Here we provide some answers to the most common questions, if you have other questions which are not answered here, please email us at:
How does the Apogee laser Work?
The Apogee Elite emits a beam of light that heats the target area (follicle or vein). The light energy damages the target area whilst sparing the surrounding skin. After a period of time, a reaction will occur (ie The follicle will exfoliate, or the blemish will slowly and naturally disappear).
What conditions can the Apogee treat?
The Apogee can treat unwanted hair and a wide range of skin conditions in lncluding, sun damaged skin, leg and facial veins, spider veins, rosacea, lines and sunspots.
Does the Apogee laser work for all skin types?
Yes, including dark and tanned skins.
How many sessions would I need?
It depends on the selected treatment(s). Removing hair may require additional sessions depending on skin and hair type. Treating sun damaged skin takes about 4-6 sessions, while 2-3 sessions are recommended for treating veins and age spots.
Are there side effects?
Side effects are minimal. Patients sometimes report redness or localised swelling but these conditions are almost always gone within 24 hours.
When will I see results?
Again, this depends on the selected treatment(s), with some conditions one treatment may suffice but with others it may take 2-6 sessions to see the complete results.
How long do sessions take?
Typically, hair removal takes about 15 minutes although larger areas will naturally take longer. Treatments for facial and leg vessels and sun damaged skin are similar in length.
How does the treatment feel?
Patients sometimes report a mild discomfort but this is alleviated with a stream of cold air used in conjunction with the laser.
How do I know if I am a suitable candidate for treatment?
If your skin is showing signs of any of the aforementioned conditions then you are potentially a candidate.
