Laser Skin Rejuvenation Comprehensive Treatment
Aging is inevitable. Modern cosmetic procedures,allow you to maintain youthful, glowing skin well into your later years. At Clinique-K, we offer a comprehensive Laser Skin Rejuvenation Program that targets common aging concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, and uneven skin tone.
A Multi-Faceted Approach to Aging
Aging is a complex process that affects the skin in many ways. Fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and pigmentation changes all develop over time due to a reduction in collagen and elastin, exposure to the elements, and the natural aging process. At Clinique-K, we understand that no single treatment can address all these concerns. That’s why our Laser Skin Rejuvenation Program combines multiple advanced ablative and non-ablative laser technologies to address every layer of your skin, from the surface to the deeper layers.
Understanding How Your Skin Ages
As we age, the skin goes through several changes:
- Collagen and Elastin Loss: These proteins are responsible for keeping skin firm and smooth. Over time, their production slows, leading to wrinkles and sagging.
- Thinning Skin: The skin becomes thinner, causing a loss of volume and leading to a tired or hollow appearance.
- Pigmentation Issues: Sun exposure and aging lead to the appearance of brown spots, uneven skin tone, and areas of discoloration.
- Dull Skin Texture: The surface of the skin can become rough and uneven, which contributes to a lack of radiance.
These changes occur at various layers of the skin and can be effectively treated with our Laser Skin Rejuvenation Program.

Skin Rejuvenation Program offered at Clinique-K Westmount
Involves a combination of 3 procedures
Sciton BBL™ (BroadBand Light Therapy) Non-Ablative Laser Treatment
The Sciton BBL™ is a non-invasive, versatile light therapy that addresses a range of skin concerns:
- Hyperpigmentation: Targets the melanin responsible for brown spots and discoloration.
- Vascular Issues: Works on broken capillaries and redness caused by conditions like rosacea.
- Collagen Production: Stimulates collagen and elastin production to improve skin texture and tone.
The result? A smoother, more even complexion with reduced redness, discoloration and improved skin firmness.
Microlaser Peel: Gentle Laser Resurfacing
Following the BBL™ treatment, the Microlaser Peel resurfaces the skin by gently removing the outermost layer, called the stratum corneum. This layer is where damage from the environment and aging accumulate.
- Skin Renewal: By removing dead skin cells, this peel reveals fresh, healthy skin beneath.
- Targeted Improvement: Ideal for treating fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, the peel improves overall texture and primes your skin for deeper rejuvenation.
Sciton Profractional Laser: Ablative Fractionated Skin Resurfacing
The third step in this Rejuventaion Profractional Laser, is a powerful fractional laser that creates micro-channels in the skin to stimulate collagen production at a deeper level.
- Fractional Treatment: The laser creates tiny columns of damage in the skin, leaving surrounding tissue intact to speed up recovery.
- Deep Rejuvenation: By penetrating the deeper layers of skin, this treatment is perfect for addressing more advanced aging concerns like deep wrinkles, scars, and uneven texture.
- One treatment every 6 months or yearly is recommended to keep the skin rejuvenated, glowing and healthy.

Frax Nordlys® 1550-1940
- Precision Treatment: The Frax Nordlys® targets the deeper layers of the skin while leaving the surface intact, ensuring minimal damage, possible risks and faster recovery times.
- Non-Invasive: Since the outer layer of the skin remains unaffected, there is no peeling or scabbing, and downtime is minimal.
- Long-Lasting Results: Even after just one or two cosmetic laser treatments, patients experience smoother, healthier skin with long-lasting effects.
While this treatment is not a substitute for surgical procedures like facelifts, it’s highly effective for individuals seeking a non-invasive solution to aging.
