How AcuPulse laser rejuvenation work

The laser device breaks up the laser energy into several tiny beams to target a specific area. This ensures that the surrounding skin is unaffected during the process. The laser energy then penetrates the deeper layers of your skin and heats water and tissue. This in turn stimulates your body’s natural wound healing response while boosting the production of collagen and elastin. As a result, your skin undergoes a regenerative phase resulting in a smoother, vibrant, and younger-looking appearance.

Am I a potential candidate for the treatment?

  • Abnormal skin discoloration
  • Deep wrinkles

What should I expect during the treatment?

A topical anaesthetic cream is applied to the area being treated and left to work for 45 minutes. This is then removed and the Acupulse treatment area marked out. You will be required to wear protective eye shields during your treatment.  Mild discomfort is usually experienced. Most patients find that Acupulse treatment is a relaxing experience.

How long does the treatment take?

Depending on the size of the body area, the treatment can take 15 to 90 minutes to complete.

A full face generally takes 45 minutes.

How many treatments will I need to achieve my desired results?

Most patients require one  AcuPulse treatment to achieve noticeable results. In some cases, a second treatment may be necessary for serious skin conditions. The number of treatments will depend on your age, skin thickness, and skin condition. This will be determined by your doctor during your initial consultation.

What to expect after the treatment?

After your AcuPulse laser treatment, it is normal to experience redness, swelling and oozing in the treated area. You may notice the presence of a fine grid-like pattern on your skin. During the first week your skin will start to peel and you may develop some crusting around the mouth area.  This is expected and part of your body’s natural wound healing response. After one week, redness, swelling, and other discomforts should disappear. Once your skin has peeled you can see the fresh new skin which is smooth, silky and dewy. To keep your skin healthy as you heal, you will need to take your prescribed medications if required and ointment provided by epiclinic.
