We’re delighted to report that all Lasermed staff are now fully vaccinated with two Pfizer doses. For the safety of our clients, this is good news indeed. As everyone knows by now, widespread vaccination is a critical tool to help stop the coronavirus pandemic.

Since after lockdown, Lasermed has adhered to all COVID-19 prevention measures. This helped to ensure a COVID-safe environment for clients. These measures include compulsory wearing of masks, thorough sanitisation after every client and daily screening of staff.

With all staff fully vaccinated, we still can’t rest on our laurels. We politely remind clients to please cancel appointments should you suspect that you’ve contracted COVID. The safety of our staff and clients remains a top priority at Lasermed.

Our client Tania de Clerk was Lasermed’s guinea pig during our recent training on the Nordlys Frax 1550, a new fractional laser.

She writes, “I’m a huge fan of preventative skincare treatments. So, I was very excited when I was asked to review the Frax 1550 laser. Herewith my experience at Lasermed.

The low-down

“Being a non-ablative fractional or fractionated laser, it doesn’t wound or remove thin layers from the skin surface. Instead, it delivers a large number of very small spots per square centimetre of skin treated.

“A 1550 wavelength heats the dermis and the area of heat spreads down, below and outwards from each spot. And the heated area is known as a Micro Thermal Zone. Heating the dermis in a controlled way causes new collagen to form.

New collagen

While treatments only last a few minutes, replacing collagen in the treated area is a gradual process. Thus, you’ll note continual improvements for a 3- to 6-month period post-treatment.

“The good news is that the fractional resurfacing laser reduces fine lines and wrinkles. But even better, those caused by the sun, especially around the eyes and lips, respond best. It’s never too late or too early to treat wrinkles. After all, prevention is better than cure.

“As opposed to ablative resurfacing, the huge advantage of the non-ablative fractional laser resurfacing is that there’s minimal, if any, post-recovery period.”

Thanks Tania. We loved treating you!

Permanent make-up tattoos can go horribly wrong. So the caveat is: do your research before embarking on this journey. Makeup tattoos, or if we want to get technical, micropigmentation, involves depositing colour into the top layer of the skin using tiny needles or blades to tattoo the skin.

Cosmetic tattoos

Cosmetic tattoos have been around for many years. They’re now experiencing a renaissance thanks to more natural looking and advanced techniques. Many people want to get their eyebrows tattooed, lips, and even eyeliner. Some people choose eyebrow tattooing purely for cosmetic and practical purposes. But others may have lost their hair and therefore choose to do it.

Our solution

At Lasermed we’ve seen many botched eyebrow tattoos. Some go blue or red, others don’t follow the natural hairline, a few end up with twice as many eyebrows. Worse still, some people get infections and a couple of clients were left with startlingly unnatural looking brows that looked like they were done with a thick marker.

It’s important you do your research before delving into makeup tattoos. Look carefully into the background and experience of the person you choose. If you don’t, you could end up with permanent tattoos that you’ll regret forever.

On the featured photo, you’ll see the amazing job Alta van der Merwe of Lasermed did with tattoo removal on a client who was left with blue eyebrows. This was the result after five treatments. This particular client will now opt for microblading with a highly recommended technician.

Microneedling may work better for people with darker skin tones because it doesn’t involve heat the way laser treatments do, which can affect a darker skin’s pigmentation, or colour. And another upside is that microneedling is less expensive than laser treatments, which can cost about four times as much.

What it involves

Our Dermapen Advanced microneedling involves pricking the skin with tiny sterilised needles. These small wounds cause your body to make more collagen and elastin, which heal your skin and help you look younger. In essence, it’s called collagen induction therapy.

The Dermapen treatment may help with issues such as: acne, hair loss, hyperpigmentation, large pores, reduced skin elasticity, scars, stretch marks, sun damage, plus ine lines and wrinkles.

Special offer

Don’t forget about our special offer during the last week of February, through to end-March 2021.
