Laser skin treatment is arguably the most high-tech and effective way to rejuvenate the appearance of your skin.
Dr Brad is a cosmetic laser treatment doctor in Bristol who is proud to be able to offer these highly sought after modern laser treatments to the people of Bristol and surrounding areas.
- Dr Brad delivers fractional laser treatments using both the SmartXide (ablative) and Emerge (non-ablative) laser systems.
Fractional laser treatment is a great way to improve skin problems such as:
- Fine lines and wrinkles (ie crow’s feet, forehead, glabella, upper lip “smoker’s lines”, cheek lines,
- Background UV skin damage and superficial broken capillaries/minor thread veins,
- Freckles (ephelides) and age spots (lentigines),
- Stretch marks,
- Skin laxity/crepe,
- Rough/irregular skin texture,
- Pigmentation irregularities (dyschromia) such as “melasma”,
- Scars,
- Acne scarring,
- Enlarged pores (cheek/chin etc).
Pretty much any area of the skin can be treated but the most common areas to be treated include
- Face (excluding nose),
- Neck,
- Upper chest, (décolletage),
- Backs of hands,
- Abdominal stretch marks (striae gravidarum/striae distensae),
- Eyelids (for tightening).
Apart from fractional laser treatments, the following are also available.
- Non-fractional, “continuous wave”, SmartXide laser treatment is a great way to remove troublesome skin lesions such as moles, verrucas, warts, xanthelasma cholesterol deposits and skin tags etc.
- “Active Q-switched” laser treatment with the QS4 is best for treating individual age spots/brown marks or background UV skin damage. It is the gold standard for safe and effective laser tattoo removal. It can also be used for a general refresh of skin tone and/or texture without ablating the surface of the skin.
- Long-pulsed Nd:YAG treatment with the Elite Plus is the gold standard for safe and effective long-term hair removal in non-Caucasian patients. It is also used for reduction of facial redness, gentle skin tightening and treatment of unsightly thread veins on the face, body, legs and feet.
- Long pulsed Alexandrite treatment with the Elite Plus is the gold standard for long-term hair removal in Caucasian patients. It can also be used to remove freckles, UV damage and dark skin lesions in Caucasian patients.
