Cosmetics & Lasers

Acne can leave behind more than just temporary breakouts — for many, it results in long-term scarring that impacts both skin texture and confidence. Scars may appear as red or pigmented marks, or as textural depressions such as rolling, ice pick, or boxcar scars. In some cases, deeper scarring or raised (keloid or hypertrophic) scars can also occur.

The best approach is to manage acne early to minimise the risk of permanent scarring. However, if scarring has already occurred, we offer a range of effective treatments to improve the appearance of the skin.

Common concerns treated:

• Atrophic Acne Scarring
• Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (Pih)
• Post-Inflammatory Erythema (Pie)
• Textural Irregularities
• Surgical Or Traumatic Scars

Treatments may include:

• SkinPen microneedling – collagen induction therapy that encourages natural healing and scar remodelling
• PicoSure Pro laser – non-invasive laser that improves pigmentation, tone, and mild scarring with minimal downtime
• Derma V laser – to target post inflammatory erythema (red marks).

Leg veins or Spider veins are red or blue veins that are closer to the skin surface and much smaller than bulging varicose veins. They are usually found on a person’s leg or face. Women tend to get the problem more often than men.

Factors that can increase your risk of developing spider veins include:

• Crossing your legs
• Being immobile for an extended period of time
• Obesity
• Minimal exercise
• On your feet for an extended period of time

Treatment

• Cynergy vascular laser
• YAG vascular laser

Spider and reticular veins can be treated without incision and minimal discomfort in less than one hour.

Pigmentation concerns are among the most common skin issues we treat. While some pigmented lesions are present from birth, many develop over time due to sun exposure, hormonal changes, or inflammation.

Pigment often appears as one of the earliest signs of skin ageing and can manifest in both small spots or larger, patchy areas.
Although most pigmentation is benign, some types may indicate an underlying medical condition. We recommend consulting one of our dermatologists if you are concerned about any changes in your skin.

Common types of pigmentation include:

• Sun spots (solar lentigines)

Stretch marks are a common cosmetic concern that occur when the skin is rapidly stretched, causing the collagen and elastin fibres to tear. This often happens during periods of rapid growth, such as puberty, pregnancy, weight gain, or muscle development.

Stretch marks begin as red, pink, or purple lines (vascular striae) and over time fade into white or silvery streaks, indicating long-standing changes in the dermis. While harmless, they can impact skin confidence and texture.

Common Areas Affected

• Abdomen
• Thighs
• Hips
• Breasts
• Buttocks
• Upper arms

How We Treat Stretch Marks

While stretch marks cannot be completely removed, we offer clinically proven treatments that stimulate collagen production and improve overall skin texture, tone, and appearance.

Treatment options include:

🔹 SkinPen Microneedling

• Creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to trigger natural collagen and elastin production
• Effective for white/silver stretch marks (older scarring)
• Softens texture, improves skin tone, and blends striae with surrounding skin
• Best results seen after multiple sessions

🔹 DermaV Laser (Lutronic)

• Targets red or pink stretch marks (vascular striae) using a precise wavelength that clears visible vessels and reduces redness
• Also stimulates collagen for added skin renewal
• Suitable for face and body with minimal downtime

Skincare Support

Healthy, resilient skin requires more than just in-clinic treatments — it needs ongoing care and maintenance at home. At Sinclair Dermatology, we offer cosmeceutical-grade skincare and targeted recovery support to help you achieve the best possible outcomes from your treatments, and to maintain long-term skin health.

Why Skincare Matters

Consistent, medical-grade skincare can:
• Prolong and enhance results from laser, needling, and peel treatments
• Support skin healing and barrier repair
• Address active skin concerns such as acne, pigmentation, and ageing
• Prevent recurrence of chronic conditions such as melasma or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
• Maintain skin clarity, hydration, and strength between treatments

In our society, it has become a trend that less hair is more desirable. People have been using conventional hair epilation methods such as waxing, threading, plucking, shaving and depilatory creams that provides short-term result only. Laser hair removal treatment effectively destroys the hair follicle, providing permanent ‘hair reduction’. In some cases, this treatment has seen to improve the condition of skin infections caused by the follicles (folliculitis) and boils on the skin from follicles (Hidradenitis Suppurativa) Treatment

• The Vectus Diode – great for treating larger skin surfaces. An entire back can be treated in under 15 minutes!
• The Max Y laser – great for removal of fine and light pigmented hair
• Nd: YAG laser – great for anyone with a dark skin tone

Wrinkles are folds and creases in the skin and are formed due to two main factors:

Intrinsic ageing from the natural stages of human degeneration such as the loss of elasticity, collagen and hydration. Crow’s feet, or wrinkles that appear at the corners of the eyes, are one of the earliest signs of ageing.

