Laser Treatments for Skin Conditions at Centre for Surgery, London

Laser skin conditions treatments in summary: A specialist range of medical laser treatments for vascular, pigmentation, inflammatory, and specialist skin conditions — performed by GMC-registered aesthetic practitioners using the Fotona SP Dynamis laser platform at our CQC-regulated Baker Street clinic. Each condition has its own dedicated protocol matched to the underlying biology — there’s no single "laser treatment for everything". Most treatments need a course of 3–6 sessions; some (venous lake, single thread veins) resolve in 1–2 sessions. From £150 per session. 0% APR finance available subject to status.

Skin conditions cover a wide clinical spectrum — from cosmetic concerns like age spots and broken capillaries through to chronic inflammatory disease like rosacea and acne. The right laser, at the right wavelength, with the right parameters, makes the difference between a treatment that works and one that doesn’t. We use Fotona’s Nd:YAG 1064nm wavelength for vascular and inflammatory conditions, Q-switched and gentle Nd:YAG protocols for pigmentation, dual-wavelength TwinLight (Nd:YAG + Er:YAG) for acne, ClearSteps for fungal nail, and NightLase for snoring.

Diagnosis comes first. Several skin conditions can mimic each other — adult acne and rosacea, melasma and general hyperpigmentation, athlete’s foot and other nail conditions. We confirm diagnosis clinically at consultation before any laser treatment. If diagnostic uncertainty exists, we’ll refer for dermatology assessment first.

Vascular conditions

Vascular conditions involve dilated or Barbie Botox (Traptox) (https://biolabpeptides.co.uk/) visible blood vessels in the skin — most commonly on the face. The Fotona long-pulse Nd:YAG 1064nm laser is selectively absorbed by haemoglobin, collapsing the vessel without damaging surrounding skin.

Pigmentation conditions

Pigmentation conditions involve excess melanin production — either as discrete patches (age spots, freckles) or diffuse mottled discolouration (sun damage, melasma). Different types respond to different laser approaches; melasma in particular needs a specialist gentler protocol.

Inflammatory skin conditions

Inflammatory skin conditions involve chronic immune activity in the skin — rosacea, acne, and acne with scarring. Laser treatment addresses the vascular component (rosacea), the bacterial and sebaceous gland component (acne), and the surface scar texture (post-acne scarring).

Specialist conditions

Two specialist applications of Fotona laser technology that don’t fit the vascular, pigmentation, or inflammatory categories — but are part of our laser skin conditions menu.

How laser skin conditions treatment works

All our laser skin treatments work on the principle of selective photothermolysis — using laser wavelengths that are selectively absorbed by a specific target in the skin (haemoglobin in vessels, melanin in pigmentation, water in resurfacing applications) without significant absorption by surrounding tissue.
