Treatments
Concerns treated with laser at the clinic.
Each treatment below is carried out as a planned course, with suitability, preparation and aftercare explained at consultation.
01
Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser
Concern
Pigmentation, tattoo ink, skin toning
- What it is
- The Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser delivers very short pulses of energy that are absorbed by pigment. At MySkin Clinic it is used for concerns such as pigmentation, laser toning, carbon peel and tattoo removal.
- What to expect
- Assessment of your concern and skin type, a patch test where indicated, and an explanation of the session plan. Multiple sessions are usually required, and suitability is decided at consultation.
02
Diode Laser
Concern
Unwanted hair
- What it is
- The Diode laser targets hair follicles and is used for laser hair reduction. Treatment is planned by area, hair type and skin type.
- What to expect
- Consultation and assessment first, including a discussion of suitability and preparation. Hair reduction is carried out over a course of sessions spaced several weeks apart.
03
Laser Hair Reduction
Concern
Unwanted hair on face and body
- Face
- Chest
- Under Arms
- Legs
- Beard Shaping
- What it is
- Laser hair reduction — commonly called laser hair removal — uses light energy absorbed by the hair follicle to reduce hair growth over a course of sessions. Areas treated at the clinic include face, chest, under arms, legs and beard shaping.
- What to expect
- Your skin and hair type are assessed to decide whether the treatment is suitable for you and how sessions should be spaced. Preparation advice, including sun protection, is given before treatment.
04
Carbon Peel / Laser Toning
Concern
Dullness, uneven tone, oily-looking skin
- What it is
- Carbon peel uses a carbon layer applied to the skin with Q-Switched laser passes; laser toning uses low-fluence passes of the same laser. Both are performed in a planned course.
- What to expect
- A short in-clinic procedure after assessment, usually repeated at intervals. Aftercare, including sun protection, is explained at your session.
05
Tattoo Removal
Concern
Unwanted tattoos
- What it is
- Laser tattoo removal breaks down tattoo ink into smaller particles that the body clears gradually. Ink colour, depth, age and location all influence how a tattoo responds.
- What to expect
- Assessment of the tattoo and your skin, then a session plan. Several sessions spaced weeks apart are typically needed, and the degree of clearance varies between individuals.
06
Beard Shaping
Concern
Beard line definition
- What it is
- Diode laser hair reduction applied along the beard outline to define its shape, planned according to the area and your hair and skin type.
- What to expect
- Consultation and assessment first, followed by a course of sessions. The area treated is agreed with you before starting.
Before a laser session
- Tell the clinic about any medication you take, any skin condition in the area, and any previous reaction to laser treatment.
- Follow the preparation advice given for your treatment area, including advice on sun exposure and sun protection.
- A patch test may be advised before starting, depending on your skin type and the concern being treated.
- Laser treatments are planned as a course of sessions. Response varies between individuals and no outcome is guaranteed.
Laser questions
Questions patients often ask.
If your question is not answered here, message the clinic — we will tell you whether a consultation is the right next step.
Yes. Skin type, the nature of the concern and medical history all influence whether a treatment is appropriate, so treatments at MySkin Clinic are planned after a consultation rather than booked directly.
Preparation is explained to you before your session and generally includes avoiding sun exposure and following the advice given for the area being treated. Please tell the clinic about any medication you are taking, any skin condition in the area, and any previous reaction to laser treatment.
No. Suitability depends on factors such as skin type, hair type and the area being treated, and there are situations in which laser hair reduction is not advised. This is assessed at consultation before treatment is planned.
Laser treatments are carried out as a course of sessions spaced weeks apart rather than as a one-time procedure. The number of sessions varies between individuals and is discussed with you once your concern has been assessed.
