Aura laser is one of our classic lasers. We have been using it in one of its forms for over 13years. We think it is still the best laser for treating blood vessels and spider angioma. It is also a great laser for background redness and flushing, red and purple birthmarks like haemangiomas and port wine stains. And we use this laser for removing and lightening pigmented marks like freckles lentigines and chloasma.

The Aura laser is also used for a cosmetic procedure called photo rejuvenation. Photo rejuvenation is where we use the laser light to heat up the deep dermis where the fibroblasts live and then the fibroblast cells start to make new collagen which then crosslinks with elastin and plumps up and smooths the skin hence rejuvenation making the skin look as it was when you were younger.

But the best bit about the Aura laser is not just how effective this laser is, but that the laser has almost no downtime especially for rejuvenation. So it really is a walk in walk out laser treatment or cosmetic procedure in the case of photo rejuvenation.

An ideal person for aura may have some veins and pigmented spots also that get removed.

Fillers are a great cosmetic procedure for rejuvenation, softening lines scars and depressions, enhancing lips, cheek bones and eyebrows and replacing lost volume in the face which often shows up as sagging skin or jowles or nasolabial cheek folds.

Hyaluronic acid filler works like medical grade clear poly filler lifting out and filling lines depressions and scars. Also used for volumising face and often place across lines as a scaffold to reduce ongoing folding of the skin.

Our hyaluronic acid fillers are bioidentical across all species so allergy is extremely rare and we have never seen any so no testing is required.

This hyaluronic acid is identical to the molecule sitting within the 3 dimensional crosslinking of collagen and elastin in our skin and holds water giving our skin its full feel (both soft and firm).

So because it is hydrophilic and holds water it can lead to some initial swelling, which settles in a day or two.

Other risks include bruising from the needle (not the product), irregular or uneven filling which can be fixed, cold sores if you are prone to get them, and even rarer risk of infection or granuloma.

As hyaluronic acid fillers are acidic, they do sting when the filler is injected and usually local anaestheic is required.

It is not permanent and does need to be redone.

How long a filler lasts depends on which filler is used. Other factors such as position (less for lips and longer tear troughs and acne scars),

movement (so lasts less in lips of smokers), metabolism ( athletes and dancers break it up quicker) also determine when the filler needs to be redone.
