Laser Treatments by

Dr. Justin Evans

Laser treatments are a versatile and effective solution for a range of previously difficult to treat skin concerns. From wrinkle reduction, collagen formation and skin tightening, to scar reduction, pigment issues, skin redness like rosacea and even unwanted tattoos.

At Dr. Justin Evans Skin & Aesthetics, every procedure is personally performed by Dr. Justin Evans, ensuring precise, tailored care with state-of-the-art technology and evidence based aesthetic treatments.

Ablative and Non-Ablative Lasers

Dr. Justin Evans utilises both ablative and non-ablative laser technologies to provide highly customised treatments for various skin concerns:

  • Ablative Lasers: These lasers work by removing the outer layer of skin (epidermis) while heating the underlying layers (dermis). This stimulates collagen production and allows new skin to grow smoother and tighter. Ablative lasers are ideal for addressing deep wrinkles, significant sun damage, and scars.
  • Non-Ablative Lasers: Non-ablative lasers work beneath the skin’s surface without removing the outer layer. They stimulate collagen growth and improve skin tone and texture with little to no downtime. These are perfect for minor imperfections like redness, pigmentation, and early signs of aging.

During your consultation, Dr. Evans will carefully assess your skin to determine the best approach—ablative or non-ablative—based on your goals and skin needs.

Each session typically lasts 15–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area and the condition being addressed.

All treatments are individually tailored to the patient’s needs, concerns and desired outcomes. As a result, prices vary from patient to patient, condition to condition. Come in for your individual assessment to discuss your treatment needs and applicable pricing.

Noticeable results often appear after the first session, with optimal outcomes visible after completing the recommended treatment plan. This timeline varies based on individual skin needs and treatment type.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does laser treatment work?

Laser treatments use focused light energy to target specific skin concerns. The laser energy penetrates and interacts with the skin, stimulating collagen production and rejuvenating the skin, breaking down pigmentation, or removing superficial skin lesions depending on the treatment.

When will I see results?

Some improvements can be seen after the first session. However, multiple sessions are often needed for optimal results, depending on the condition being treated.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments varies. For example:

Dr. Evans will provide a tailored treatment plan during your consultation.

What does a laser treatment involve?

Dr. Evans begins with a thorough consultation and skin assessment. The skin is prepared with gentle cleansing and eye protection applied.

The laser device is then gently moved across the skin evenly or specific targeting areas depending on the treatment. At times a cooling device may also be used over the surface of the skin. The session ends with post-treatment care guidance.

What skin concerns does laser treatment address?

Laser treatments can improve the following:

Does it hurt, and is there any downtime?

This is variable and depends on the laser device used and the skin concern being treated.

Most patients experience little to no discomfort during treatment, often described as a warm, tingling sensation. For those procedures that may have a little more discomfort associated, topical anaesthetic is applied prior to your procedure and a cooling device may also be used during the procedure.

Downtime varies by treatment: most procedures like non-ablative facial rejuvenation have no down time and could even be undertaken during your lunch break, while other more ablative treatments may involve mild redness for 7 to 10 days.

Are there side effects?

Side effects are typically mild and may include redness, swelling, or slight sensitivity in the treated area. These effects usually resolve within a few days.

What precautions should I take pre and post-treatment?

  • Pre-treatment: Avoid any topical preparations the day of treatment, minimise sun exposure, and ensure no artificial tan has been applied to the skin for at least 2 weeks. Certain medications can make the skin more sensitive to laser treatments so ensure all medications are discussed prior to treatment.
  • Post-treatment: Soothing balm is applied immediately after treatment and SPF 30+ mineral sunscreen is applied. Avoid direct sun exposure without skin protection, remain hydrated and follow Dr. Evans’ personalised aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
