Laser Treatments
Advanced laser technology for skin rejuvenation, lesion removal, and pigmentation treatment. The only ablative laser in Gladstone.
The Only Ablative Laser in Gladstone
Dermotique Cosmedics is the only clinic in Gladstone equipped with an ablative CO2 laser for lesion removal. Our practitioner is the destination for GP referrals requiring professional laser removal of moles, keratoses, and other skin lesions.
Ablative Laser Lesion Removal (CO2 Laser)
Our CO2 laser is a precise surgical tool that uses concentrated energy to vaporise tissue, removing lesions while simultaneously cauterising blood vessels. It is the gold standard for removing skin lesions including moles, keratoses, and other non-cancerous growths — see the dedicated sections below for the specific lesion types we treat.
- The only ablative laser available in Gladstone
- GP referral destination for lesion removal
- Precise tissue removal with minimal scarring
- May be completed in a single session depending on the lesion
- Local anaesthetic applied for comfort
A doctor consultation is required prior to treatment. All lesions must be cleared as benign by your GP or Skin Doctor before treatment.
Seborrheic Keratoses
Seborrheic keratoses are common, non-cancerous skin growths that often appear with age, presenting as waxy, raised, or 'stuck-on' brown or skin-coloured patches. They are harmless but can be cosmetically bothersome. Our CO2 ablative laser provides precise removal with excellent cosmetic outcomes.
- Treated with our CO2 ablative laser
- Highly precise — preserves surrounding healthy skin
- Minimal discomfort, often a quick procedure
- Reduced risk of scarring compared to traditional removal methods
- Mild redness or scabbing typically heals within 1–2 weeks
Lesions must be cleared as benign by your GP or Skin Doctor before treatment.
Benign Keratoses
Benign keratoses are thickened or rough patches of skin caused by sun exposure or general skin changes over time. Our CO2 ablative laser uses focused light energy to precisely target and remove these lesions while preserving the surrounding skin.
- Treated with our CO2 ablative laser
- Targets thickened, rough, or sun-damaged patches
- Highly precise tissue removal
- Quick procedure with little to no downtime for most clients
- Mild redness or scabbing typically heals within 1–2 weeks
Lesions must be cleared as benign by your GP or Skin Doctor before treatment.
Benign Intradermal Nevi
Benign intradermal nevi are common, non-cancerous moles that sit within the deeper layers of the skin, often raised and skin-coloured or pale brown. While harmless, they can be a cosmetic concern depending on their size and location. Our CO2 ablative laser allows for precise removal with excellent cosmetic outcomes.
- Treated with our CO2 ablative laser
- Precise removal of raised, benign moles
- Reduced risk of scarring compared to traditional excision
- Quick procedure performed under local anaesthetic
- Mild redness or scabbing typically heals within 1–2 weeks
All moles must be cleared as benign by your GP or Skin Doctor before treatment.
Skin Tags
Skin tags are small, soft, non-cancerous growths that commonly appear on the neck, underarms, eyelids, and body folds. While benign, they can catch on clothing or jewellery and be a cosmetic concern. Our laser treatments provide quick, precise removal — typically in a single session.
- Treated with our CO2 ablative or Dual Yellow laser, depending on assessment
- Quick, precise removal — often a few minutes per lesion
- Minimal discomfort with little to no downtime
- Reduced risk of scarring compared to traditional removal methods
- Mild redness typically resolves within 1–2 weeks
Lesions must be cleared as benign by your GP or Skin Doctor before treatment.
Pigmentation & Skin Rejuvenation (RevLite Laser)
The RevLite is our primary laser for treating pigmentation. Using PhotoAcoustic Technology Pulse (PTP) energy, it delivers precise non-ablative treatments that effectively target sun spots, age spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — with minimal downtime. It also addresses fine lines, wrinkles, and overall skin tone for full-face rejuvenation.
- Primary pigmentation laser — superior results for sun spots, age spots, and melasma
- Full-face treatment with minimal downtime
- Effective for sun damage, uneven skin tone, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Typically 4–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart
Fractional Resurfacing (Pixel Laser)
Fractional resurfacing creates thousands of microscopic perforations in the skin while leaving surrounding tissue untouched. This encourages your body's natural healing response, stimulating collagen production for smoother, more even skin.
- Effective for acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone
- Shorter recovery compared to traditional resurfacing
- Promotes natural collagen production
- Typically 3–6 sessions spaced 6 weeks apart
- Recovery period of 1–2 weeks
Not recommended for darker skin types (Fitzpatrick IV–VI) due to hyperpigmentation risk.
Rosacea, Vascular & Pigmentation Treatment (Dual Yellow Laser)
Our Dual Yellow Copper Bromide Laser emits precise yellow and green wavelengths to target visible capillaries, rosacea, redness, superficial scarring, acne, and fine lines. It is also used for pigmentation alongside our RevLite laser, particularly for vascular-related discolouration.
- Primary treatment for rosacea and visible capillaries
- Targets redness and vascular conditions
- Addresses superficial scarring and acne
- Minimum 3–6 treatments recommended
