As always, The Beauty Emporium is keen to embrace the latest innovations in skincare to make sure we offer our Clients the very best service possible.

After much research we’ve found the perfect compliment to our range of beauty therapies in the form of Justin Davies, our expert Laser Nurse. Justin is a Registered Nurse and is the very best in his field as a Laser Therapist and Cutera Clinical Trainer.
He has spent more than 10 years working as a Clinical Nurse Specialist in plastic surgery and went on to specialise in the Cutera Laser systems, where, for 13 years, he trained Melbourne’s leading plastic surgeons and dermatologists.

Justin teaches students training for a Dermal Therapies Degree at Victoria University and attends conferences globally to bring you the latest and most advanced laser techniques from the leaders in the industry.

So what is laser?

Laser is an intense focused light. It has many applications, including skin rejuvenation and hair removal.

At The Beauty Emporium, Justin uses a state of the art Cutera machine (laser and intense-pulsed-light) to treat fine lines and wrinkles, soothe a red complexion and reduce the appearance of scars and pigmented skin.

This works by gently heating up the upper dermis of the skin to stimulate your own natural collagen production. Over a course of treatments you can expects to see less redness, fading of acne scars and pigmentation and a gradual plumping of lines and wrinkles.

What can I expect during the treatment?

For skin conditions, we ask that you remove any make up or moisturisers prior to treatment. During the treatment, which may only last a few minutes, you may experience a pinching sensation when a pulse of light is delivered and your skin will gradually warm up. Any discomfort is usually mild and temporary.

How many treatments will I need?

Depending on your skin condition, we usually find that people see results within a few treatments. Pigmented skin may only require one or two sessions while improvement of wrinkles and scars may take approximately four to six treatments.

During your initial consultation Justin will be able to advise you on the likely number of treatments required for the best outcome.

Justin also uses laser for hair removal. So if you’ve had enough of shaving, tweezing and waxing then have a chat with Justin to see if laser is right for you.
