FAQ About Laser Acne Treatment


Laser Technology is the most effective innovation in hair removal. The New York Laser Clinic is one of the first establishments to bring this technology to the UK.
We use the latest generation lasers which have inbuilt cooling systems resulting in faster, more effective and safer treatments.
We treat men and women, all skin types and body areas.

How does the laser work?

The laser beam is absorbed by the melanin or pigment in the hair and transports the heat to the hair folicle which then disables the hair.
The hair will then slide out of the hair folicle within 7-14 days.
As the hair grows in 3 stages, laser treatment is only effective in treating the hair which is in the Anagen or Active Growth Phase - this is the reason several treatments are required.

How many treatments will I need?

Usually between 4-8 treatments are required once every 6 weeks. Unless there is an underlying medical condition such as PCOS (Polycyotic Ovary Syndrome) or the client is taking medication which is stimulating hair growth.

What happens during treatment?

The area to be treated is assessed by the Laser Consultants and protective eyewear is given to the client to wear.
The laser is then applied to the area to be treated, gently sitting on the skin and the beam is delivered.
At all times the client is treated with dignity and respect. Client safety and comfort is our main priority.

What Is Restylane™ ?


Restylane™ is a transparent hyaluronic acid gel that is injected into facial tissue to smooth wrinkles and folds, especially around the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds). Restylane™ is made of non-anima based hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that is produced natually by the human body.

Restylane™ consists of 20mg/ml of stabilised hyaluronic acid and physiological sodium chloride solutoin with a pH of 7. All Restylane™ products are clear, transparent and viscous gels. The only difference between the products size of the gel particles. In constrast to some similar products, the hyaluronic acid in Restylane™ is not produced from animals. This means that there is no risk of animal or human disease being transmitted or allergic reactions being elicited if you are sensitive to common foods, such as beef, chicken and eggs.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that is found throughout your body. It gives volume to the skin, lubricates the joints and gives the eyes their shape. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane™ is stabilised for long duration and is not of animal or human origin.

How does it work?
Restylane™ works temporarily adding volume to facial tissue. The effect lasts for about 6 months.
Restylane™ maintains its shape using the body's own moisture. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane™ is hydrophilic or "water loving". As hyaluronic acid gradually degrades, each molecule binds to more water and over time, the same volume can be maintained with less hyaluronic acid. The ability of hyaluronic acid to bind water is what helps provide long lasting results.

Unlike other hyaluronic acid based products, such as those made from rooster combs, only Restylane™ is non animal based. This quality virtually eliminates any risk ofanimal based disease transmission or allergic reaction.

What areas can be treated?
Restylane™ can be used to smooth folds and wrinkles, enhance lips and shape facial contours. The most common areas are the glabeelar lines (between the eyebrows), the nasolabial folds (from the bottom of the nose to the corner of the mouth) and the lips, although other sites can also be treated. Very superficial or very deep wrinkles may be difficult to correct. Please consult your physician for an assessment.

How is treatment performed?
During treatment, crystal -clear Restylane™ gel is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The gel produces volume under the wrinkl, which is lifted and smoothed. When enhancing lips or facial contours, Restylane™ adds volume and shape to the area.

How long will my treatment take?
Treatment with Restylane™ is very quick and easy. As no pre-test is needed, the treatment canbe carried out immediately. A treatment generally takes from 30-45 minutes, although the time varies, depending on the correction you wish to have performed.

What will it accomplish?
restylane™ will help smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. In a clinical study most patients needed more than one injection to get a satisfactory result. The smoothing effect lasted about six months.

How soon before I can see results?
The results can be seen immediately.

Can Restylane™ be removed?
No. However, restylane™ dissolves naturally with time. If you feel uncertain about the desired results, you can choose to have the treatment done in steps on different occasions.

How long will Restylane™ last?
Restylane™ dissolves naturally over time and is absorbed by your body over time. Your results will depend on several factors including: your skin's structure, your lifestlye and your age. Experience indicates that touch-up and follow-up treatments will add to the duration. Most people choose to have a follow -up treatment within a year after the treatment of wrinkles and folds and within 6 months after a lip enhancement.

Can restylane™ replace surgical procedures?
No, althoug Restylane™ is sometimes used in conjuction with surgery to fill out wrinkles that cannot be removed by surgery.

