Laser Therapy Geelong
The appearance of your skin can have a significant impact on your self-esteem and confidence.
Laser therapy has quickly become the “go-to” option when treating various skin conditions/concerns.
Common skin conditions and concerns laser therapy is used for treatment are:
- Melasma, sun spots and other pigmentation conditions
- Rosacea, broken capillaries and other vascular conditions
- Scar Revision
- Provide Rejuvenation
- Tattoo Removal
- Hair Removal
Laser therapy operates through a term referred to as selective photothermolysis. Selective photothermolysis is when laser uses precise wavelengths of light to target specific chromophore’s within the skin (such as melanin, hemoglobin and water) whilst minimising damaging the surrounding skin structure. This laser energy is absorbed by these chromophores, generating heat that induces controlled, thermal damage, leading to cell denaturation.
The method in the principle that by utilising specific lasers, dermal clinician’s can achieve target biological effects without harming adjacent tissue, facilitating successful outcomes in dermal procedures, hair removal and tattoo removal.
Each Dermal Laser treatment takes approximately 45 minutes.
Laser Resurfacing (Pearl Fractional Laser) treatments take a minimum of 2 to 2.5 hours due to the application of topical anaesthetic cream

Results can be permanent depending on individuals’ health and maintaining a good quality skincare regime.
The longevity of these results largely depends on individual factors such as:
- Skin types and condition: Different skin types respond differently to laser treatments. Healthy skin is more likely to retain treatment benefits.
- Underlying health issues: Conditions such as hormonal disorders or diabetes can influence treatment outcomes and the body’s healing process.
- Age: Younger skin typically heals better and maintains results longer than mature skin, which may have decreased elasticity and regenerative capacity.
- Aftercare: Adhering to post treatment recommendations including sun protection, moisturising, and avoiding irritants, can help prolong results.
- Maintenance Treatments: Some individuals may require periodic maintenance sessions to sustain results.
- Lifestyle Factors: Habits such as smoking, excessive sun exposure, and poor diet can affect skin health and impact the longevity of laser therapy results.

CRC Rejuvenation Laser
Our most popular treatment! This intense yet non-invasive treatment is designed to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in a smoother, more radiant complexion that has a more even skin tone. This rejuvenation treatment combines the Revlite Q-switch laser and a mild Lactic Acid Peel.
This treatment not only stimulates collagen production, but combined with the lactic peel increases the skin’s overall hydration as well as removes those unwanted dead skin cells off the surface. This 30 minute Rejuvenation Laser treatment instantly leaves the skin appearing more refreshed and with its “no post treatment downtime” will have you back enjoying your day in no time.
It is the perfect, affordable treatment for those who have an up and coming special event or for a well-rested, refreshed look year-round.
Laser therapy is common treatment option when treating various vascular skin conditions ranging from; Rosacea to broken capillaries and superficial leg veins and many more.
Utilising advanced laser technology, the laser targets the chromophore haemoglobin, which is present in blood vessels. Laser works by emitting a concentrated beam of light into the blood vessel. The light energy is converted to heat which coagulates the vessels and initiates the body’s natural wound healing mechanisms and reabsorbs the coagulated vessel. This results in a reduction in general facial redness/inflammation as well as visible capillaries and vessels.
Skin pigmentation significantly influences self-confidence, shaped primarily by genetic factors inherited from biological parents and by environmental influences such as ultraviolet (UV) exposure. Specifically, UVB radiation triggers melanogenesis, the process where skin cells produce melanin in response to sunlight, acting as a protective mechanism against harmful rays.
This process often leads to visible manifestations like freckles and pigmented lesions. Among the various pigmentation conditions encountered in clinical settings, Melasma is particularly prevalent, characterized by dark, discoloured patches on the skin, often prompting individuals to seek effective treatment options to minimise its appearance.
Laser Therapy is the “go-to” treatment option when addressing all pigmentation conditions.
CRC Carbon Laser
Carbon Laser or also known as the “China Doll Facial” is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation laser treatment that begins with the application of a carbon mask.
Following this, a Q-switch laser is used and the interaction between the mask and laser, evaporates the carbon, eliminating impurities as well as stimulating collagen production in the process.
This treatment instantly leaves the skin noticeably smoother in texture and clearer in complexion.
Laser Hair Removal
Removing unwanted hair can be time-consuming and painful. If you are tired of shaving or waxing, you might want to consider laser hair removal. We use medical-grade lasers to penetrate and damage the within the hair follicle, preventing future hair growth.
Laser hair removal is a safe and effective treatment which is suitable for all skin types and is able to treat anywhere on the body. It drastically reduces the need for regular hair removal maintenance and generally saves you money in the long run (if you usually use professional waxing services).
