In such cases, the surgeon may make a second incision around the navel so that the excess skin can be removed. The position of the navel remains unchanged Skin of the lower abdomen that contains stretch marks may well be removed as well. Any remaining stretch marks may be flattened and improved, but you should not expect a dramatic change in their appearance. The procedure may include tightening of the underlying abdominal muscles. What are some variations to the common abdominoplasty technique? There are variations both to the design of the incisions and the technique itself. When the amount of loose skin is minimal and the excess fat deposits are located below the navel, a short horizontal incision is all that is necessary.

This depends on the area being treated and ranges from 15 minutes for the upper lip or chin and bikini line to 45 minutes for the back or the legs.What should I expect following the treatment? At the end of each treatment, the area which has been lasered may show slight reddening which tends to disappear after only a few minutes. The hairs remain in the skin but those that have been damaged by the laser will gradually drop out over the following 2 weeks. This sometimes gives the appearance of the hair growing more quickly than normal but is really due to the hair being shed from the skin.Is laser hair removal safe? As only light energy is used to remove the hair it is a non-invasive procedure, which is perfectly safe. The laser settings used are individually chosen for your skin type and hair colour, which minimises the risk of any significant skin reaction. This is also helped by the use of a cooled tip on the laser hand piece that protects the skin from thermal injury.What is the cost? The cost of laser hair removal is dependant on the time taken to carry out the procedure and this depends on the surface area being treated. Larger areas like the legs or back are more expensive than the lips or chin and we are happy to provide prices on request.Where can I get it?

Provided the recommendations above have been followed, in the majority of cases the same veins will not recur but new veins can with time appear at other sites and require treatment at a later date. There is no doubt that some people have a tendency to produce these unwanted veins and may continue to do so even following successful treatment.Does the treatment hurt? Generally speaking laser thread vein treatment is well tolerated but the larger the vein the more discomfort will be felt and for this reason we often apply a topical local anaesthetic cream prior to the procedure.What can I expect following treatment? Immediately following the treatment, the treated veins will become red and swollen but not painful and occasionally small areas of blistering or crusting can occur. These reactions usually disappear within hours or a few days and the area needs to be kept well moisturised and away from sunlight. The treated veins take up to 8 weeks to absorb before the final result can be seen and further treatments carried out as necessary.Where can I get it?
