ADVANCED DERMATOLOGY TREATMENTS
At Rejuvena Laser & Aesthetic Clinic in Bedford, we provide specialized laser treatments for various skin conditions using the medical-grade Lynton Motus AY laser. Our expert team is dedicated to helping you achieve healthy, clear skin through safe and effective procedures. Below, you’ll find brief descriptions of the conditions we treat and how our laser treatments can help.
FOLLICULITIS
Folliculitis is an inflammation of the hair follicles, often caused by bacterial or fungal infections. It appears as small red bumps or white-headed pimples around hair follicles, which can be itchy and uncomfortable.
Using the Lynton Motus AY laser, we target the infected hair follicles with precise laser energy. This destroys the bacteria or fungi causing the inflammation, promoting healing and preventing future outbreaks. Laser treatment is effective for reducing inflammation and clearing up folliculitis quickly.
PILONIDAL SINUS
A pilonidal sinus is a small cyst or abscess that occurs in the cleft at the top of the buttocks. It often contains hair and skin debris, leading to pain and swelling. If left untreated, it can become infected and form an abscess.
The Lynton Motus AY laser helps by targeting and removing the hair and debris within the sinus, reducing inflammation and promoting healing. Laser treatment is a less invasive alternative to surgery, reducing recovery time and minimizing the risk of recurrence.
PYOGENIC GRANULOMA
A pyogenic granuloma is a small, red, benign skin growth that often bleeds easily. It can appear anywhere on the body but is most common on the hands, arms, and face. These growths are usually caused by trauma or hormonal changes.
How We Treat Pyogenic Granuloma:
Our laser treatment uses the Lynton Motus AY laser to precisely target and remove the granuloma. The laser cauterises the blood vessels within the growth, effectively removing it and minimising bleeding. This method is quick, with minimal discomfort and downtime.
VENOUS LAKE
A venous lake is a small, dark blue to purple benign lesion that commonly appears on sun-exposed areas like the lips or ears. It is caused by a dilation of tiny blood vessels and is typically harmless but can be cosmetically concerning.
We use the Lynton Motus AY laser to treat venous lakes by targeting the dilated blood vessels with precise laser energy. This causes the vessels to collapse and be reabsorbed by the body, reducing the appearance of the lesion. Laser treatment is effective and results in minimal scarring.
FLAT SEBORRHOEIC KERATOSIS
Flat seborrhoeic keratosis is a common non-cancerous skin growth that appears as a brown, black, or light tan spot. These growths can be flat or slightly raised and have a waxy, scaly appearance.
Our laser treatment precisely targets and removes the keratosis, leaving the surrounding skin unharmed and promoting smooth skin.
VIRAL WARTS
Viral warts are skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can appear on any part of the body and are often rough and raised.
The Lynton Motus AY laser effectively destroys the wart tissue by targeting the blood supply, causing the wart to shrink and eventually fall off.
ACTINIC KERATOSIS
Actinic keratosis is a common pre-cancerous skin lesions that appears as a crusty, rough, small growth on the sun exposed areas such as face and lower arms. It’s important to get these treated as if left untreated, a small proportion of them may turn into skin cancers in the future.
Our laser treatment precisely targets and removes the keratosis, leaving the surrounding skin unharmed and promoting smooth skin.
