Working with
LUMINA® Technology
LUMINA® technology is recognised for its efficacy and safety in hair removal, making it a trusted option used by the NHS and aesthetic clinics worldwide.
Skin Rejuvenation
We utilise LUMINA® technology, with a proven safety record, to offer solutions for all visible signs of ageing caused by sun damage, including brown spots (pigmentation), redness (thread veins), uneven skin texture, lines, and wrinkles. It is also suitable for vascular lesions, skin tightening, and wrinkle reduction. This treatment can be used in combination with illumi-facial for enhanced results.
How Does Light-Assisted Skin Rejuvenation Work?
Pulses of light are emitted to target skin discolouration, creating a more youthful, even complexion. The light energy stimulates fibroblast cells, increasing the production of new collagen and elastin. This improves skin texture, smoothing out lumps and bumps while reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
What Does the Treatment Feel Like?
Treatment can be mildly uncomfortable, but no anaesthesia is required. Most people describe the discomfort as moderate and acceptable, similar to a quick pinprick, along with a warm sensation.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Visible results can be seen after just a few treatments. However, for optimal outcomes, a minimum of 3 to 6 sessions is recommended, depending on your skin concerns. Treatments are carried out every 4 to 6 weeks, with maintenance sessions typically needed once or twice a year.
Who Is Suitable for Treatment?
Most people are suitable for treatment. We recommend scheduling a consultation with your clinician to determine if this treatment is right for you.
Hair Removal
We offer LUMINA® which utilises Dynamic Reflex Technology for comfortable and effective hair removal treatments. This world-leading technology boasts a proven safety record and is suitable for dense, coarse hair, delivering effective results for a range of skin types. LUMINA® ensures a seamless experience by targeting hair follicles with precision while minimising discomfort, making it an ideal choice for those seeking lasting results in hair removal.
How does light-assisted hair removal work?
The light emitted by the device is absorbed by melanin within the hair. This is then converted into heat energy, damaging the hair follicle.
What does the treatment feel like?
Treatment sensation varies but you can feel what is described as the ‘hot fl ick’ of an elastic band during treatment. However, thanks to Dynamic Refl ex Technology, most clients describe the discomfort as moderate and tolerable.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions required varies from client to client and is dependent on many factors. Results can be seen after just a few treatments. However, a minimum of 6 and up to 12 treatments, are recommended to deliver the best results.
Who is suitable for treatment?
Most people are suitable for treatment. We recommend a consultation with your clinician to ascertain if the treatment will be successful for you. Grey/white hair has no melanin so is not recommended for treatment.
Acne
Combat inflammation, and reduce the severity and frequency of breakouts, whilst also diminishing redness and pigmentation.
How does the laser treatment work?
Light emitted directly targets the overactive sebaceous glands, greatly reducing the total number and severity of active lesions. This lessens infl ammation and the frequency of breakouts. The light stimulates the production of new collagen to improve skin texture and scarring and can also reduce the appearance of red or brown areas of skin that are often associated with acne breakouts.
What does the treatment feel like?
Treatment is mildly uncomfortable but there is no need for anaesthesia and the procedure is actually quite quick. Sensations vary but most people describe the treatment as feeling like a very quick, hot pinprick.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions required varies from client to client and is dependent on many factors. Though results can been seen after a few treatments, a minimum of 4 and up to 8 treatments, at 4-week intervals, deliver the best results.
Who is suitable for treatment?
Almost everyone can be treated, apart from tanned individuals. If you are pregnant or taking Roaccutane (an acne medication) it is best not to undergo treatment until you have been off the medication for a minimum of 6 months.
Facial / Body Vessels
We can provide a great solution to facial concerns such as red flushing (rosacea), thread veins and red spots. Your skin tone will appear more even, healthier and brighter.
How does the treatment work?
Light energy is applied to the skin where it is readily absorbed by blood vessels, heating them to a point where they are destroyed. Following treatment, the vessels quickly clear as they are reabsorbed by the body, leaving little or no trace of the original lesion.

How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions required varies from client to client and depends on many factors, however, a course of treatments is recommended. Though small lesions may clear in just a single session, a minimum of 3 and up to 6 treatments, at 4-week intervals, deliver the best results, depending on the skin concern.
Who is suitable for treatment?
Most people are suitable for treatment. Best results are obtained for lighter skin types. We recommend a consultation with your clinician to ascertain if the treatment will be successful for you.
Tattoo Removal
Q-Switched Lasers are considered by dermatologists to be the most elective, safe and reliable way to remove unwanted multi-coloured tattoos with elective results.
How does the treatment work?
Q-Switched Lasers that generate a high powered beam of laser light in an extremely short pulse are the most suitable lasers for tattoo removal treatments. This very short pulse of high powered laser light is absorbed by the tattoo’s ink particles, breaking these down into smaller pieces, and enabling your natural immune defences to absorb the ink. Gradual fading of the tattoo occurs over a series of treatments.
What does a laser treatment feel like?
Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a hot pinprick or the flick of an elastic band. Whilst this is mildly uncomfortable, most people tolerate treatment well. A skin cooling device may be utilised to reduce any discomfort.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on several factors, including the density and colour of inks and the age of the tattoo. Amateur tattoos can be quick to remove, taking between 1 to 6 treatments. Professional tattoos vary considerably and some can take up to 15 treatments. Repeat treatments are spaced every 6-10 weeks. Generally, a course of treatments is required for optimum results.

Fungal Nail
We use Lynton LUMINA® laser light to destroy fungus.
How does the laser work?
Light is absorbed by the water in the skin underneath and around the nail, creating heat. This heat helps to destroy the dermatophytes and eliminate the fungal infection. The laser applicator is placed on the nail and a short pulse of light is released. The entire nail bed and nail matrix is then treated in this way.
What does a laser treatment feel like?
A warm sensation and some discomfort are felt during treatment. However, a skin cooling device can be used to make treatment as comfortable as possible.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of treatments required varies, although typically 3-6 treatments are needed for optimum results. These results become apparent as the nail grows out. Due to the slow rate of toenail growth it may take several months for the results to be seen.
