What is Ageing Skin?
As we grow older, our skin goes through some natural changes - as well as changes caused by external factors such as exposure to sun, diet, lifestyle and hereditary.
Effects of ageing on skin
As you age, your skin naturally becomes more fragile and less elastic. The appearance of wrinkles is caused by the decreased production of natural oils which dries your skin. Loose, saggy skin caused by fat diminishing in deeper layers of your skin causes more pronounced crevices and lines in the skin. Some external factors which cause wrinkles include:
Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light
Smoking
Repeated facial expressions
Fine Lines
Fine lines are usually found around the mouth and eyes and are formed by repetition of facial expressions. Similar to wrinkles, they are caused by loss of elastin and collagen in your skin, combined with external factors like sun damage and lifestyle habits.

Baby Face Facial FAQs
How does it work?
The Baby Face Facial, uses the LaseMD Ultra™, a cutting-edge 1927nm fractional THULIUM laser, to create tiny microchannels in the skin while using a unique drug delivery system with an active which is tailored to your specific skin needs. The laser will stimulate collagen production and boost the skin’s natural healing process. This non-invasive treatment helps improve texture, tone, and overall skin health as well as addressing any skin concerns you may have.
What can I expect after treatment?
You may experience redness or warmth on the skin, similar to a mild sunburn. This is usually resolved within 24 hours. You may also notice mild flaking or peeling as your skin rejuvenates - this is completely normal and can be managed with a gentle moisturizer. To protect your skin, avoid sun exposure and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen throughout the healing process.
Downtime varies based on the individual and treatment intensity, but most patients can resume normal activities within a few days.

How many treatments will I need?

What can I expect during my Baby Face treatment?
We begin by cleansing the skin and applying a topical numbing cream for maximum comfort during treatment. The laser is then gently passed over your skin, creating micro-channels that stimulate your skin’s natural healing process. The procedure takes 20-40 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

The Dermapen™ is a revolutionary micro-needling device which aims to tighten, lift and rejuvenate skin. It can remove acne scarring and reduce fine lines and wrinkles, the appearance of pores and stretch marks.
How the Dermapen™ works
The Dermapen™ works by puncturing the skin with 11 micro-needles through a spring-loaded automated function. This stimulates healthy collagen production and encourages the skin to repair and regrow through normal physiological processes. You may experience slight discomfort during the treatment, but you can receive a numbing cream beforehand to reduce this. After the treatment, erythema (redness) of the skin can appear for a few hours up to a day. This will usually heal quickly.
