Laser Genesis
Laser Genesis is a non-invasive laser treatment renowned for its ability to gently heat the skin's upper layer. The underlying mechanism stimulates collagen production, making it effective for a range of skin concerns, including wrinkles, large pores, and uneven tone.
Picosure Pro
PicoSure Pro is an advanced laser technology which is considered groundbreaking in dermatology and aesthetic medicine. Unlike traditional lasers that rely on heat to break down pigments or skin cells, PicoSure Pro utilises ultra-short pulses, measured in picoseconds, to create a photomechanical impact. This shatters the target cells or pigments into tiny particles that are naturally eliminated by the body. PicoSure Pro is renowned for its effectiveness in tattoo removal, scar reduction, and treating various skin conditions like hyperpigmentation. It offers the advantage of quicker treatments and shorter recovery times compared to traditional laser technologies. It is FDA approved to treat melasma pigment.

What is skin health?
Odds are you’ve heard of the term skin care, but there’s way more to healthy skin than what’s on the surface. Just like overall wellness, skin health isn’t determined by just one or two factors – it’s the combination of things you do every day, from what you put on your skin to what you put in your body.
- 90% of skin damage is caused by sun exposure
- 81% of people have experienced a skin problem
- The body produces 1% less collagen each year of life
Why is skin health so important?
Your skin is one of the largest organs in your body – and definitely the most exposed. There are tons of factors that can lead to damaged skin, which can eventually take a toll on your emotional health. Rather than covering up those imperfections, we believe that focusing on the underlying causes is the best way to get skin that truly glows. And that holistic approach to skin health can lead to a happier, healthier you.

STEPS
Treatment Step by Step
Complimentary consultation & patch test
Your journey begins with a complementary consultation & patch test. This will be a great opportunity to discuss the treatment with your provider, as well as finding out more about realistic results you can expect, possible side-effects & downtime associated with treatment- the aim being to offer you as much information as possible so that you can make an informed decision.
The patch test will involve test patches directly on or near to the desired treatment area. This usually involves a few test shots of laser energy to test for any adverse reaction, as well as to test for pain or discomfort. This is a safety procedure which is always carried out for laser treatments.
Pre-care instructions given
We will provide you with pre-care instructions (this is usually done via email as well as verbally) to ensure you are suitable for treatment on the day. This includes, but is not limited to, discontinuing retinoids & exfoliants at least 5 days before treatment, as well as not having any other treatments on the area being treated for a minimum of 2 weeks prior.
Treatment
Your treatment will be carried out with your comfort & safety firmly in mind. Advanced air-cooling will be used to minimise discomfort and typically an aloe Vera gel & mineral sunscreen SPF50 are applied by your practitioner immediately post-treatment.
Aftercare
Aftercare instructions will be verbally given by your practitioner, as well as being sent to you via email. Hand copies can be requested too if this is preferable for you.
Skin Cosmetics London prides itself on its excellent aftercare, so do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns, we actively encourage this.
Follow-up appointment
We usually recommend coming in for a follow-up appointment 2 weeks after treatment. This allows us to compare before & after pictures as well as visually assess & discuss results. Based on this, the practitioner can make modifications if needed. It is not uncommon for the first laser treatment to use lower settings to ensure safety. Subsequent sittings can use higher settings within the clinical range to provide more impressive results. Patient safety is always prioritised over treatment efficacy.
Next treatment
Hyperpigmentation varies in its depth, intensity & underlying cause. We always recommend at least 3 treatment (as a bare minimum) but may even recommend more treatments depending on a number of factors, including but not limited to, if the pigmentation is dermal as opposed to epidermal, Melasma, patient skin type, patient skin sensitivity to treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is hydrafacial?
HydraFacial is a multi-step treatment that uses patented technology to cleanse, exfoliate, extract and treat the skin. During the treatment dead skin cells and impurities are removed and the skin is hydrated with antioxidants & peptides. Unlike other treatments, HydraFacial can be had as often as weekly or monthly to achieve a fast and long lasting result.
What steps are involved in hydrafacial treatment?
- DETOX: The first step performed is a lymphatic drainage, whereby the circulation of the lymphatic system is increased, therefore improving blood flow to the skin, as well as the elimination of toxins.
- CLEANSING & EXFOLIATION: Dead skin cells (as well as other impurities) are gently exfoliated to reveal healthy, new skin. This is followed by the application of a serum containing salicylic acid.
- EXTRACTION: water-assisted suction removes blackheads as well as impurities found in the skin. This is assisted by a specially formulated serum.
- HYDRATION: A hydrating mixture replenishes and hydrates the treated skin.
- REJUVENATION: LED light will help to stimulate collagen (increasing skin fullness and firmness). It will also reduce redness and stimulate vitamin D production for a healthy, summery glow.
How does hydrafacial work?
HydraFacial treatment works by targeting the lymphatic system of the patient. This is because our lymphatic system regulates fluid levels and gets rid of toxins from the surrounding environment.
The fluid inside this lympathic system is called lymph, and it can become contaminated and impure over time, causing our skin to look and feel worse. HydraFacials extract unwanted waste from the lymph, draw essential moisture to the surface of the skin, and replace any toxins with healthy ingredients.
Why should i use hydrafacial?
A free, no-obligation consultation is given where we check your suitability for the procedure and assess your requirements so that we can provide a solution for you.
This includes a skin assessment. We then discuss realistic results and any other relevant information
Who is suitable for hydrafacial?
Generally speaking, Hydrafacial is suitable for all age groups and skin types. A form will be filled out at your consultation to rule out any conditions that may make you unsuitable.
What results can i expect to see?
In several published studies conducted by leading U.S. plastic surgeon Bruce M. Freedman, MD, FACS, author of over 40 publications in medical journals and textbooks, the HydraFacial hydradermabrasion technology was clinically proven to be effective for facial rejuvenation. In particular, Dr. Freedman studied polyphenolic antioxidant levels within the skin and how hydra-dermabrasion compares to other skin rejuvenation procedures.
How long will the results last?
As HydraFacials help to replenish the skin, we would recommend a course of monthly maintenance treatments to keep skin in tip-top condition