Does Restylane™ get stiffer in cold weather? What happens in the sun?        
You should not expose the treated area to intense heat ( e.g. in a solarium or by sunbathing) or extreme cold for the first few days after the treatment in order to avoid the risk of inflammation as the area has been disturbed. However, once Restylane™ has intgrated into the body, it will adjust to your normal body temperature.


Are there any potential size affects?
Side effects may include:

*bruising
*Redness
*Swelling
*Pain
*Tenderness
*Itching


When should it be used?
Restylane™ should not be used in patients who have:

*Severe allergies marked by a history of anaphylaxis (Hypersensitivity to the indegestion or injection of a drug or protein)
*Multiple severe allergies
*Severe allergies to gram-positive bacterial proteins.

 FAQ Abut Perlane™

What is Perlane™?
Perlane™ is a transparent hyaluronic acid gel that is injected into facial tissue to smooth wrinkles and folds especially around the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds). Perlane™ is made of non-animal based hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that is produced naturally by the human body.


 What is a Perlane™ injection?
Your skin is made of two layers, with supporting columns holding them apart. The area in- between includes the clear jelly like substance hyaluronic acid. While young, the hyaluronic acid is in abundance. As you grow older, the acid between these layers diminishes and the skin somewhat caves, causing a wrinkly along the line. The wrinkle would be gone if you filled that area back up with the hyaluronic acid jelly like substance. That’s where Perlane™ comes in.

The Perlane™ is injected into the skin with a very thin needle. It is injected into this area and restores the natural volumes underneath the wrinkle. The wrinkle is now lifted up and smoothed out. All of this takes about 30 minutes, leaves no marks or scars and the results can be seen immediately.

Depending on the results you'd like, you can discuss maintenance with your doctor and the period between injections. Follow up injections typically need less Perlane™ to achieve the results you want. Time between injections is typically 6 to 12 months.

Perlane™ maintains its shape using the body's own moisture. The hyaluronic acid in Perlane™ is hydrophilic or "water loving". As hyaluronic acid gradually degrades, each molecule binds to more water and over time, the same volume can be maintained with less hyaluronic acid. This ability of hyaluronic acid to bind to water is water helps provide long- lasting results.

Unlike other hyaluronic acid based products, such as those made from rooster combs, only perlane™ is non animal-based. This quality virtually eliminates any risk of animal- based disease transmission or allergic reaction. (NB Restylane™ says the same!!)


 What is a Perlane™ treatment?
The Perlane™ is injected into the skin with a very thin needle, and restores the natural volumes underneath the wrinkle. The wrinkle is now lifted up and smoothed out. All of this takes about 30 minutes leaves no marks or scars and the results can be seen immediately.

What is Hyaluronic Acid?
All living organisms have hyaluronic acid in their bodies. In humans this is the substance that creates volumes in one's face, giving it a healthy, young appearance. You can imagine what hyaluronic acid does for a face when you consider the rounded face of a child, which forms into adulthood, and eventually recedes toward the skull causing furrow lines. When these are augmented by Perlane™, this crystal clear hyaluronic acid combines with your own to revitalise the face.


Where can Perlane™ be used?
Hyaluronic acid implantation can be used to improve the skin's contour and reduce depressions in the skin due to scars, injury or lines.

Facial lines and features that can be corrected using hyaluronic acid implantation:

*Worry lines that run across the forehead (forehead lines)
*Crow's feet at the corner of the eyes (periorbital lines)
*Frown lines that run between the eyebrows (glabellar lines)
*Smokers lines which are vertical lines on the mouth (perioral lines)
*Marionette lines at the corner of the mouth (oral commissures)
*Deep smile lines that run from the side of the nose to corners of the mouth (nasolabial furrows)
*Cheek depressions
*redefining lip border
*Acne scars
*Some facial scars


How long will my treatment take?
Treatment times typically range from 30 to 45 minutes.

What will it accomplish?
Perlane™ will help smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. In a clinical study most patients needed one injection to achieve optimal wrinkle smoothing. About one third of patients needed more than one injection to get a satisfactory result. |The smoothing effect lasts about six months.


How long will Perlane™ last?
Perlane™ dissolves and is absorbed by your body over time. Your results will depend or several factors including; your skin's structure, your lifestyle and your age.

