Frequently Asked Questions

What Conditions Can Lasers Treat?

Laser skin treatments are versatile and can treat a wide range of skin conditions and imperfections, from sun damage to acne scars and more. Laser treatments can take 2-4 weeks to notice an improvement. These treatments are non-invasive and are specifically tailored to your skin concerns. They can be used alone or as part of a treatment program and excel at treating the most frustrating and complex skin conditions such as acne and rosacea.

Pigmentation from Sun Damage

The scorching Australian sun can do extensive damage to your skin, causing discolouration, prominent blood vessels, collagen degradation, and much more. Skin pigmentation forms through excessive exposure to UV light produced by the sun. While this may initially cause your skin to appear tanned, it can result in brown patches or an uneven complexion over time.

Most sun damage to the skin occurs before the age of eighteen, however, it is never too late to reduce and improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation as a result of unprotected sun exposure. We have various laser devices that treat not only the superficial pigmentation, such as freckles, but also deeper pigment that can be associated with melasma. When treating pigmentation with laser, the laser works by penetrating the deeper layers of the skin, breaking down the pigment into finer particles for your body’s lymphatic system to remove the unwanted pigmentation from within the skin.

Rosacea and Facial Redness

Rosacea is a debilitating skin condition affecting millions of people worldwide. Research shows more women than men are diagnosed with rosacea. It is a multifactorial condition often caused by lifestyle, environment, ageing, or other hormonal and genetic factors. These factors damage the integrity of the skin’s barrier as well as the delicate blood vessels located superficially within the skin. This results in diffused facial redness – especially through the central region of the face, broken capillaries and in some cases the development of acne-like pustules.

Treatment for rosacea and many other vascular conditions is often more rapidly corrected with laser. Laser treatments work by breaking down and coagulating the platelets found within your capillaries and blood vessels, allowing your body’s lymphatic system to dispose of them.

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 to gently encourage your body to upregulate collagen production. This popular, yet gentle approach to skin rejuvenation is subtle yet powerful. You’ll never look like you’ve had “work done”. Your skin will simply look and feel amazing. All of our laser skin treatments are effective when used alone or in conjunction with services such as our chemical face peels, our conservative use of fillers, or other rejuvenation skin treatments.

What Laser Technologies Do You Use?

At CRC, we are committed to using only the safest, most effective, and most innovative laser technology available. We proudly offer the Pearl Fractional Laser, which represents the gold standard in laser rejuvenation for treating the most advanced signs of ageing and skin damage.

When you utilise fractional technology, you get a highly targeted treatment. Fractional lasers pinpoint damaged areas while leaving healthy tissue alone. This healthy tissue then provides nutrients, promotes faster healing and eliminates unwanted side effects. It is the best method for the treatment of acne, large pores, age spots, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, scar tissue, uneven skin tone, and texture and wrinkles.

In addition to this premier technology, CRC utilises various non-invasive laser treatments to tailor a treatment program that specifically targets your skin concerns. This ensures that you are getting the most targeted care and optimal results for your individual concerns. When you stop by, be sure to ask one of our dermal clinicians about all the options we offer.
