At Mapperley Park we treat lots of youngsters and young skin has a own specific problems, particularly acne, excess hair growth, especially on the face, and stretch marks, which can be anywhere on the body and can be due either to growth or to pregnancy in young girls.
I developed stretch marks quite late on during my pregnancy and wanted to be able to wear a bikini and that kind of thing. So came along, had a consultation with Joan to see if she could sort them out and and I’d also had a C-section when Alfred was born. So she said that she’d be able to laser that for me as well and its definitely taken away a lot of the redness in the scar in particular, it was very raised, and now it’s become quite flat, and my stretch marks have pretty much gone.
So I’m delighted.
For people with acne, the aim is to get the skin behaving itself better by using a short, very short sequence phases, and it can be anything from 2 to 4 sessions, just to get the skin under control and then keep it controlled with products.
As a young person, I just always remember always having bad skin. I can’t remember ever not having bad skin. They had a specific acne treatment using lasers. It’s completely non-painful, and it was just sort of little bursts over problem areas. And then I had another treatment especially just for scarring.
And you notice after a few months, your skin starts to regenerate. And it did look like, God! Hair removal normally takes 6 to 8 sessions, again, a relatively short course of treatment to get things under control, and then sporadic treatments may be needed in the future.
The treatment I had done was laser treatment in the lower half of my face and to remove the hair I had there, and the reason I had it was because I had more stubble on my face than most males. The first time I had a treatment, it was once a month and I did that for seven or eight months and which is pretty much getting under control.
And then after that I’ve done it basically whenever I feel it’s necessary which is about every 3 to 4 months. Sometimes going 6 months. It’s affected everything. Yeah, pretty much. My personality, my home life. I’m just happy with myself. Now I know when people are talking to me, it’s me they’re talking to, not the hair on my face.
