Ablative / Micro Core Laser isn’t “too aggressive”

1. Ablative/ Micro Core Laser is precise and controllable when correctly selected and delivered.
It remains a well-established option for addressing skin texture concerns, scarring, and collagen remodelling when used appropriately and conservatively.

2. Downtime is part of biology, not a complication.

Yes, recovery is expected.
No, it is not tissue damage when performed correctly.
Skin is a living organ with a natural healing response. Recovery time varies depending on treatment depth and individual factors.

3. One session doesn’t undo years of skin change

Ablative/ Micro Core laser can support meaningful skin improvement, but it works within biological limits.
Results develop progressively as collagen remodels over time.
Consistency and appropriate treatment planning matter more than intensity.
If you want collagen, texture improvement, scar repair, and long-term resilience - nothing in aesthetics outperforms a properly performed laser treatment.

4. Adverse outcomes are usually technique or selection related

Scary photos you see online? 99% are incorrect settings or wrong patients.
When treatment parameters, skin type, and wound healing principles are respected, complications are uncommon.
Burns, lines of demarcation, and pigment issues come from misuse - not the laser itself
Issues such as prolonged redness or pigment change are more often linked to inappropriate settings or patient selection, not the technology itself.

5. Ablative/ Micro Core Laser doesn’t replace surgery — it serves a different purpose

Surgical procedures address tissue position.
Ablative/ Micro Core laser addresses skin quality, structure, and thickness.
For many patients, it may help optimise skin health and delay the need for more invasive interventions — depending on individual goals and anatomy.

Individual outcomes vary. Treatment suitability and expected recovery are assessed during consultation.

2025 has been a year that asked a lot of us — and gave a lot back in return.

It was a year of change, resilience and adaptation. A year where we refined how we work, how we care, and how we continue to grow — not just as a clinic, but as a team and a brand. Change wasn’t always comfortable, but it was necessary. It challenged us to reassess, realign and evolve with intention.

Behind Hunter Cosmetic & Laser is a team whose commitment goes far beyond the treatment room. Every member of our team has shown unwavering dedication — to the clinic, to each other, and most importantly, to our clients. Their professionalism, empathy and integrity are the foundation of everything we do. In a year that required flexibility and strength, they showed up consistently, with heart and purpose.

Our clients remain at the centre of every decision. 2025 reinforced why trust matters, why education matters, and why personalised, ethical care will always come first. Through change, our values stayed constant — delivering results with safety, honesty and genuine connection.

As we close the chapter on 2025, we do so with gratitude. Gratitude for a team that believes in the vision, for clients who place their trust in us, and for the lessons that shaped us along the way. This year didn’t just test us — it strengthened us.

Here’s to resilience, growth, and stepping into the future with clarity and confidence.

The Importance of Consultation and Assessment in Medical Aesthetic Treatments.

At Hunter Cosmetic & Laser, every treatment begins with a thorough consultation and clinical assessment. This step is essential to ensure that any aesthetic procedure is appropriate, safe, and tailored to the individual needs of each client.

A comprehensive consultation allows us to:

1. Understand Your Concerns and Goals

Everyone’s skin, anatomy, and aesthetic priorities are unique. A proper consultation provides the opportunity to discuss your concerns, explore what you’re hoping to achieve, and ensure expectations are realistic and aligned with what a treatment may support.

2. Assess Your Suitability for Treatment

Not all treatments are suitable for every person. A clinical assessment allows us to review relevant medical history, skin type, lifestyle factors, and any contraindications. This helps us determine whether a treatment is appropriate or if an alternative option may be more suitable.

3. Personalise a Treatment Plan

Your assessment forms the foundation of a customised treatment plan designed to support your desired outcomes while prioritising safety. This may include staged treatments, combination approaches, or advice on where supportive skincare may be beneficial.

4. Discuss Benefits, Considerations, and Risks

An important part of medical aesthetics is informed decision-making. During the consultation, we discuss potential benefits, expected responses, possible downtime, and known risks associated with treatment. This ensures you have all the information required to make a confident and informed choice.

5. Support Safe and Ethical Practice

Comprehensive consultation and assessment uphold the standards of safe medical practice and align with professional and regulatory guidelines. They help ensure treatments are not only effective but delivered responsibly and with respect for individual wellbeing.

It is possible to erase skin imperfections caused by ageing and sun damage in a safe, gentle manner.

BroadBand Light (called BBL) is the world’s most powerful IPL device for delivering pulsed light energy to restore skin. It is suitable for pigmentation, small facial veins and rosacea. The result is healthy, glowing skin you won’t feel you need to cover with make-up.

Studies have found that clients who received a yearly BBL treatment over a 10-year period had better skin quality and looked about 10 years younger than their actual age.

For effective results, a treatment plan is tailored to you during an initial consultation about your skin type and desired results.
