How can it help?
IPL and CO2 Laser treatments can remove superficial pigmentation and fine lines and tighten the skin to give a youthful appearance and improve you self confidence.
Consultation
During the initial consultation Dr. Arianayagam will carefully and thoroughly examine your face. He will also ask you a variety of questions about your current health situation, medications, allergies and any past medical treatments.
He will then discuss the options available and his recommendations.
You should feel free to frankly discuss your goals and expectations and ask plenty of questions.
Treatments
IPL treatments are conducted at the Scarba Street Clinic. Treatments take from 20 to 30 minutes and there is no downtime. Multiple treatments are required to get the best results.
CO2 Laser full face resurfacing is done under general anaesthesia as a day surgical procedure at the Coffs Harbour Day Surgery and you will need dressings for 5 to 10 days.
Recovery
After IPL treatment you should expect your skin to be red and there may also be some swelling. Some people experience stinging or itching, which subsides after 12-72 hours.
After CO2 Laser treatment, protective dressings are applied over the treated area. These remain for 5 to 7 days and are changed as required.
