Skin appears clearer and more even over 2–4 weeks as pigment rises and clears. A course of 3–5 sessions is typically recommended.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) photorejuvenation to address sun damage, age spots, broken capillaries, facial redness, rosacea, and uneven skin tone. Broad-spectrum pulsed light selectively targets red and brown chromophores in the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact. Minimal downtime with temporary redness for one to two days. Series of three to five sessions recommended for progressive improvement.

Picofy picosecond laser by InMode for pigmentation correction, skin rejuvenation, melasma, freckles, age spots, and acne scar remodelling. Ultra-short picosecond pulses generate photoacoustic shattering of pigment granules with less heat than nanosecond lasers, reducing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Two to six sessions recommended depending on the condition treated. Minimal downtime.

ResurFX non-ablative fractional 1565 nm laser using Lumenis Stellar M22 technology to improve skin texture, fine lines, scars, and stretch marks without ablating the skin surface. The non-ablative approach preserves the epidermis while creating fractional thermal damage in the dermis to stimulate collagen remodelling. Minimal downtime — redness resolves within twenty-four hours. Three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart are recommended.

Laser tattoo removal using the Picofy picosecond multi-wavelength laser by InMode to shatter tattoo ink particles across a broad colour spectrum including black, dark blue, red, and other colours. Ultra-short picosecond pulses create photoacoustic shattering of ink particles that the immune system clears over subsequent weeks. Six to ten or more sessions are typically required, spaced six to eight weeks apart to allow clearance between sessions. Performed by board-certified dermatologists at Park Avenue Dermatology.

Fraxel Dual fractional laser using 1550nm and 1927nm wavelengths to address fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, melasma, age spots, and uneven skin texture. The 1927nm wavelength targets superficial pigmentation and the epidermis; the 1550nm wavelength penetrates deeper to remodel collagen in the dermis. Fractional delivery creates columns of thermal injury surrounded by intact skin for faster healing. Sessions run twenty to thirty minutes with one to three days of mild downtime.

Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing at 10,600nm wavelength for moderate to severe skin concerns including deep acne scars, significant wrinkles, sun-damaged skin, and textural irregularities. More aggressive than Fraxel with greater collagen remodelling depth. Fractional delivery limits downtime to three to seven days versus the weeks required for fully ablative CO2. Sessions run thirty to sixty minutes. Typically one to three sessions recommended.
