Our approach to cosmetic dermatology and skin rejuvenation is to combine treatments which complement each other to achieve optimal, natural looking results. Just as repairing a house needs different tools, repairing the effects of sun damage, ageing and the environment on the skin will usually need a combination of tools, and with our extensive state-of-the art technology, we can choose the best combination for you. The main aim of the treatment is to optimise the quality and health of your skin and as a result, its appearance. There is now increasing evidence that some of the laser treatments, particularly the fractionated laser treatments, may reduce risk of the development of skin cancer in the future.
We have a wide range of options to help fine lines, wrinkles and skin texture including some with no recovery time (e.g. LED lights, Lasergenesis, Fotona SpDynamis, Microdermabrasion, Hydrafacial and Picoway laser), some with 24-48 hours recovery (e.g. microneedling), some which cause pinkness and swelling lasting 4-8 days (e.g. Fraxel Restore) and some which require a week of recovery but which achieve significant improvement in wrinkles and tightening (e.g. Ultrapulse Alpha by Lumenis). We have injectables e.g. neuromodulators to relax excess muscle movement, fillers to restore lost volume, and skin boosters, such as Profhilo, to hydrate and add elasticity to the skin. For skin tightening without any recovery time on the face or body we have Sofwave and Fotona. In addition, for pigmentation we have Picoway, Fraxel Restore Dual and Lumecca IPL, and for redness and thread veins we have Pulse Dye Laser, Excel V+, Lasergenesis and Lumecca IPL.
The best results come from a combination of techniques and we can do many of these treatments on the same day, which suits those with busy lifestyles or who travel to us from a long distance.
The best results also come from occasional stronger treatments (e.g. the Ultrapulse Alpha or Fraxel Restore) maintained with more regular gentle treatments with no recovery (e.g. LED lights, Hydrafacial, Microdermabrasion, Fotona SP Dynamis, Picoway laser) and a good skin care programme, particularly sunblock.
At your consultation, Dr Farrell or one of the consultant dermatologists (or if you wish a complimentary consultation, one of our nurses/cosmetic co-ordinators) will assess your concerns and draw up a bespoke treatment plan to meet you skin concerns, lifestyle, recovery time and budget.
