What Skin Concerns Can Laser Treatments Address?
Different laser technologies target different structures and layers of the skin. Depending on your concerns, treatment may focus on visible pigmentation, blood vessels, skin texture or selected signs of skin ageing.
At Face and Body Adelaide, we assess individual skin concerns before discussing appropriate treatment options.
Acne Scarring & Uneven Skin Texture
Acne can leave different types of scars, including depressed or uneven areas of skin. Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing and RF microneedling may be considered for selected acne scars, depending on their type, depth and your skin characteristics.
Some scars may require other procedures or a combination of approaches. Treatment aims and limitations are discussed during your assessment, as complete scar removal cannot be guaranteed.
Pigmentation, Sunspots & Melasma
Sun exposure and other factors can contribute to brown spots, uneven skin tone and pigmentation changes.
Certain laser treatments may be appropriate for selected sun-related pigmentation. However, pigmentation conditions have different causes and do not respond to treatment in the same way.
Melasma requires particular caution. Heat and inflammation associated with some laser procedures may worsen pigmentation or contribute to recurrence. Assessment of the underlying condition is important before considering laser treatment.
Rosacea & Facial Redness
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that can involve persistent redness, flushing and visible facial blood vessels.
Vascular laser treatment may help reduce selected visible vascular features associated with rosacea, but it does not cure the condition. Other causes of facial redness may require different management.
Spider Veins & Broken Capillaries
Small, visible blood vessels may appear around the nose, cheeks and other areas of the face.
Face and Body Adelaide also assesses selected spider veins on the legs for potential treatment. Suitability depends on the vessels’ size, depth and location, as well as your medical history. Not all leg veins are appropriate for cosmetic laser treatment.
Fine Lines & Skin Rejuvenation
Laser skin rejuvenation may be considered for selected concerns involving fine lines, uneven tone, rough texture and sun-related skin changes.
Different laser procedures have different treatment effects and recovery requirements. The most suitable approach depends on your skin characteristics, concerns and preferences.
Laser & Skin Treatments at Face and Body Adelaide
Face and Body Adelaide offers several laser and energy-based technologies for different skin concerns, including fractional resurfacing, non-ablative skin treatments and vascular laser procedures.
Our laser equipment is primarily located at the Torrensville clinic, with consultations and selected treatments also available at Newton.
COâ‚‚ Laser Resurfacing
Fractional COâ‚‚ laser resurfacing delivers controlled laser energy into the skin, creating microscopic treatment zones that initiate a healing and remodelling response.
It may be considered for:
- Selected acne scars
- Uneven or rough skin texture
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged-looking pores
- Certain sun-related skin changes.
Face and Body Adelaide offers different CO2 resurfacing options, including medium and deeper treatments. The appropriate treatment intensity depends on your skin, concerns and clinical assessment.
COâ‚‚ resurfacing can involve visible redness, swelling, peeling and crusting. Deeper procedures generally require more recovery, and additional risks can include pigmentation changes, infection and scarring.

Fractional COâ‚‚ laser resurfacing may be considered for selected skin concerns, including uneven texture, fine lines and certain types of scarring. Treatment suitability, recovery and potential risks vary between individuals.
Laser Genesis & Green Genesis
Face & Body Adelaide uses the Cutera Excel V+ laser platform, including Laser Genesis and Green Genesis treatment protocols.
Laser Genesis uses 1064 nm laser energy and may be considered for selected concerns involving diffuse facial redness, fine lines, uneven texture and enlarged-looking pores.
Green Genesis uses a 532 nm wavelength and may be considered for selected superficial redness and pigmentation concerns.
Both are non-ablative laser approaches, meaning they do not remove the outer skin layer in the same way as fractional CO2 resurfacing.
Treatment suitability, settings and expected outcomes vary according to the skin condition being addressed.
Vascular Laser Treatment for Rosacea, Spider Veins & Redness
The Cutera Excel V+ platform can deliver targeted laser energy to selected visible blood vessels.
Vascular laser treatment may be considered for:
- Facial spider veins and broken capillaries
- Selected redness associated with rosacea
- Visible blood vessels around the nose and cheeks
- Diffuse facial redness
- Selected superficial vascular concerns.
The clinic also assesses certain spider veins on the legs to determine whether laser treatment may be appropriate.
Not all visible vessels are suitable for laser treatment. Assessment of the vessel characteristics, location and relevant medical history is necessary, and some concerns may require referral or another management approach.
Rosacea may require ongoing management, as vascular laser treatment does not permanently cure the condition.
Hollywood Carbon Laser Facial
The Hollywood Carbon Laser Facial combines a carbon-based preparation with laser energy.
It may be considered for selected surface skin concerns involving oiliness, visible pores and uneven texture.
Your practitioner can explain the procedure, its limitations and whether it is appropriate for your skin.
Other Skin & Energy-Based Treatments
Laser treatment isn’t the only approach that may be considered for skin texture, scarring or firmness concerns.
RF Microneedling: Combines controlled microneedling with radiofrequency energy. It may be considered for selected acne scarring, uneven texture and skin firmness concerns.
HIFU Skin Tightening: Uses focused ultrasound energy rather than laser energy. It may be considered for certain concerns involving mild skin laxity.
Your practitioner will discuss whether laser treatment, another procedure or a different approach is appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are skin and laser consultations complimentary?

Comprehensive in-person skin assessments are available for $50. This fee may be credited towards eligible treatment if you decide to proceed, subject to treatment suitability and applicable conditions.

Can I have a consultation without visiting the clinic?
Yes. Face & Body Adelaide offers complimentary phone and video consultation options, including Registered Nurse consultations, for people who cannot initially attend Torrensville or Newton.
A physical skin assessment may still be necessary before a treatment recommendation can be confirmed or a procedure performed.
Which laser treatment is suitable for my skin?
Can laser treatment help with acne scars?
Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing may be considered for selected acne scars, particularly certain depressed scars and uneven skin texture.
However, acne scars differ in shape and depth, and some may require other procedures or a combined approach. Improvements vary and complete scar removal cannot be guaranteed.
Can melasma be treated with laser?
Laser treatment isn’t suitable for every case of melasma. Because melasma can be sensitive to heat and inflammation, certain laser procedures may worsen pigmentation or contribute to recurrence.
A careful assessment is needed to determine whether laser, another treatment or a different management approach is appropriate.
Can vascular laser treatment help with rosacea and spider veins?
How many laser treatment sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on the procedure, skin concern and individual treatment response.
Some treatments may be planned as a single session, while others may involve a course of treatments. Your practitioner will discuss the proposed treatment schedule and any limitations before you proceed.
Is there downtime after laser skin treatment?
Recovery depends on the type and intensity of treatment.
Non-ablative treatments such as Laser Genesis may involve temporary redness, warmth or sensitivity. Vascular laser treatment can also cause swelling, redness or temporary changes in the appearance of treated vessels.
Fractional CO2 resurfacing generally involves more downtime, including possible redness, swelling, peeling and crusting. Redness can persist after the initial surface healing period.
Laser treatments also carry potential risks such as burns, pigmentation changes, infection and scarring. Your practitioner will explain the risks and recovery expectations relevant to your proposed procedure.
Are laser treatments suitable for all skin types?
