TARGET. TREAT. REVIEW.
Clinically targeted light energy that treats a range of skin concerns, from fine lines and pigmentation to acne scars, vascular lesions and thread veins.
ABOUT LASER TREATMENT
Laser treatments work by delivering focused light energy into the skin at precisely calibrated wavelengths. Different wavelengths target different chromophores (water, melanin or haemoglobin), so the laser can target pigmentation, surface texture, vascular irregularities or deeper skin changes while limiting the effect on surrounding healthy tissue.
The heat generated by absorbed laser energy creates a controlled micro-injury in the target area. The body’s healing response then takes over: collagen production is stimulated, damaged cells are replaced, and the skin’s structure is remodelled over the weeks that follow.
Prof. Hindocha’s practice offers laser as part of a comprehensive non-surgical skin portfolio. Treatment selection is based on a thorough skin assessment, ensuring the correct laser type and parameters are chosen for your specific concern and skin type.
WHAT LASER CAN TREAT
Different laser wavelengths and parameters allow targeted treatment of distinct skin conditions. The right laser for your concern is selected at consultation based on your skin type and treatment goals.
SKIN REJUVENATION
Fine Lines & Surface Renewal
Stimulates new collagen to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and rough skin texture while improving overall tone and radiance. Results build progressively with each session in the course.
SUN DAMAGE & PIGMENTATION
Age Spots & Uneven Tone
Targets melanin in age spots, solar lentigines, and areas of uneven pigmentation. The laser energy breaks down the pigment, which the body then naturally clears over 7–14 days.
ACNE SCARRING
Textural Scarring & Marks
Fractional laser energy remodels the fibrous scar tissue beneath the skin surface, progressively improving texture, tone, and the visibility of post-acne marks over a treatment course.
VASCULAR LESIONS
Thread Veins & Vascular Marks
Targets haemoglobin in thread veins, spider naevi, rosacea, and vascular marks. The laser collapses the vessel wall, which the body naturally absorbs. Some patients need only one or two sessions.
TREATMENT AT A GLANCE

Follow-Up
Your treatment plan is agreed at consultation, after an assessment and a discussion of what you hope to achieve.
AFTER YOUR TREATMENT
Day of Treatment
The treated area will feel warm and appear flushed, similar to mild sunburn. This is a normal response. Apply prescribed soothing products, keep the area cool, and avoid sun exposure entirely from this point forward.
Days 1–3
Redness and mild swelling continue to subside. Some patients experience minor crusting or flaking, particularly following pigmentation and vascular treatments. Continue gentle cleansing and apply the prescribed aftercare products as directed.
Days 4–10
The skin looks progressively clearer as treated lesions and pigmentation break down and the body naturally clears the debris. Residual redness fades by day 7 in most cases. Collagen remodelling is underway beneath the surface.
Week 2–4
Progressive improvement becomes visible as collagen production and tissue remodelling continue. A review appointment at 2–4 weeks assesses the response and determines whether further sessions are recommended.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Laser outcomes depend on the condition treated and the number of sessions completed. For pigmentation and vascular lesions, visible clearance often begins within days. For skin rejuvenation and collagen-driven changes, results develop progressively over 3–6 months following a course of treatment.
WHY PATIENTS CHOOSE LASER
Laser energy targets specific skin structures without affecting the surrounding tissue. This precision allows treatment of individual lesions, defined pigmentation areas, or vascular irregularities with minimal effect on the healthy skin around them.
A single treatment modality addresses a wide range of concerns, from surface pigmentation and fine lines to structural skin changes and vascular conditions. This versatility makes laser a cornerstone of a comprehensive skin management plan.
By triggering the body’s own healing and collagen production process, laser treatment produces improvements that compound over time. Laser works on the skin itself rather than covering a concern up.
Each session builds on the last. Most skin rejuvenation programmes involve a course of treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with results progressively improving as collagen remodelling accumulates between appointments.
THE MECHANISM
Focused Light Energy
A calibrated laser beam targets the treatment area with precision. The wavelength is selected to match the specific chromophore in the skin (water, melanin or haemoglobin), so the energy is absorbed mainly by the target tissue.
Controlled Thermal Injury
The absorbed energy creates a controlled micro-zone of heating in the target tissue. This disrupts the old or damaged structure while leaving adjacent healthy skin intact, which triggers the body's natural healing response.
Collagen Remodelling
As the healing response unfolds over weeks and months, fibroblasts lay down new collagen and elastin fibres. Changes in texture, tightness and pigmentation can continue to develop for up to 6 months after treatment.
IS THIS TREATMENT RIGHT FOR YOU?
Laser treatment is suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns. Candidacy depends on the specific condition being treated, your skin tone, and your current skincare routine. A thorough assessment ensures the correct parameters are selected for safe and effective results.

After years of being unhappy with my breasts after breastfeeding, I'm so glad I trusted my instincts and waited until I found the right surgeon. From my first consultation, Professor Hindocha made me feel completely at ease and I knew I could trust him. I'm only a week post-op and already love my results. I feel incredibly lucky to have found him and truly believe I found the best surgeon.
