Treatment
Laser skin resurfacing
Resurfacing tells the skin to build fresh, even tissue. Used for acne scars, rough texture, fine lines and years of sun, alongside peels and microneedling when they do a better job.
What it involves
- Numbing where needed
- A controlled pass over the treated area
- Cooling and protection
Who it may suit
- Acne scars
- Rough texture and large pores
- Fine lines
- Sun damage
Benefits
- Precise depth control
- Visible change in texture after a course
- Can be combined with microneedling and peels
Your consultation
Every skin is different. At your free consultation your practitioner explains the results you can expect, how many sessions it usually takes, and anything to know before you decide.
Risks and side effects
- Redness and swelling for days
- Temporary darkening or lightening
- Rarely, infection or scarring, which looking after the skin properly afterwards helps to minimise
Every risk is explained again, in writing, on the consent form before any treatment starts.

Questions people ask before booking
How much downtime is there?
It depends on the depth. Some settings mean a day or two of redness; deeper work means more. You will be told exactly what to expect before you decide.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. About 40 minutes, in person, in London, Birmingham or Manchester. You leave with a written plan and the price. No obligation.
How much will it cost?
It depends on what your skin needs. Your figure is written into your plan at the free consultation, before you decide, and there are flexible instalment options with no interest or admin fees.
Who carries out the treatment?
A trained practitioner, with a written consent form, and an explanation of how to look after your skin afterwards. If a treatment is not suitable for you, we will say so and suggest what will work instead.
Does it hurt?
Most treatments feel like warmth, tingling or a quick sting rather than pain, and numbing cream is used where it helps. The practitioner tells you exactly what to expect for your treatment before you decide, and you can stop at any point.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on the treatment and on your skin. Many plans are three to six visits over six to ten weeks; some single treatments are one visit. Your written plan says the number before you pay for anything.
When will I see a difference, and how long does it last?
Some treatments show a change within days; those that work by building collagen take six to twelve weeks to show fully. How long results last depends on the treatment, your skin and how well it is protected from the sun. The practitioner gives you a realistic timeline rather than a promise.
What is the downtime?
Anything from none to a few days of redness or peeling, depending on the treatment. Each treatment page says what to expect, and the plan is timed around your diary where it matters, for example before an event.
Is it safe for darker skin?
Darker skin has more active pigment cells and marks more easily, so settings and treatments are chosen for your skin type and some are avoided. Tell us your skin type at the consultation and the plan is built around it.
Who should not have it?
Pregnancy, some medications, active infections and certain medical conditions rule some treatments out. The consultation goes through this with you, and if a treatment is not suitable the practitioner says so and suggests what will work instead.
Can I combine treatments?
Often, and the programmes are built that way. The order matters: active acne is calmed before scarring is treated, for example. The practitioner sets the sequence.
What do I need to do afterwards?
Your practitioner explains how to look after your skin, for example keeping the area cool with something like aloe vera gel. Daily sun protection is part of every plan because without it pigmentation and sun damage come back.
How do I pay?
Visit by visit, or by flexible instalments with no interest or admin fees. You know your number in writing before you decide.
What if I change my mind?
The consultation is free and carries no obligation. Any deposit for a course is stated in your written plan before you pay anything, together with the cancellation terms.
