser treatments effectively reduce the appearance of scars, promoting skin renewal and collagen production. Stretch marks occur when the skin stretches rapidly, common during weight gain, puberty, or pregnancy. The skin's fibers snap, revealing blood vessels and creating distinct lines. Laser therapy provides a non-surgical solution to reduce the appearance of stretch marks, offering enhanced skin aesthetics with minimal downtime.
At VIZAGE, we use the latest technologies and techniques such as Microneedling, SmartXide to determine the best treatment route for your scar!

Before & After images
-
What should I expect after the treatment?- A mild sunburn sensation will be experienced for a few hours post-treatment, with redness lasting 1 to 2 days—a normal indication of deep-level skin healing. - Swelling is anticipated but minimal, typically resolving within 2 to 3 days. - During the healing process, the skin may present a 'bronzed' appearance lasting from 3 to 10 days, contingent on the treatment level. - Natural exfoliation will occur, and the skin may flake, akin to mild sunburn.
-
Is a pre-treatment consultation required?Yes! At VIZAGE, we always request a pre-treatment consultation to ensure suitability, create a tailored personalised treatment plan and address any questions or concerns you may have. Book your free laser skin consultation today through our booking portal.
-
Are there any side effects?Expect skin redness, swelling, and the described bronzing appearance as typical outcomes of the treatment. While these effects are common, other undesirable consequences are infrequent and might involve a small blister or temporary changes to skin pigmentation, such as a brief darkening of the skin.
-
How many treatments are required?Typically 3 to 6 treatments, but this depends on your current situation, desired outcome and treatment plan.
-
How does IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treats Facial Veins or Rosacea?Individuals with Rosacea often exhibit facial thread veins that dilate in response to specific stimuli (e.g., hot baths or spicy food) and remain open for longer durations compared to those without Rosacea. These thread veins have weaker walls, leading to impaired functionality. Intense Pulsed Light treatment has proven to be highly effective in addressing Rosacea. It operates through a process known as photothermolysis, where this light therapy selectively eliminates the abnormal vessels (thread veins) responsible for the Rosacea effect, allowing for the formation of thicker-walled micro vessels.
-
Is IPL the only treatment for Rosacea or Facial Veins?The presentation of Rosacea can differ significantly among patients, requiring personalized treatments. Consultation with your doctor or GP will provide guidance on various oral and topical medications. Typically, a regimen of antibiotics followed by continuous topical treatment is suggested. Your doctor can discuss the potential benefits and side effects of prescribed medications. For those seeking a drug-free alternative, Intense Pulsed Light has proven to be highly effective in eliminating thread veins responsible for the Rosacea effect. There is no one magic solution for all, so a -consultation is required before commencing any treatments to ensure having the best course of action suitable for your needs.
-
What to expect during a Rosacea or Facial Veins treatment?To initiate the treatment, we will remove any makeup or skincare, and a cold gel will be applied to the designated area. The handpiece is gently placed on your skin, and pulses of light are applied in gradual movements on the skin's surface. Protective eyewear will be provided for your safety.
-

Avoid Blood Thinners:** temporarily refrain from ibuprofen or supplements such as fish oils and Vitamin E to reduce the risk of bruising. Hydration: Ensure good hydration before the procedure, as this can aid in recovery. Inform Your Practitioner: Disclose any allergies, medications, or health conditions to your practitioner for a safe and tailored treatment plan. Plan Downtime: While most filler procedures have minimal downtime, plan for a few days without important events to allow for any potential swelling or bruising to subside. Arnica: You can take arnica supplements for 5 days before your appointment to help reduce the chances of bruising

-
How does the birthmark treatment work?The procedure entails utilising a particular light wavelength tailored to the specific colour and composition of the birthmark. Through a series of treatments, the laser works to break down the pigmentation, causing the mark to gradually fade and harmonise with the surrounding skin, leaving no visible scars.
-
What should I expect post-treatment?After treatment, the treated area may exhibit a temporary pinkness, but this will rapidly diminish. Normal activities can be resumed immediately. In the case of body treatments, due to the metabolism of some triglycerides passing into the urinary system, it is normal to experience an increased need to urinate. In fact, it is advised for both facial and body treatments that patients consume higher amounts of water for a brief period following the procedures to facilitate and optimize the removal of fat cells. The immediate post-treatment contraction of collagen fibers enhances skin elasticity, resulting in firmer-looking skin.
-

This indicates the effectiveness of the treatment, resulting in a more even, flawless, and radiant skin tone.

