FAQs
What guidelines should I follow before and after treatment?
Before your laser skin treatment, we would ask you to remove all make-up and skin lotions from the face, and avoid tanning or excessive sun exposure for 4 weeks beforehand. Aftercare instructions are specific to each type of treatment and will be made clear to you by Dr Hussein. The aftercare instructions should be strictly followed and strenuous activities should be avoided for at least one week. Sun exposure should be avoided for 4 weeks after most laser treatments and 6-8 weeks after fully ablative resurfacing. Sunscreen can cause irritation so Dr Hussein will advise at what stage this can be started after treatment.
What is fully ablative laser resurfacing?
This is a type of treatment in which Dr Hussein specialises and can only be performed by the most experienced laser surgeons with the right type of equipment. Indeed, there are only a handful of laser surgeons worldwide that are capable of performing it effectively. Fully ablative treats a range of issues such as wrinkles, laxity, acne scars, pigmentation, sun damage and pre-cancerous lesions. It reduces your risk of developing facial skin cancers in the future by removing damaged pre-cancerous cell groups such as actinic keratoses (which can later develop into basal cell or squamous cell skin cancers). It is the most powerful skin treatment and the gold standard for acne scarring and skin rejuvenation. Just take a look at the gallery results for fully ablative CO2 and Erbium YAG laser. Effectively as a treatment it is a controlled second degree burn and therefore the operation and would management can only be performed by an experienced laser surgeon. In the UK it is only Dr Hussein that is capable of achieving results like this. It has taken years and many hundreds of cases to arrive at this level. The results achieved after this type of laser resurfacing for acne scars or rejuvenation are permanent.
