What are the benefits?

Hair removal lasers use light energy specific to a wavelength suited for your skin type to permanently damage and destroy hair follicles. A medical grade laser is scanned across your skin during the hair follicle’s growth cycle to destroy it and prevent regrowth.

You’ll need several treatments to see permanent results.
Appointments are usually between 2,4 and 6 weeks apart to start with depending on the hair growth at the time. We usually
recommend 6-8 sessions, however, most people start seeing a stunted hair growth in as little as three treatments. Usually,
appointments are spaced between 4-6 weeks apart depending on the treatment area. That being said, conditions like PCOS may be treated using a more specific treatment protocol.

Which type of laser hair removal treatment would suit me best?

Treatments at E.W. Cosmetic Laser Clinics are performed using a Diode or an NdYAG laser depending on the hair that is suited for treatment. We can treat all skin types at our clinic.

Diode lasers are generally more effective on both hair types (thick/coarse and fine hair – also referred to as Terminal and Vellus hair), whereas NdYAGs primarily work on thick or terminal hair more effectively but not once the hair is finer. Diode lasers also provide a more uniform treatment depth without harming the skin, resulting in no dryness, irritation, or itchiness post treatment. In fact, most clients report an improved skin sensation post treatment on our medical grade diode lasers.

What should you expect on the day of your treatment?

Your treatment day is no different to any other day except you are asked to moderate sun exposure for a few weeks before and after treatment, with regular application of sunblock (SPF 30+).

On the day of your treatment, you’ll be provided with an apron and towel (optional) in our treatment suites and positioned comfortably in our treatment beds. A layer of treatment gel is applied to protect your skin and you should only feel a slight warmth followed by tingles as the laser beam passes over your skin. After treatment is complete, post laser spray is applied in treatment areas to help you feeling refreshed and soothed after your procedure. It is remarkably painless, and most clients comment on how relaxing the sessions are.

Why should you choose us for your laser hair removal

At E.W. Cosmetic Laser Clinics, all hair removal treatment plans are regularly quality assured and tested for optimum performance. Unlike most places, we only employ fully licenced, trained and competent in cosmetic laser aesthetics to perform our treatments (not beauticians with trainee licences or worse; no licence at all!). So you can be assured that you’ll achieve best results as soon as possible and as safely as possible.

Client treatments are planned and quality checked prior to your treatment, so you can only expect the best and not feel like a number rushed through an appointment.

Freckle Removal

What are Freckles?

If you have described yourself as ‘sun kissed’ you have surely noticed freckles or tiny light brown patches in some areas of you face, hands, neck and decolletage. While it is completely harmless, some people can find it unaesthetic requiring costly makeups to cover the area and achieve even skin tone.

Studies have shown that this condition is genetic and caused by the MC1R gene in people who can be frequently in the sun without added protection. Care must be taken to not mistake a mole for a freckle and have regular check-ups with your skin specialist/GP.

What are the treatment options for freckle removal?

Laser treatments involving white doll and black doll have several benefits of skin rejuvenation and brightening by removing dead skin and clogged pores giving you the appearance of firmer, even and toned skin. IPL can also help achieve a clearer, brighter looking skin but is less effective on darker skin tones.

Can freckles be removed permanently?

We have several options to get rid of freckles permanently at our clinic. Depending on the amount and how persistent the freckle is, you will be treated using a standalone laser treatment or a combination of chemical peel and laser treatment. We have also had great success in removing mild to moderate freckles using our world class IPL laser.

However, even if the existing freckles are lightened or removed, you’re still at risk of developing more freckles in the future. If you are committed to having freckle-free skin, stay sun smart by wearing broad-brimmed hat and applying a regular amount of sunscreen.

What is a CO2 fractional laser and how does it work?

CO2 fractional laser uses an ablative technique at a wavelength of 10,600nm that targets the water chromophore in the skin. The laser is scanned in a layer-by-layer fashion to avoid deep tissue destruction. As the skin heals, the formation of new healthy collagen tightens the skin and smooths out scars, wrinkles and other uneven skin textures.

CO2 laser is the most widely used treatment due to its clinical efficacy and therapeutic benefits, which have been confirmed over decades.

What does CO2 Fractional Laser Treat?

The fractional microablative CO2 laser skin resurfacing treatment is the international gold standard for skin resurfacing. It is an extremely safe and effective way to treat the below conditions with low downtime:

• Acne scars
• Sun damage
• Dark circles under the eyes
• Freckles
• Skin tightening
• Stretch marks
• Pigmentation
• Rough texture
• Enlarged pores

• Wrinkles
• Skin laxity on the face, neck, chest and arms
• Surgical scars

How much improvement can you expect after CO2 fractional laser resurfacing treatment at our state-of-the-art Brisbane clinic?

Clinical studies (including data from our clinic) have shown a 40-50% improvement in acne scarring from a single treatment, but results do vary between individuals.

How many treatments are needed?

This is really based on the initial consultation where your skin will be analysed to assess the treatment approach. Usually, 1-3 sessions are sufficient about 2-3 months apart. A small area will be tested initially to ensure that the treatment is safe and effective to you.

What does the procedure involve?

A detailed step-by-step guide will be provided during the consultation process for the CO2 treatment. During treatment, a numbing gel is applied before the laser treatment commences to keep you comfortable, and the process usually lasts about 30-60 minutes in total. We recommend taking a set of medications to reduce discomfort prior to leaving home for the treatment.

What happens after CO2 fractional laser resurfacing treatment?

Your skin will immediately start to feel a moderate sunburn as soon as the effectiveness of the numbing gel starts to wear off. You will be given post care instructions to follow with continual support from the clinician team. Within 3-4 days, your old skin should start shedding and your newer softer skin will start to form towards the surface.

You’ll be given a set of instructions to follow during this healing period. Continual application of SPF 50+ is a must for 7 days post-procedure to keep the skin healing and to prevent sun damage. You’ll also require a week off from any heavy sports/exercise during your healing period, for most optimal treatment outcomes.

When will I see improvements?

Improvements in skin can be seen from a week after treatment and can continue to improve for three to six months post treatment.
