Skin Rejuvenation

Did you know that many clients consider regular laser rejuvenation treatments as part of their skin care routine?

Many clients at Burnside Cosmetic will have a combination treatment plan which includes a medical grade skincare homecare regime, cosmetic medical treatments as well as laser rejuvenation treatments. Amongst other things, laser skin rejuvenation stimulates our skin to produce collagen and elastin, the building blocks of our skin that is produced less as we age. Laser facial rejuvenation can also target blemishes, acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles. A laser facial treatment can be offered to clients who wish to start their skincare journey without cosmetic treatments or as an adjunct for those who already have these treatments.

Everyone has different skin needs depending on your age, lifestyle and previous skincare history, which is why we offer a varied range of medical grade laser / IPL rejuvenation treatments to best cater to your skin. Our most popular treatments include PicoSure Laser Rejuvenation, Laser Genesis & Limelight, which can be offered in conjunction with our range of chemical peels and skin boosting treatments. We also recommend a prescribed personalised home skin care regime.

Our treatments can help you achieve a more youthful and refreshed look, target specific problem areas and create a natural and rejuvenated look and feel for your skin. No surgery, no downtime and results you can see sometimes as soon as your first treatment.

PicoSure Laser Treatment

for Collagen and Elastin Stimulus

This is one of Burnside Cosmetic’s most popular treatments. With PicoSure, your skin will look bright, healthy and glowing all day long—even without makeup. Fast and gentle, it treats freckles, sun damage, birthmarks and more.

  • PicoSure works in harmony with your skin to lighten pigmentation such as freckles, sun damage and more. It breaks up the tiny particles that make up these discolourations. The particles are then absorbed into the skin.

  • For starters, PicoSure is the most versatile short-pulse laser in the world. It treats skin discolouration, acne scarring and fine lines and wrinkles. Other products and lasers may treat these as well, but PicoSure is the only way to achieve great results quickly, gently and with virtually no downtime.

  • PicoSure’s ultra-fast pulses and specialised wavelengths work together to minimise the amount of heat that is transferred. Less heat means less damage to surrounding skin and less risk of injury.

  • Skin revitalisation results are long lasting, but some skin discolouration can recur. Some patients find that a PicoSure Focus treatment every six months can help prevent accumulation of skin discolouration and slow the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

  • Most people experience very little discomfort. Some describe it as feeling like the snap of a rubber band. We can provide numbing cream to minimise discomfort.

  • It depends on what’s being treated and your skin’s ability to heal. Typical treatment intervals are 2-6 weeks for skin discolouration. Treatments for acne scars and wrinkles using the Focus lens array can be performed every 3-4 weeks. Your treatment provider will create a plan just for you.

Laser Genesis

for Evening Out Skin tone and Texture and treating facial redness

Laser Genesis is a breakthrough non-ablative laser treatment that stimulates the skin’s natural processes to diminish the signs of ageing and sun damage, and promote a vibrant, healthy-looking complexion.

  • Laser Genesis is a non-invasive laser treatment that stimulates collagen production to improve skin tone, reduce fine lines, and diminish redness.

  • Laser Genesis works by gently heating the dermis, which stimulates collagen production and shrinks dilated capillaries, resulting in improved skin texture and reduced redness.

  • Laser Genesis is a comfortable and gentle procedure, often described as warming and soothing to the skin.

  • Results can be seen after just one treatment, but a series of treatments (usually 4-6) scheduled 2-4 weeks apart may be recommended for optimal results.

  • There is no downtime after Laser Genesis, and patients can resume their regular activities immediately after the treatment.

  • Laser Genesis can effectively treat fine lines, wrinkles, redness, large pores, uneven texture, and acne scars.

  • Yes, Laser Genesis is suitable for all skin types and can be used on any part of the body.

  • A typical Laser Genesis session takes about 20-30 minutes, making it a convenient lunchtime procedure.

Limelight IPL

for redness and dark spots on the face, neck, decolletage and hands

Say goodbye to skin redness, brown spots and sun damage with the non-invasive LimeLight IPL treatment! Delivered in a pulse of light this treatment delivers results with minimal discomfort. This treatment is suitable for arms, legs, hands or the face, neck or décolletage and successfully treats a combination of redness and pigmentation in each pulse!

  • Limelight IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target pigmentation, redness, and sun damage.

  • Limelight IPL works by delivering pulses of light energy that target melanin and hemoglobin in the skin, treating sun spots, freckles, redness, and vascular lesions.

  • Limelight IPL is suitable for most skin types, but a consultation is required to determine if it is suitable for your specific skin concerns.

  • Limelight IPL can improve the appearance of sunspots, freckles, redness, rosacea, and vascular lesions on the face, neck, chest, and hands.

  • The number of Limelight IPL treatments needed varies depending on the severity of the skin concern, but most patients benefit from a series of 3-5 treatments spaced about 3-4 weeks apart.

  • There is minimal downtime after Limelight IPL, with some patients experiencing mild redness or darkening of pigmented spots that typically resolve within a few days.

  • Potential side effects of Limelight IPL may include temporary redness, swelling, or darkening of pigmented areas, but these are usually mild and temporary.

  • Limelight IPL is commonly used on the face, neck, chest, and hands, but it can also be used on other areas of the body with sun damage or pigmentation concerns.

  • Most patients describe Limelight IPL as comfortable, with a sensation similar to a mild rubber band snap on the skin. A cooling gel is often applied to minimise discomfort during treatment.