Enjoy the beach or Australia’s beautiful weather without worrying about unwanted hair.
Laser Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin for more advanced signs of ageing. It is an ablative form of laser that evaporates the tissue on the skin’s surface, targets damaged cells located in the dermis and significantly increases the production of collagen through stimulation of the skin’s natural healing processes, inflicting a controlled wound healing response.
Whilst this type of treatment requires more downtime, it is an excellent treatment option for clients seeking treatment for extensive skin damage or wanting a deeper, more advanced rejuvenation treatment. We use the gold standard in laser rejuvenation, the pearl fractional laser to achieve optimal results.
At Cosmetic Refinement Clinic, we provide two advanced methods for tattoo removal:
- Q-Switch Laser: This is our primary method and the gold standard for tattoo removal. The Q-Switch laser effectively targets various ink colours, especially black, dark blue, red, and green. It is both scientifically and medically validated for safe and efficient results.
- Fractional Laser: In conjunction with the Q-Switch laser, we employ a fractional laser to improve treatment outcomes. This technology creates microscopic wounds in the skin, which promotes healing and aids in the removal of residual ink. This enhances the overall effectiveness of the therapy.
These advanced technologies enable us to offer a comprehensive, customizable approach to tattoo removal, suitable for tattoos of diverse colours.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Conditions Can Lasers Treat?
Lasers can treat various skin conditions and concerns.
Common skin conditions and concerns that effectively can be treated with laser therapy include:
- Pigmentation & sun damage
- Rosacea, general redness/inflammation & other vascular conditions
- Acne & acne scarring
- Fine Lines, wrinkles & other signs of ageing
Pigmentation & Sun Damage
Our Scorching Australian sun can inflict significant damage to the skin, leading to issues such as discolouration, prominent blood vessels, and collagen degradation. Skin pigmentation arises from a lifetime of excessive UV light exposure, which initially may give the skin a tanned appearance but can ultimately result in brown patches and an uneven complexion.
While most sun damage occurs before the age of eighteen, it is never too late to address and improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation caused by unprotected sun exposure.
Advanced laser devices can effectively treat both superficial pigmentation, such as freckles and deeper pigment associated with conditions like melasma.
The laser treatment penetrates the deeper layers of the skin, breaking down pigment into finer particles, which the body’s lymphatic system can then eliminate, restoring a more even skin tone.
Rosacea and Facial Redness
Rosacea is a debilitating skin condition affecting millions globally, with a higher prevalence among women than men. This multifactorial condition is linked to various factors, including lifestyle, environmental influences, ageing, hormonal changes, and genetic predispositions.
These contributors compromise the integrity of the skin’s barrier and the delicate superficial blood vessels, leading to symptoms such as diffused facial redness, particularly in the central region of the face, dilated capillaries, and the potential development of acne-like pustules.
Effective treatment often involves laser therapy, which rapidly addresses rosacea and other vascular conditions by breaking down and coagulating the platelets within capillaries and blood vessels. This process facilitates the disposal of these constituents via the body’s lymphatic system, promoting clearer skin.
Acne & Acne Scarring
Are you suffering with acne long after puberty? Or are you living with acne scars that make you feel self-conscious about your skin’s appearance? Acne is a complex skin condition instigated by many factors, including diet, hormone imbalances and stress. That is why we have a holistic approach when it comes to acne treatment and the treatment of acne scarring. It is important to note when treating these concerns, acne always needs to be resolved prior to treating the acne scarring to avoid the chances of spreading the bacteria and exacerbating the condition.
When it comes to treating acne scarring, laser therapy – in particular the Pearl fractional laser – is the preferred treatment option. This is due to its ability to treat the different types of scarring that can develop from acne.
When combined with an advanced skincare regime and lifestyle changes, we are confident we can help you reduce the formation of acne related scars as well as alleviate the condition and bring back that self-confidence!
Fine Lines & Signs of Ageing
Ageing can take a toll on your skin, causing fine lines, uneven skin tone, thin skin and a sallow and tired looking complexion. Additionally, lifestyle factors such as smoking, drinking, sun exposure, and stress can accelerate the ageing process causing the skin to age prematurely. Fortunately, there are multiple invasive and non-invasive treatment options available that encourage collagen production without the use of surgical procedures.
At CRC, we take a conservative approach when it comes to skin rejuvenation and the treatment of fine lines for a natural, revitalised appearance. We use only the most current and advanced medical grade technology in both ablative and non-ablative laser to stimulate collagen production as well as enhance the skin’s overall texture and tone.