Additionally, the light encourages the production of new collagen, enhancing skin texture, and has the potential to diminish the appearance of red or brown areas often linked with acne breakouts.
-
How can help improving my acne at home?We often recommend products to be consistently used for effective results, as we've observed significant improvements with product use alone. However, lifestyle factors also play a role. While we understand why teenagers may experience acne due to hormonal changes, comprehending it as adults can be more challenging. Genetics can have a substantial impact, and factors like stress, diet, sleep, contraception, pregnancies, menopause, and exercise must be taken into account. Stress influences hormone production, diet, particularly excessive sugar and hormonal levels in dairy, may contribute, quality sleep aids skin repair, and while exercise is generally beneficial, excessive or intense training can alter hormones. Considering lifestyle changes not only enhances results but also reduces the long-term likelihood of experiencing acne again.

How is the treatment conducted?A layer of cool gel is administered to the skin to facilitate light guidance. The light guide is then applied to the skin, releasing a brief pulse of light. The applicator (EXCELIGHT) is moved across the skin multiple times before transitioning to the adjacent area, and this cycle is reiterated until the entire area is treated. Each light pulse covers a substantial skin area, resulting in a brief treatment duration. Afterward, the gel is removed, and the skin is moisturised. Protective eye wear will be supplied during the treatment.
-
How does the treatment work?This non-surgical facelift targets the SMAS layer deep beneath the skin, the same area that surgeons address in face and neck lifts. Instead of surgical procedures, Focus Dual utilizes ultrasound technology to deliver energy to the SMAS layer, achieving skin tightening, lifting, and plumping without the need for surgery.
-
What is the downtime for a HIFU Facial procedure?Given the non-invasive character of HIFU treatments, downtime is practically non-existent. After the treatment, you might notice a slight redness, and a small portion of our clients may encounter minor swelling, tingling, or tenderness. These symptoms are mild and temporary. You can resume your regular activities immediately, and no specific recovery measures are necessary. This is why HIFU is often referred to as the "lunchtime facelift."
-
Will I feel any sensation or pain during the treatment?During the treatment, you may feel a mild heating sensation or slight tingling. Patients generally describe this sensation as moderate and acceptable and pain-free.
-
When will I start seeing results? and how long do they last?Typically, you can observe immediate results, and these improvements continue to enhance up to 12 weeks after the treatment, thanks to the ongoing renewal of your collagen.

These alterations are gradual, with the pigment diminishing further after each treatment. The skin gradually reverts to its natural colour within a few months. The ultimate results become visible a few months after the final laser session.
-
How should I prepare before the treatment?A few steps are needed before the treatment begins: - Avoid sun exposure as well as tanning beds/lamps for at least 1 month prior to the treatment. - The skin must be clean and cosmetics free. - Medication that could alter light sensitivity must be avoided. Make sure to book your free laser skin consultation to discuss your treatment at VIZAGE.
-
How many sessions are required for a complete tattoo removal?4 to 8 sessions are expected with most patients, spaced 2 or more months apart.

-
What Causes Melasma?The precise cause of melasma remains unknown, although it is believed to result from melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells in the skin, producing excessive melanin. While the exact trigger for this reaction is undetermined, instances of melasma often coincide with pregnancy or the use of hormonal medications like birth control or hormone replacement therapy. In rare cases, certain medications may also induce melasma. Exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UV) from sunlight or tanning beds can exacerbate the condition and darken existing melasma. While avoiding sun exposure can mitigate this effect, it is not always possible, especially in cases related to pregnancy or hormonal medications. Fortunately, laser treatment for melasma is both effective and painless.
-
What does melasma look like?Melasma differs slightly in appearance from sun damage, typically manifesting as blotchy hyperpigmented patches on the face—commonly on the forehead, cheeks, nose, upper lip, and chin. Occasionally, melasma may also affect other sun-exposed areas like the shoulders. It tends to emerge during pregnancy or following hormonal treatments such as contraceptive pill usage. Like all forms of pigmentation, melasma tends to worsen with exposure to sunlight.
