What laser treatments do we offer? 

Here at Aesthete Wellness, we make use of the NexGen Lasers Multi-Functional IPL and Picosecond Laser system, which offers a range of advanced laser treatments designed to address specific skin concerns and enhance overall skin health and appearance.

Our treatment options include:

What is Picosecond Laser?

Picosecond Laser is an advanced, non-invasive laser technology used in skin aesthetic treatments to address a variety of concerns using ultra-short bursts of energy — measured in picoseconds (one trillionth of a second). This rapid pulse delivery breaks down pigmentation, ink particles and damaged skin cells with minimal heat, making it a gentler and more precise treatment option.

What is IPL Laser?

IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. It is a broad-spectrum light-based technology used in aesthetic treatments. Unlike traditional lasers, which emit a single focused wavelength of light, IPL devices emit multiple wavelengths, typically between 500–1200 nm. The light is delivered in brief, intense pulses that penetrate the skin, where specific wavelengths are absorbed by targeted pigments or structures such as melanin in hair or haemoglobin in blood vessels. The absorbed light is then converted into heat, which damages the target cells while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are laser treatments painful?

Most clients describe the sensation as mild and tolerable, like a quick snap of an elastic band against the skin. A cooling gel or air-cooling system is often used during treatment to enhance comfort.

Is it safe for all skin types?

IPL is generally best suited for lighter skin tones, while Picosecond laser treatments are safe and effective for a broader range of skin types. Your technician will conduct a thorough consultation to determine the most suitable option for your skin and advise if any pre-treatment products are recommended.

What aftercare should I follow?
  • Always follow the post-treatment instructions and guidance provided by your technician
  • Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 48 hours
  • Apply SPF 50+ daily
  • Avoid harsh skincare products and exfoliation for 5 – 7 days
  • Keep the skin hydrated and protected