Most people choose to repeat Perlane™ treatment from nine months to a year after wrinkle treatment and within six to nine months after lip enhancement.

Where are Muscle Relaxing Treatments used?
It is most effective for wrinkles that are visible when smiling, laughing, raising the eyebrows or for crow’s feet around the eyes. These wrinkles are called "dynamic" and tend to be much less noticeable when your face is completely relaxed. It also works well for banks in the neck.



How are Muscle Relaxing Treatments administered?
A very small amount of muscle relaxing treatment is injected into each of the target areas using a very small needle. Because the needle is fine, only a small amount of the liquid is injected and the associated discomfort is minimal. Most patients compare the sensation to a light pinch. No sedation or local anaesthetic is necessary and you can resume normal activities immediately afterwards.


Are the injections painful?
The injections are very small and done with a tiny needle that usually does not cause discomfort. The pressure sensation associated with the injection goes away very quickly and patients can return to normal activities immediately after the procedure.

When will I notice the difference and how long will it last?
The treatment takes three to eight days to take full effect which can sometimes be hastened by contracting the facial muscles. The results usually last from 3 - 5 months. Often, repeated treatments can lead to longer results. The effects of muscle relaxing treatments are confined to the treatment sites.


What happens as treatment begins to wear off?
As the muscle relaxing treatment wears off the wrinkles will begin to reappear but frequently they are not as deep or noticeable. To maintain the smooth, youthful appearance year round, it requires three to four injections. With repeat treatments, the effects tend to last longer thus requiring fewer injections.

What is a Chemical Peel?
Chemical peels involve the application of a chemical solution to remove the dead and damaged outer layers of skin. Chemical peels improve and smooth skin texture and help to reveal younger, clearer, more radiant skin. Chemical peels, also known as "Lunchtime Peels" are traditionally performed on the face, hands and neck to treat fine lines, wrinkles, age spots and skin discolouration. Chemical peels are also effective in treating mild scarring and acne.

What type of peel is right for me?
Your meeting with your NYLC Consultant is an integral part of the process. The type of treatment which is the right for you will be determined by you and your NYLC consultant, to provide you with the greatest benefits.


How long do treatments take?
Often referred to as "Lunchtime Peels", these treatments can be performed in about 15 to 20 minutes.

Is there any downtime?
The in-office treatments require little or no recovery time. Although there is typically no downtime, after a treatment, depending on the customisation of the procedure, you may experience redness the day of the treatment and minor peeling in the days following the procedure. Depending on your skin you may or may not experience peeling. If peeling occurs, it usually begins 2 to 4 days following your treatment and last approximately 3 days. In addition you may experience mild itching and irritation.

How does Green Peel™ work?
Green Peel™ - Herbal Deep Peeling Treatment consists of a special blend of plants and natural herbs. In contrast to other exfoliating creams or methods, it does not contain any chemicals or synthetic peeling agents.

Green Peel™ increases the blood circulation of the skin and causes the upper epidermal layers to peel off. The stimulated blood circulation intensifies metabolism and promotes healthy, more youthful looking skin.


What are the side effects?
It is perfectly safe and has no side effects. If the herbal preparation should inadvertently come in contact with the eyes, it will not cause them to sting or water.

How does the skin peel when no chemical substances are used?
When the Green Peel™ compound is massaged into your skin, the herbs own micro particles lightly polish the upper layers of skin (epidermis removal). Other active ingredients in the herbal preparation also penetrate the skin where they are absorbed by the cutis within 48 hours. Once absorbed they release valuable, natural active substances such as vitamins, plant hormones, enzymes and other beneficial ingredients into the skin. The absorbed active substances increase the blood circulation of the skin and cause the upper epidermal layers to peel off. The stimulated blood circulation intensifies metabolism and promotes healthy more youthful- looking skin.

How does the skin look after the treatment?
After the treatment the skin may be red and slight irritation similar to a mild sunburn may be experienced.

Three to four days later exfoliated skin begins falling away. During this time you can work normally and should not need to take time off.

On the fourth or fifth day a follow up treatment takes place. Your NYLC professional will, if necessary, massage and use a rich active preparation on the new skin, which is now very absorbent. There is no redness on the resurfaced skin. The complexion is considerably improved - fresh, clear and radiant.