Extrinsic ageing which is from environmental factors such as sun exposure. Most wrinkles appear on parts of the body where sun exposure is greatest, including the face, neck, back of hands and top of forearms.

We can’t stop time, but we can slow down the ageing process by stimulating the skin cell production to do the following:

• Soften wrinkles (rhytides) and fine lines
• Improve skin tone and texture
• Plump and rejuvenate cheeks, nasolabial folds and under eyes
• Refine lines on the neck and décolletage
• Tighten enlarged pores
• Prevent further wrinkles
• Rejuvenate hands and fingers

Laser skin resurfacing is a non-invasive cosmetic surgery technique that uses light energy to gently stimulate the natural growth of collagen to improve pores and the skins texture to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Ablative fractional lasers use laser energy to penetrate deep into the layers of the skin and removes it. It is great for treating damage on the area where the lip meets the skin, cholesterol pockets near the eyes (syringoma), removal of warts and reduce overgrowth on the nose. Recovery time depends on the depth and surface area being treated.

Non-Ablative fractional lasers produce columns of energy that penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin but does not remove it. It is great for treating fine lines, enlarged pores and any kinds of textural concerns. There is no downtime using this laser treatment and recovery time generally ranges from 30mins to overnight.

With a unique combination of leading-edge technologies, our skin revitalisation light-based treatments target all three layers of photodamaged tissue, epidermal pigment, mid-dermal wrinkles, and deep-dermal laxity.

Treatment

• Botox
• Non-Ablative Fractionated laser
• Ablative Fractionated laser

Treatment options may include:

• PicoSure Pro laser – ultrashort pulses of laser energy target pigment without harming surrounding skin. Excellent for melasma, sun spots, freckles, and PIH
• DermaV laser – ideal for fairer skin types and mixed pigment-redness concerns
• Medical-grade chemical peels – from Aspect Dr and Dermaceutic, designed to exfoliate and improve pigmentation and clarity. Sometimes recommended in conjunction to laser therapies.
• Skincare is Essential: Pigmentation — particularly melasma and PIH — is often chronic and prone to recurrence. Skincare is a crucial part of managing and maintaining results, and should never be overlooked.
• Our clinicians will develop a tailored skincare plan that may include:
  • Medical-grade cosmeceuticals – to regulate melanin production, exfoliate gently, and support the skin barrier
  • Topical pigment inhibitors – such as azelaic acid, kojic acid, arbutin, niacinamide, vitamin C and many more!
  • Prescription-strength topicals – including hydroquinone, tretinoin, or combination therapies where medically appropriate, supervised by our dermatologists
  • Ongoing sun protection – daily use of broad-spectrum SPF is essential to prevent further pigmentation
• When combined with in-clinic treatments, these products not only enhance results but also reduce relapse and support long-term skin clarity.

As we age, skin begins to lose collagen, elastin, and hydration — leading to visible signs such as fine lines, deep-set wrinkles, thinning skin, and volume loss. These changes are due to intrinsic ageing (natural degeneration) and extrinsic ageing (sun exposure, pollution, lifestyle, etc.).

Common concerns include:

• Crow’s feet and smile lines
• Forehead and frown lines
• Nasolabial folds
• Loss of firmness in the cheeks, jawline, and under eyes
• Crepiness on the neck and décolletage
• Ageing hands

Treatments may include:

• SkinPen Microneedling – encourages natural collagen remodelling and reduces surface lines and skin laxity
• PicoSure Pro Laser – tightens, smooths, and brightens skin with no downtime
• Clinical Peels (Aspect Dr & Dermaceutic) – exfoliate, brighten, and soften fine lines LED
• Healite II LED – promotes skin healing, reduces inflammation, and supports collagen regeneration (sometimes paired with superficial peels to boost results)

Multiple sessions are often required for optimal results, and personalised skincare is recommended to support and maintain treatment outcomes.

