Laser Treatments for Skin Conditions at Centre for Surgery, London
Laser skin conditions treatments in summary: A specialist range of medical laser treatments for vascular, pigmentation, inflammatory, and specialist skin conditions — performed by GMC-registered aesthetic practitioners using the Fotona SP laser platform at our CQC-regulated Baker Street clinic. Each condition has its own dedicated protocol matched to the underlying biology — there’s no single “laser treatment for everything”. Most treatments need a course of 3–6 sessions; some (venous lake, single thread veins) resolve in 1–2 sessions. From £150 per session. 0% APR finance available subject to status.
Skin conditions cover a wide clinical spectrum — from cosmetic concerns like age spots and broken capillaries through to chronic inflammatory disease like rosacea and acne. The right laser, at the right wavelength, with the right parameters, makes the between a treatment that works and one that doesn’t. We use Fotona’s Nd:YAG 1064nm wavelength for vascular and inflammatory conditions, Q-switched and gentle Nd:YAG protocols for pigmentation, dual-wavelength (Nd:YAG + Er:YAG) for acne, ClearSteps for fungal nail, and NightLase for snoring.
Diagnosis comes first. Several skin conditions can mimic each other — adult acne and rosacea, melasma and general hyperpigmentation, athlete’s foot and other nail conditions. We diagnosis clinically at consultation before any laser treatment. If diagnostic uncertainty exists, we’ll refer for dermatology assessment first.
Vascular conditions
Vascular conditions involve dilated or visible blood vessels in the skin — most commonly on the face. The Fotona long-pulse Nd:YAG 1064nm laser is selectively absorbed by haemoglobin, collapsing the vessel damaging surrounding skin.
Pigmentation conditions
Pigmentation conditions involve excess melanin production — either as discrete patches (age spots, freckles) or diffuse mottled discolouration (sun damage, melasma). Different types respond to laser approaches; melasma in needs a specialist gentler protocol.
Inflammatory skin conditions
skin conditions involve immune activity in the skin — rosacea, acne, and acne with scarring. Laser treatment addresses the vascular component (rosacea), the bacterial and sebaceous gland component (acne), and the surface scar texture (post-acne scarring).
Specialist conditions
Two specialist applications of Fotona laser technology that don’t fit the vascular, pigmentation, or inflammatory categories — but are part of our laser skin conditions menu.
Why Centre for Surgery for laser skin conditions treatment?
How laser skin conditions treatment works
All our laser skin treatments work on the principle of selective photothermolysis — using laser wavelengths that are selectively absorbed by a specific target in the skin (haemoglobin in vessels, melanin in pigmentation, water in resurfacing applications) without significant absorption by surrounding tissue. The absorbed energy generates heat that achieves the goal — collapsing a vessel, fragmenting pigment, contracting collagen — while protecting skin.
The right wavelength for the right target makes the difference. The Nd:YAG 1064nm wavelength penetrates deeply and is selectively absorbed by haemoglobin and pigmented — it’s our workhorse for vascular conditions, melasma, fungal nail, and the deep component of acne treatment. The Er:YAG 2940nm wavelength is selectively absorbed by water — making it ideal for controlled, gentle resurfacing in TwinLight acne treatment and NightLase tightening. Q-switched short-pulse Nd:YAG variations provide the photoacoustic fragmentation needed for pigmentation clearance.

Laser facial thread vein using Fotona’s long-pulse Nd:YAG 1064nm laser. Targets and clears visible spider veins (telangiectasia) and spider naevi on the cheeks, nose, chin, and mouth area. Most simple cases resolve in 1 session; more complex cases need 2–3. for all skin types from £150 per session.
