Modern skin concerns demand modern solutions—and professional laser devices are setting the standard in delivering fast, effective, and life-changing results.
At Asclepion UK, we provide cutting-edge laser technology designed to address these concerns safely, efficiently and with minimal downtime. In this article, we explore today’s most common skin concerns and how our professional laser systems can be used to achieve remarkable results.
Fine Lines
Fine lines and wrinkles are among the first obvious signs of ageing, often appearing around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. They occur as a result of reduced collagen and elastin production, prolonged sun exposure, and repetitive facial expressions. Skin starts to develop folds and creases as it becomes less elastic and tight.
Laser treatments are a popular and effective method for reducing the visibility of fine lines. Through regulated energy delivery into the skin, lasers stimulate collagen regeneration and resurface the upper layers of the skin, leading to smoother, more youthful-looking skin over time.
For this concern, both the Dermablate Cool Laser and the NanoStar are excellent options. The Dermablate Cool Laser, with its precision erbium:YAG technology, is perfect for fractional skin resurfacing, targeting superficial wrinkles with minimal heat damage. The NanoStar’s nanosecond pulses also support skin rejuvenation by encouraging dermal remodelling and improving texture.
Acne Scars
Acne scars are a lasting reminder of previous breakouts, often appearing as pitted or raised patches on the face, back, or chest. These scars develop when severe acne damages the skin and underlying tissues, and they can be notoriously difficult to heal with topical treatments alone.
To promote the formation of fresh, healthy skin in its place, laser therapy breaks down scar tissue. It restores a more uniform skin tone and texture, minimises discolouration, and smoothes the skin’s surface.
Both the Dermablate Cool Laser and PicoStar offer top results in treating acne scars. The Dermablate Cool Laser excels in ablative resurfacing, targeting deeper layers of skin to promote collagen and soften scar depressions. The PicoStar, with its ultra-short picosecond pulses, offers a non-ablative method that targets scar tissue and pigment with little downtime.
Unwanted Hair
Unwanted hair is an issue for people of all genders and can impact different parts of the body. Many patients want long-lasting solutions for hair reduction, whether due to genetics, hormonal imbalance, or personal preference.
Laser hair removal is a highly effective technique that targets the pigment in hair follicles, destroying them without causing damage to the surrounding skin. This can result in reduced hair growth and can provide permanent hair reduction over several sessions.
At Asclepion UK, the MeDioStar and AlexStar are our leading devices for this treatment. The MeDioStar uses advanced diode technology and a large spot size for fast, comfortable treatments for all skin types. The AlexStar Red Edition offers high-power alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths, making it perfect for clients with fair skin and fine hair.
Sun Damage
Overexposure to the sun causes photo-ageing, which shows up as fine wrinkles, sun spots, broken capillaries, and rough texture. These signs result from UV-induced damage to collagen and elastin fibres, as well as changes in pigmentation.
The goal of laser treatments for sun damage is to eliminate damaged outer layers of skin and encourage the growth of new, healthier skin underneath. The result is improved texture, tone, and overall skin clarity.
Sun damage is best treated with the Dermablate Cool Laser. With a cooling system that improves patient comfort throughout treatment, its precise ablative properties allow it to efficiently target sun-damaged skin, reduce pigmentation, and promote skin regeneration.
Pigmentation
Pigmentation concerns, including melasma, age spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, result from the skin’s overproduction of melanin. These irregularities, which can be brought on by inflammation, hormonal changes, or sun exposure, often appear as dark patches or spots.
Laser devices that target melanin are effective in breaking down excess pigment, which is then naturally removed by the body. This method provides accurate repair without causing damage to the surrounding tissues.
For pigmentation, the PicoStar and QuadroStar Pro Yellow are both top-tier choices. The PicoStar uses picosecond pulses to shatter pigment particles quickly and efficiently, while the QuadroStar Pro Yellow emits a specific wavelength highly absorbed by melanin and haemoglobin, reducing pigment and redness simultaneously.
Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterised by facial redness, flushing, visible blood vessels, and sometimes small, acne-like bumps. Sunlight, stress, spicy foods, and alcohol are some examples of its triggers. Though not curable, rosacea can be managed effectively with the right treatments.
Laser therapy targets the dilated blood vessels that cause redness and visible veins, minimising their appearance and offering long-term symptom alleviation.
The QuadroStar Pro Green and QuadroStar Pro Yellow are designed to treat vascular conditions like rosacea. The QuadroStar Pro Green is especially useful for superficial vascular lesions, while the Pro Yellow’s unique wavelength penetrates deeper and treats both redness and pigmentation, making it perfect for more complex cases.
Unwanted Tattoos
Tattoo regret is increasingly common, with many people looking for safe and effective ways to remove or fade their tattoos. Because tattoo ink is deeply ingrained in the dermis, removal is a difficult process requiring advanced technology.
Laser tattoo removal works by producing rapid bursts of energy that break down tattoo ink into tiny particles, which are then naturally cleared by the body. Multiple sessions are often required, depending on ink colour, depth, and tattoo age.
The NanoStar and PicoStar are both designed specifically for tattoo removal. The NanoStar uses nanosecond pulses and multiple wavelengths to treat multicoloured tattoos effectively. Meanwhile, the PicoStar offers the fastest and most powerful picosecond technology in its class, achieving faster clearance with less skin trauma and shorter recovery times.
