Laser & IPL

Laser Rejuvenation: Either laser resurfacing, non-ablative laser, or IPL or a combination of these may be used for fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin surface texture, uneven pigmentation, and surface capillaries. The latest non-ablative techniques offer low “down-time”, with rapid return to normal activities.

Resurfacing: This covers a range of procedures including Laser resurfacing, chemical peels, and micro-dermabrasion. These treatments can help with acne scarring, surface irregularities and fine lines.

Skin tightening: A range of surgical procedures are available to tighten skin in a number or areas, including trunk, thighs, arms and face. This may be necessary after weight loss, pregnancy, or simple the effects of gravity over the years.

An exciting new non-surgical treatment is now available at GPS for skin tightening, without any surgical scars. Known as Titan, this high intensity light based treatment can cause loose skin to tighten, and new collagen to be laid down under the surface. This is especially useful in the face, and tummy, and allows return to normal activities very quickly, even back to work the same day if you wish.

Hair removal

Whatever your skin type or hair colour, we can tailor a permanent hair reduction program to suit your needs. We have both the Xeo laser system, for effective hair reduction in all skin types, and the Aurora system, for the optimal removal of hairs of all colours, including blond hair.

Treating abnormal blood vessels

Facial Capillaries and Spider Veins: These can be due to sun damage, hormonal changes, previous injuries, surgery or some patients are just genetically predisposed to get them. In any case these can be treated effectively with laser therapy.

Birth Marks: “Port wine” stains and other types of vascular birthmarks can be faded using laser treatments.

Leg Veins: Surface spider veins, and some deeper blue veins can be treated with laser therapy.

Treating skin pigmentation

Irregular skin pigmentation can be unsightly, due to sun damage, hormonal changes, pregnancy, or simply even freckles. These problems can be dealt with using IPL technology, peels or laser treatment.