Specialist laser treatment for prominent veins around the eyes using Fotona’s long-pulse Nd:YAG 1064nm laser with corneal eye shield protocol. Treats blue, green, and purple veins on temples, brow region, eyelid, and adjacent areas. Most cases respond to 1–2 sessions. Premium pricing reflects the technical complexity, eye-shield protocol, and specialist clinical experience required. From £300 per single eye area, £600 for both eye regions.
laser treatment for visible blue or purple veins below the lower lashline using Fotona’s long-pulse Nd:YAG 1064nm laser with corneal eye shield protocol. Most cases to 1–2 sessions. Helps differentiate vein-driven dark circles from pigmentation, hollowing, or eye-bag causes. Premium pricing reflects the technical complexity, eye shield protocol, and specialist clinical experience required. From £300 per single eye area, £600 for both eyes.
Laser thread vein removal for the nose using Fotona’s long-pulse Nd:YAG 1064nm laser. Targets and clears visible spider veins (telangiectasia) on the nostrils, sides of the nose, and bridge. Most simple cases resolve in 1 session; more complex or rosacea-related cases need 2–3. Suitable for all skin types from £150 per session.
Laser venous lake removal at Centre for Surgery using Fotona’s long-pulse Nd:YAG 1064nm laser. Targets and clears raised blue-purple papules on the lips (most common), ears, and face. Most cases resolve in a single session. Performed under anaesthesia with ice pre-cooling. From £150 per single venous lake.
Cherry angioma removal at Centre for Surgery is provided by GMC-registered specialists working from our CQC-regulated Baker Street clinic. Cherry angiomas (also called de Morgan spots) are very common benign red vascular skin lesions that develop with age, made up of clusters of dilated close to the skin surface. We treat them with long-pulse Nd:YAG laser, which targets haemoglobin in the dilated vessels and seals them off without damaging surrounding skin. Most cherry angiomas are removed in a single quick outpatient session under topical anaesthetic. Every consultation includes clinical assessment to confirm the diagnosis, distinguish cherry angiomas from spider angiomas, pyogenic and rarely amelanotic melanoma, and exclude the small number of atypical vascular lesions warranting biopsy.
Laser pigmentation using Fotona’s Q-switched and Nd:YAG laser platform to treat age spots (lentigines), sun damage, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and freckles. The laser energy is selectively absorbed by melanin in pigmented lesions, breaking it into smaller particles that the body’s lymphatic system then clears. Most patients need 3–6 sessions for full clearance. From £150 per single lesion or small area.
Specialist treatment for melasma combining gentle non-ablative laser, topical tranexamic acid, and a skin-lightening regimen (Obagi Nu-Derm, retinoids, kojic acid). Melasma is hormonally-driven facial pigmentation requiring a different to general hyperpigmentation. Usually needs 4–8 sessions plus ongoing maintenance. Ablative lasers are avoided due to PIH risk. From £500 per session.
Laser acne treatment using Fotona’s TwinLight protocol — combining Nd:YAG laser to target overactive sebaceous glands with Er:YAG laser to resurface the skin. Treats active acne (mild to severe including cystic) and acne scars in the same session. Most patients need 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. From £150 per single area, £350 for half face, £500 for full face.
Rosacea laser treatment using Fotona’s long-pulse Nd:YAG 1064nm laser. The wavelength is selectively by haemoglobin in dilated facial capillaries, collapsing the vessels and reducing background facial redness, flushing episodes, and visible thread veins. Also helps inflammatory papulopustular rosacea. Most patients need 3–5 plus annual maintenance. From £500 per full-face session, £350 half-face.
Non-invasive laser treatment for fungal nail infection (onychomycosis) using Fotona’s Nd:YAG 1064nm ClearSteps protocol. The laser heats the nail bed to a temperature lethal to fungi without damaging the nail or surrounding tissue. Most patients need 4 sessions spaced 1 week apart, with new healthy nail growing over 9–12 months. From £150 per nail, £450 for all toenails.
Non-ablative laser treatment for snoring using Fotona’s NightLase with the Er:YAG 2940nm laser. The laser delivers controlled heat to the soft palate and uvula, stimulating collagen contraction and tightening to reduce airway vibration and collapse. Most patients need 3 sessions spaced 3 weeks apart, with effects typically lasting 12 months. Suitable for caused by soft palate vibration. From £450 per .
