SmartXide Punto | CoolPeel

The SmartXide Punto is an advanced, high-peak-power fractional CO₂ laser system widely used for skin resurfacing, texture improvement, and dermatological surgery.

What is CoolPeel®?

Exclusive Technology:
CoolPeel is a signature setting on the SmartXide Punto that delivers a fully-ablative skin resurfacing treatment without generating unwanted thermal damage to surrounding tissue.

How It Works:
It uses ultra-short pulses (the H-Pulse) to target the superficial layers of the skin, vaporising tissue safely while keeping the skin “cool”.

Downtime:
Traditional CO₂ lasers require weeks of recovery, but CoolPeel limits recovery to just 24 to 48 hours of mild, sunburn-like redness.

Key Benefits & Indications

  • Skin Rejuvenation:
    Smooths fine lines, deep wrinkles, and crepey or sagging skin.
  • Texture & Pores:
    Minimises pore size and improves uneven skin tone.
  • Pigmentation & Scars:
    Reduces sun damage, age spots, dark spots, and acne scarring.
  • Specialised Uses:
    Supports non-surgical eye rejuvenation (such as a periocular lift or “Madonna Eyelift”) and minor surgical skin lesion removals.

Treatment Protocol

  • Session Length:
    A full-face treatment typically takes 5 to 20 minutes.
  • Recommended Course:
    At Renew we generally recommend a series of 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart for optimal CoolPeel results.
  • Safety:
    It is engineered with Pulse Shape Design (PSD) technology to allow safe customisation across a wide range of skin types.

LASER GENESIS | Cutera

TREATS: Rosacea, uneven texture, skin laxity, pigmentation and acne scarring

Laser Genesis is a non-invasive laser treatment designed to boost collagen and elastin production to visibly improve fine lines, acne scars, large pores, and uneven skin tone. Laser genesis can also help break up superficial pigmentation seen with Melasma.

Well suited for all skin types, laser genesis creates an instant lift and gorgeous glow before an event.

Aesthetic outcome can be combined with a number of other treatments to amplify results on the face, neck, décolletage and hands.

What to expect..?
Quick and relaxed, with minimal downtime, Laser Genesis is safe for ALL skin types. Perfect for an instant lift just before a big event, results from a single treatment will show for around 10 days. A course of around 6 treatments, 2 weeks apart is advised for longer lasting results.
What are the benefits..?
Reduces redness, promotes a gorgeous glow, smooths out fine lines, stimulates new collagen, boosts skin tightening and diminishes the appearance of pores.
Pain Level: None to mild
Social Downtime: None

ND:YAG LASER | Cutera

TREATS: Wrinkles, broken veins & capillaries, age spots, sun damage, cherry red spots and capillary haemangiomas

Nd:YAG is a non-invasive, non-ablative laser treatment used to penetrate deep into the skin to selectively target and shrink deep-lying blood vessels, leg veins and hair follicles for visible results.

Intense sun exposure should be avoided one month prior and following treatment.

What to expect..?
Each treatment usually lasts for 20 minutes, during which a mild discomfort may be experienced. Post-laser, skin may feel slightly sensitive for a few days and redness may occur over the treated site which should only last for a few hours. For reticular vessels, results can be seen within 24 hours. For pigmentation, lightening is best seen within 1-2 weeks. Skin will appear significantly rejuvenated. One to four treatments may be sufficient to achieve best results with a treatment program every 4-6 weeks.
What are the benefits..?
This surgery-free option is a great option for the treatment of facial and leg veins, tattoo removal and reducing the appearance of pigmented lesions. Many opt for laser treatment because it offers immediately noticeable results with minimal downtime and minimal discomfort.
Pain Level: Mild
Social Downtime: None
Results: Are seen in 24 – 48 hours
Recommended Course: 1 – 4 treatments, 4 – 6 weeks apart

IPL Limelight | Cutera

TREATS: Rosacea, photodamage, age spots, broken veins & capillaries, sun damage

Intense Pulsed Light is a customisable light treatment using different wavelengths of light to reduce the appearance of thread veins, redness, brown spots and dilated pores.

Commonly used on the face, neck, décolletage and hands, IPL Photo rejuvenation boosts collagen production to improve skin tone and elasticity.

Aesthetic outcomes can be enhanced when combined with other treatments.

Intense sun exposure should be avoided one month prior and following treatment.

What to expect..?
A cooling gel is first applied to the area that will be treated and then the light is gently applied. Each session takes around 30 minutes and the treatment causes little discomfort (some patients compare the sensation to that of a rubber band snapping against skin) and while you may experience some redness for a few hours afterwards with minimal if any prolonged downtime. Four to six treatments at 3 week intervals is recommended with 1-2 maintenance sessions a year.
What are the benefits..?
Skin will appear fresher, rejuvenated after just a few treatments and the benefits of a full course (approximately six sessions) can last up to a year. IPL can dramatically increase collagen production, tone and improve the elasticity of the skin, and can also be used in combination with micro dermabrasion, peels and dermal fillers.
Pain Level: Mild- moderate (topical anaesthetic may be applied)
Social Downtime: Up to 24 hours
Results: Are seen within 1 weeks with results lasting 12-24 months
Recommended Course: 3 – 5 treatments, 4 weeks apart with top ups biannually

ClearLift | Alma Harmony Pro

TREATS: Wrinkles, improves skin elasticity, hyperpigmentation, age spots, sunspots, melasma, crepey skin, jowling

Clearlift – also known as Pixel Q-Switch – is a painless, non-ablative (meaning it doesn’t harm the surface of the skin) approach to laser treatments.

Clearlift penetrates beneath the skins epidermal surface to create a controlled dermal wound.

As the lower layer of skin repairs itself, the complexion becomes more rejuvenated, plumped and tighter, giving a more lifted appearance.

ClearLift can be used as a combined treatment to tighten skin and pores, reduce pigmentation and soften fine lines and wrinkles.

What to expect..?
During the 40 minute treatment, times may vary depending on the area being treated – the laser may feel warm on the skin but not uncomfortable.
Skin may be slightly flushed post-treatment and this will fade within a couple of hours. For best results, six treatments, two weeks apart is recommended for skin to become smoother, tighter with a more even tone and to see a noticeable reduction in pigmentation.
What are the benefits..?
As Clearlift is painless and without the need for recovery time, it is gentle enough to be used on areas that are typically too sensitive to treat with traditional ablative lasers such as the delicate skin around the lips, eyes, neck, chest and hands.
Pain Level: None to mild
Social Downtime: None
Results: Are seen within 1 – 2 weeks and lasts 6 weeks
Recommended Course: 6 treatments, 2 weeks apart
