Treatment: Mosaic^®

What is Mosaic Fractional Laser

The Mosaic Fractional Laser is a state of the art laser system using Controlled Chaos Technology which in effect causes multiple microscopic lasers being applied to the skin in random sequence, in a fashion not unlike spray painting.

This fractional laser can give astonishing results. You can now easily and with minimal downtime regain that youthful look. The treatment stimulates new collagen production and restores that youthful glow to your skin.

Now you can have a youthful appearance by treating those conditions that are typically associated with premature signs of aging and sun damage such as: excessive redness, large pores, uneven texture, fine-lines and wrinkles.

What are the uses for Mosaic

The Mosaic can show an astonishing improvement in fine lines and wrinkles around areas such as the eyes and mouth. The treatment can correct uneven skin colour, minimize the effects of sun-damage, reduce pore size and can substantially improve overall skin texture. This laser will also improve – by diminishing the appearance of scarring from either acne or surgical procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a treatment take?

It takes about an hour after the topical anaesthetic is put on.

Are Mosaic treatments painful?

Prior to the treatment you will receive treatment to ensure that you are not uncomfortable during the laser procedure. Typically all that is needed is topical numbing crème and ibuprofen. We take extra care to ensure that you will be comfortable during the treatment and afterwards. We will provide you with post-treatment care instructions and will also schedule a follow up visit to chart your progress.

How many treatments will I need?

After your first treatment you may see a very positive change, but for best longer lasting results you will require about 3 treatments. In the case of deep acne scarring you may require 5 treatments.

What areas of the body can be treated?

You can have treatment on the face, neck, décolleté, hands, arms, abdomen and scars – on most places.

How will I look after Mosaic treatments?

Your facial appearance will be red and swollen – somewhat like sunburn. This can be covered with make-up. You can return to you regular routine or work the next day. Within 48 hours your skin will undergo ‘bronzing’ and there will be shedding of flakes. When this is completed your skin will be smooth and glowing. The changes are completely natural and while you may receive remarks about how good your skin looks, there will be no evidence that a laser procedure has been done other than an improvement in your appearance. The collagen production that is stimulated by the treatment continues for 6 -12 months, so you will continue to see additional subtle changes.
