Treatments
cool laser
Laser facial resurfacing has arrived in our Edinburgh Clinic. Treat scarring, tighten skin and reduce lines with our ablative and non ablative treatments. Ideal for concerns such as smokers lines, droopy eyelids and pigmentation.
What is cool laser?
Unlike traditional CO₂ lasers, which rely on heat, this technology allows us to perform “cold ablation” removing damaged skin layers while preserving surrounding tissue. This results in faster healing, less downtime, and more controlled outcomes. Working to tighten skin this laser creates ‘micro injuries’ to trigger the body’s healing response replacing the old damaged skin with fresh, healthy skin.

Why Cool Laser for smokers lines?
The Erbium YAG laser precisely removes damaged surface skin and stimulates the production of new collagen, helping to smooth and soften lines around the mouth. Compared with some deeper resurfacing treatments, Cool Laser offers excellent skin renewal with less heat damage to surrounding tissue, which can mean a more comfortable recovery and reduced downtime.
Can Cool Laser be used as a non-surgical upper eyelid treatment?
Yes. Cool Laser (Erbium YAG) can be used to tighten and rejuvenate the upper eyelid area without surgery. The treatment works by precisely resurfacing the skin and stimulating collagen production, helping to improve skin laxity, crepey texture, and mild hooding of the upper eyelids.
Many patients choose Cool Laser as a non-surgical alternative when they want a fresher, more youthful eye appearance without the downtime and recovery associated with eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty).
Can results be guaranteed?
No. Results vary between patients and depend on anatomy, skin quality, healing response, treatment area and aftercare. Your consultation will include a realistic discussion of what may be achievable.
I am unsure, can I still book a consultation?
A medical consultation is the safest way to understand whether Cool Laser is appropriate for you and how it compares with other treatment options, during your consultation with our Doctors you can discuss all concerns and treatment pathways.

What are the results?
Patients notice gradual improvements in skin rejuvenation, including reduced fine lines, smoother texture, smaller pores, and a more even complexion. Depending on the type of cool laser therapy used, the treatment may also help reduce acne scars, pigmentation, redness, and mild skin laxity. Results typically develop over several weeks as collagen production increases naturally within the skin. Many people experience healthier-looking, firmer, and more radiant skin after completing the recommended number of sessions, with long-lasting benefits when combined with a proper skincare routine
How long before I see results?
Allow for some potential swelling but a natural look will be achieved usually within a couple of days.
Is treatment suitable for all skin?
Cool laser treatment is suitable for a wide range of skin types and skin tones thanks to advanced laser technology designed to deliver safe and effective results with minimal risk. However, every person’s skin is different, which is why a consultation with our team is your first appointent prior to treatment.
