Laser Skin Rejuvenation

The light from the laser is absorbed in several places in the skin

Melanin

The light is absorbed in the skin’s pigment melanin, after which the light is converted into heat. The heat destroys pigment spots and sun damage, so the colour is broken down into smaller colour grains.

It is the same principle that we know from tattoo removal. The damaged pigment will then penetrate the epidermis, after which it will peel off after 4-7 days. The skin will become uniform and look younger.

Haemoglobin

The laser light is also absorbed in the haemoglobin in the blood. Here, the laser light will again be converted into heat.

This heat removes superficial vascular ruptures, diffuse redness, heals red scars from e.g. acne, while reducing the acne bacteria on the skin.

The treatment is suitable for men and women of all ages.

You must not have dark skin and you must not have been in the sun for 4 weeks prior to the treatment.

You must be over 18 years of age to be treated with laser, unless there is a medical indication for it.

Prior consultation

Before you can have skin rejuvenation with a laser, you must have a statutory prior consultation with the clinic’s specially trained cosmetic nurse. Here you will be asked about the concerns you have and what you want with the treatment. In dialogue with the therapist, we will find the optimal solution for you.

The consultation is non-binding and free of charge.

Consideration period

There is no requirement for reflection time, and the consultation can therefore be held in connection with your first treatment.

Written patient instructions

We recommend that you read about the treatment in our patient guide, which you can download here on this page.

Precautions before treatment

It is important that your skin is as fair as possible before the treatment, and that you have not been in the sun for at least one month before the laser treatment. Sun exposure within a month can cause a superficial burn.

We also recommend coming without new self-tanner and make-up.

If you are sensitive to pain, you can take 1 gram of Panodil one hour before the treatment.

After the laser treatment, it is normal to feel warm and red in the skin.

Some will find that it resembles a sunburn. The redness and tingling sensation will subside after an hour.

The peeling will take place between 4-7 days after the treatment

The pigment spots will darken for a few days after the treatment. Some feel that it looks like they have coffee grounds on their face. This is the pigment that pulls up the top layer of skin and prepares for peeling. The peeling will take place between 4 -7 days after the treatment. It is only the pigment spot itself that peels off. You can easily go to work the day after the treatment.

Avoid the sun for at least 4 weeks and use a high sun protection factor

After a laser treatment, you must avoid the sun for a minimum of 4 weeks and use a high sun protection factor, as the pigment spots can return and, in the worst case, get worse. For this reason, we recommend laser treatments in the winter months.

In the first 2 years after the treatment, we recommend avoiding the sun, using a sun hat and SPF 50, as sun damage easily reoccurs. Alternatively, the treatment must be repeated in the autumn.

A single treatment may be enough

For some, a single treatment may be sufficient for the desired result. The majority can see a difference after just one treatment. However, it is very dependent on the actual starting point for the treatment.

We usually recommend 3 treatments 3 – 4 weeks apart to achieve the best result. We recommend that you combine this treatment with skin care products from Mesoestetics.

There is no downtime required following Global Eyecon treatment, and you can resume your daily activities more or less immediately. However, your under-eye area may be a little be red and sensitive following the procedure so factor that in when planning to have the treatment before an event.

There are also home care treatments to be applied after your session, to optimise and maintain the desired results. Your home care kit will comprise of products specifically formulated to prevent re-pigmentation, and protect against other signs of ageing.

Following your last session, it is essential to use sun protection that specifically prevents hyperpigmentation.
