A laser facial is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that is becoming increasingly popular in Kenya. The treatment is typically offered by our doctors who have undergone specialized training in laser treatments.
Benefits of Laser Facial
- Wrinkles reduction
- Reducing pore size thus smoother face
- Treating spots and scars on the face due to various causes including acne
- Antiaging and skin tightening
During the treatment, the doctor will use a handheld device that emits laser light to target specific areas of the face. The laser light penetrates the skin and heats the targeted tissue, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin fibres, promote skin cell turnover, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and sun damage.
This type of laser is generally considered to be safer and less invasive than ablative lasers, which remove the top layer of skin.
A laser facial treatment will typicall take around 45minutes to 90 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. There is a topical anesthesia used before the procedure meaning its painless.
After the treatment, patients may experience some redness or swelling, which usually subsides within a few hours. Results will be visible within 2- 3 weeks when the skin begins to generate collagen, and will continue to improve over time as the skin’s natural healing processes are stimulated.