 

Skin rejuvenation focuses on restoring a healthy, radiant, and even-toned appearance by targeting early signs of ageing, environmental damage, or dullness — even in younger skin.

This category is perfect for:

• Patients seeking preventative care
• Maintenance between more intensive treatments
• Addressing uneven skin tone, texture, and clarity

Common concerns include:

• Tired or dull complexion
• Uneven skin tone
• Enlarged pores
• Mild redness or pigmentation
• Dehydrated or lacklustre skin

Treatments may include:

• PicoSure Pro Laser – revitalises and smooths without downtime
• Clear + Smooth DermaV– gently brightens, tones, and smooths skin in a lunch-break-style session
• LED Healite II – promotes skin recovery, glow, and energy at a cellular level
• Clinical Peels – for brightness and texture refinement
• Skincare support – tailored cosmeceutical and/or prescribed topicals to maintain a healthy glow and prevent damage

 Why Skin Rejuvenation Matters:

Skin that is regularly stimulated and supported with professional treatments responds better to age-related changes and external stressors. Starting early can:

• Delay visible ageing
• Enhance skin tone and clarity
• Support your results from more corrective procedures

Vascular conditions can present as persistent facial redness, visible capillaries, flushing, or even vascular birthmarks. These concerns may be purely cosmetic or may be linked to underlying medical conditions such as rosacea, inflammation, or congenital vascular malformations.

Early treatment can improve both appearance and skin health, and in some cases, help reduce the progression of vascular-related skin conditions.

Common concerns treated:

• Rosacea and flushing
• Telangiectasia (broken capillaries)
• Spider veins
• Port-wine stains, hemangiomas
• Red scarring and inflammation
• Leg veins
• Post inflammatory erythema

Treatment:

• DermaV laser – gold-standard vascular laser therapy, suitable for both facial and body areas, with minimal downtime and excellent clearance rates. Vascular lasers target haemoglobin (the red pigment in blood vessels) using precise wavelengths that gently collapse the vessel without harming surrounding tissue. Over time, the body clears these vessels naturally, reducing redness and improving clarity. Multiple sessions may be needed.
• LED Healite II Light Therapy
  Medical-grade light therapy that supports inflammation control, barrier repair, and post-laser healing.
  Calms active flare-ups of rosacea or post-treatment erythema
  • Can be used as a stand-alone treatment or adjunct to laser for more fragile skin types

Laser hair removal is a safe and effective method for long-term hair reduction. It works by targeting the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicle with precise light energy, which is absorbed and converted into heat to disable the follicle and prevent future hair growth.

In addition to cosmetic benefits, laser hair removal can also improve certain skin conditions, such as:

• Folliculitis (inflamed hair follicles)
• Ingrown hairs
• Hidradenitis Suppurativa (in mild cases, as part of a medical plan)

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

• Long-term hair reduction with smoother skin
  • Reduction in follicular bumps and skin irritation
  • No more waxing, shaving, or plucking
  • Safe for all body areas — including underarms, bikini line, face, back, and legs
  • Can also assist with pigmentation or inflammation caused by repeated manual hair removal

Elite+ Laser

At Sinclair Dermatology, we use the Elite+ laser system — a medical-grade, dual-wavelength device that combines:

• 755nm Alexandrite: ideal for lighter skin types (Fitzpatrick I–III) and finer hairs
• 1064nm Nd:YAG: safe and effective for darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI) and deeper follicles

This allows us to safely and effectively treat all skin types, including patients with ethnic or sensitive skin.

Key features of the Elite+:

• Large spot sizes for faster treatment times
• Integrated cooling for patient comfort
• Proven long-term results with a course of treatments
• Customisable settings for different hair colours and thicknesses

 Hair grows in cycles, and laser is only effective during the active growth (anagen) phase — which is why multiple treatments are necessary for optimal reduction.

LED Healite II
A gentle, non-invasive light therapy that accelerates cellular repair, calms inflammation, and improves healing after cosmetic procedures. Also beneficial as a stand-alone treatment for:

• Acne
• Redness
• Skin recovery post-laser or microneedling
