Targeting common signs of ageing and scars
Cutting-edge laser therapy can be an extremely powerful tool in rejuvenating skin for natural-looking results. At Lumiere Clinic, we offer IPL, radiofrequency, and laser resurfacing treatments in Manchester to target the following skin concerns:
We offer three main types of laser and light treatments in Manchester:
RESURFACE for lines, wrinkles and scars: Er: YAG fractional laser targets both the superficial (epidermis) and deep (dermis) layers of the skin. It stimulates cell renewal on the epidermis, which smoothens out the texture of the skin. It also targets the dermis by promoting the relaying of collagen. This treatment can improve skin texture, reduce static lines, wrinkles and acne scarring.*
REBRIGHT for discoloration: 585 IPL technology treats hyperpigmentation, vascular outbreaks and areas of redness.* This treatment can improve discoloration on the skin such as redness, dilated veins, freckles and sun spots. *
REMODEL for firmness: Radiofrequency causes micro-vibrations (dermal heating) within the skin to help produce new collagen and elastin. This leads to a subtle lifting and tightening effect for skin that has lost its firmness.* This treatment is useful for areas that have lost its firmness and tend to sag such as around the eyes and jawline.

How IPL Works
• When treating vascular lesions, the light heats up the blood vessels, causing the vessels to either instantly
collapse, or the blood to coagulate within the vessel. Over the following weeks, the damaged vessels are
absorbed naturally by the body.
• When treating pigmentation, pigment (melanin) will absorb the light, which
causes them to heat up. The heat created damages the cells containing the melanin, while causing minimal
damage to the surrounding skin. Following treatment, the damaged lesions turn darker and may crust. Over
following weeks pigmentation can gradually fade away from the skin, leaving little trace of the original mark.
• IPL also has a mild rejuvenating effect. It can help to stimulate collagen synthesis and overtime, the skin can
be firmer.
• Typically 1–6 treatments are required depending on the type of lesion being
treated. More sessions are likely to give better results. Maintenance treatments are recommended, and
treatments can be repeated every 6–12 months, or longer depending on need.
• Please note if IPL is performed on areas of hair growth, it can lead to temporary or permanent hair loss on
the area of treatment.
During IPL treatment – what to expect
• When treatment is performed, you are likely to experience a warm sensation in your skin, sometimes it can
feel like an elastic band hitting on the skin.
• You will need to wear safety goggles throughout the treatment and have your eyes closed. Despite closing
your eyes, you can still see a bright light. Please rest assure that your eyes are safe with goggles on.
How Radio Frequency works
• Radiofrequency (RF) is a non–surgical method for mild skin tightening,
particularly for around the eyes, lower cheeks, jawline and neck. It uses energy
waves at 2MHz to generate dermal heating, which stimulates new collagen and
elastin growth, resulting in stronger and firmer skin. RF treatments do not
replace surgery or injectable procedures.
What to expect
• The treated area can be red or pink in colour immediately after the treatment
and this may last for a few hours. It will also feel warm to the touch during this
time.
• Results are generally subtle and gradual, and may vary between individuals.
• Multiple treatments are required. Typically, 6 sessions two weeks apart for a
course of treatment.
• Best results are seen after a course of treatments and the results may continue to
be seen 3–6 months after the end of your course.
• We advise monthly maintenance treatments to help maintain the results.
It is always recommended to have a consultation first to discuss what you want to achieve and your expectations. We can then tailor them accordingly with the treatments that we have. Sometimes, a combination of treatments may be required to achieve best results. The appropriate treatment options will be discussed, along with the potential benefits and risks to ensure you are fully informed before going ahead with any procedure.

This procedure takes less than a hour. Mild improvement is usually seen after the first session. Depending on your skin concerns, our Consultant Dermatologist and laser practitioner may recommend a course of 3-6 treatments to achieve the best results. Treatment is usually carried out every 2-6 weeks.
A course of treatments (3-6) may be needed to achieve best results. The results are longer-term and usually last up to 12 months or longer when you complete your full treatment course.
Immediately post-treatment, most people will look like they have a mild to moderate degree of sunburn. Some swelling can occur. The skin may feel warm and tighter than usual. Some flakiness and bronzing could occur. Full healing may take up to a week to achieve brighter and clearer skin.
*Individual results and reactions may vary.
