    How it works

    From our thirties the skin makes less collagen, and in the Cairns sun it loses what it has faster. The skin starts to sit lower along the jaw and the neck.

    The laser warms the deeper layer of the skin without breaking the surface. The skin reads that heat as a small injury and repairs itself with new collagen over the following weeks, so the firmness comes on gradually.

    Karen chooses the laser and the settings for your skin type and the area being treated. The clinic runs medical-grade lasers built for this kind of work, and she has been using lasers for over 35 years.

    30 to 60 minutes a session. You go straight back to your day.

    Is it for me?

    This treatment suits you if:

    • You've noticed softness along the jaw, cheeks or neck and want to firm it without surgery.
    • You'd like a result people put down to a good night's sleep.
    • You can manage a short course of sessions a few weeks apart.

    Not suitable if:

    • Your skin is very loose or heavily sun-damaged. A surgical opinion may serve you better.
    • You're pregnant, have an active skin infection in the area, or have had filler recently. Tell Karen at the assessment.

    What to expect

    1. Before

      Come with clean skin and no makeup on the area. Karen goes over the plan she gave you at the assessment.

    2. During

      The session feels like a run of warm pulses. Some areas are more sensitive than others, and none of it needs anaesthetic. It takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on the area.

    3. After

      You might look a little pink for a few hours. The skin tightens over the following weeks as the collagen builds, and most people see the change from the second or third session. Karen's personalised aftercare covers looking after your skin in the sun.

    Questions people ask

    How many sessions will I need?

    Most people have three to six, three to four weeks apart. Karen gives you a plan at the assessment and adjusts it as your skin responds.

    Does it hurt?

    It feels like warm pulses on the skin. Most people find it comfortable, though the jawline can be more sensitive than the cheeks. No anaesthetic is needed.

    How long do the results last?

    The collagen you build is yours, and ageing carries on, so many clients come back once or twice a year.

    Can I go back to work the same day?

    Yes. Some pinkness for a few hours is the most you'll notice.

    Is it safe in the Cairns sun?

    Yes, with sun protection afterwards. You'll get specific instructions, and sessions are timed around any big outdoor plans.

    What does it cost?

    Karen quotes a price for the course in writing at the free assessment, once she has seen your skin and knows how many sessions it needs. There's no obligation.
