It usually affects the mid-face, but the forehead, jawline, chest and back can be involved. The condition can start with flushing in response to triggers such as wind, heat, alcohol, spicy food, stress or caffeine. Later rosacea can become a constant redness with multiple areas of thread veins and spots.
Rosacea is a very common skin condition. It causes reddening of the face often in conjunction with thread veins and can lead to significant psychological distress.
Please note, that because the laser stimulates wound healing, it cannot be used on hypertrophic or keloid scars.
Scars, acne scars or stretch marks affect the way that many people feel about their appearance. Certain types of scars can be improved with the Regenlite™ laser with very little discomfort or side effects from the treatment. As there are many different types of scars, our team will determine the type and create a specialised treatment plan for you.
At COSMEDICAL we offer laser treatment for the treatment of thread veins and haemangiomas.
As we age, sometimes tiny, superficial, red, blue, or purplish blood vessels can appear on your body. This is often caused by sun exposure, wind, extreme temperatures, steroids, hormonal changes and radiotherapy. They can range from tiny threads to larger blue/purple veins. The veins can appear in clusters, called spider naevi, or small red dots (haemangiomas) and if left untreated, vessels may enlarge. The most commonly affected areas are the nose, cheeks, chin and legs.
IPL hair removal does not only offer cosmetic and practical advantages over methods such as waxing or shaving. Many people suffer from discomfort and cyst formation caused by ingrowing hairs. IPL hair removal is a highly effective way to counteract this on a long-term basis.
There are a significant number of people who suffer psychological distress because of more hair than they would like in certain areas. Most commonly at Cosmedical, we see women with hair on the face, neck, breasts and stomach.
We also see a large number of men with concerns about hair on their backs, shoulders and other areas.
Chromolite-EP™ Intense-Pulsed-Light (IPL) offers affordable, long-term removal of unwanted hair from nearly all parts of the face and body. It delivers a concentrated pulsed beam of light to the entire hair follicle to stop hair from growing back.
There is a vast range of treatments for acne from simple over-the-counter lotions to strong prescription medication. Navigating through this can be very difficult, so our team provide advice based on an individual assessment. Recommendations may include collaboration with your GP for prescription medication, products from the Jan Marini range, glycolic peels, medical microdermabrasion, and Regenlite™ laser treatment. We have treatment options for both active acne and acne scarring.
Acne is a very common inflammatory disorder of the skin. It affects a large proportion of teenagers, and many adults too. It is a distressing condition that can persist for many years and can leave behind both physical and psychological scars.
Lines and wrinkles are also a part of the natural skin ageing process when we start to lose our natural collagen. However, at Cosmedical our team can make individual recommendations for softening or dramatically reducing lines and wrinkles based on an assessment of your skin.
Treatment options include Regenlite™ laser, muscle relaxants (Botox), dermal fillers, glycolic peels, medical microdermabrasion or Jan Marini products.
Ageing skin is a natural process even if we only experience casual sun exposure over our lives. Most individuals’ skin quality begins to deteriorate in the middle to late 20s. However, skin ageing is influenced by many factors, and the appearance of damaged skin can be improved.
The condition can leave the affected areas constantly damp, making everyday activities difficult to carry out. Fortunately, this can be managed effectively with Botox injections. This is a safe and proven way of controlling the excessive sweating symptoms to allow you to carry on with normal day-to-day activities.
Although sweating is a natural process and helps to regulate the body’s temperature, some individuals produce excessive sweat which is termed Hyperhidrosis.
Our skin is exposed to many stresses in our life which can result in pigmentation disorders however the patches of pigment can be treated without affecting your natural skin colour.
Irregular pigmentation, including sun spots, can be treated effectively using Intense-Pulsed-Light (IPL), or glycolic peels and medical microdermabrasion. We also have several Jan Marini products for this condition.Pigmentation is a skin condition which refers to light or dark irregular patches on the skin.
Occasionally port-wine stains may improve spontaneously, but laser therapy is usually the treatment of choice. The Regenlite™ laser can give excellent cosmetic results and is most effective when treatment is commenced at an early stage.
Port-wine stains are red or purple marks, usually present from birth and are often on the face. They vary from a few millimetres to many centimetres. If left untreated, port-wine stains tend to darken over time. The overlying skin is smooth and flat at first, but by middle age, the skin can become thickened and lumpy.
