No, you will not smell like salmon. Now that that's out of the way, here's what salmon DNA actually does.
It's derived from wild or farmed salmon, and sometimes trout. What researchers found is that it has a repairing quality, and the molecule is very small.
Placed into the skin, it essentially tells your body to start repairing itself, producing more collagen, functioning a little better, and calming inflammation down.
That makes it useful for inflamed skin conditions like angry breakouts and rosacea. It's also strong for collagen, so sun damage, fine lines, smoker's lines and general signs of ageing, it can help slow them down or soften them.
Two questions I get constantly:
Allergic to fish? Your chance of reacting to that specific fraction is very, very low.
Suitable for vegans or vegetarians? It's still an animal derivative, so that's a personal call. Vegetarians, I'd say usually yes. Vegans, probably not.

Six to twelve sessions. That's the honest answer for laser hair removal, and it depends on you.
Thicker hair needs more. A man with a very hairy back, I'd say six minimum.
Hair colour and skin tone both matter. Laser is attracted to darker hair and darker pigment, so where you sit on the Fitzpatrick scale changes the plan, and it's also why the risk of burns is higher for deeper skin tones if the settings aren't right.
That's not a reason to avoid laser. It's a reason to make sure whoever's holding the handpiece knows how to adjust for your skin.
We'll go through all of it at your patch test.

Laser can clear broken capillaries, but only the red ones. Here's where the line is.
Anything red, we can help with. As soon as it turns purple or blue, it's out of our range with laser.
That includes legs, not just the face, we treat capillaries there too. A lot of people confuse the two and assume it's all the same thing.
If you're not sure which you've got, send us a photo or book in and we'll tell you honestly whether laser is the right call.

How does the laser know the difference between your hair and your capillaries? It does, and here's how.
Laser hair removal targets the hair follicle. It gets in and treats the root of the hair.
Laser skin treatments target your skin concern instead, broken capillaries, for example. Same machine, different job.
There are around 20,000 different settings on that machine. That's what does the deciding, and it's why the person operating it matters more than the device itself.

Acne, pigmentation and broken capillaries, all treated with the same underlying technology as laser hair removal.
When people hear "laser" they think hair removal, and stop there. But the diode laser we use here treats far more than that.
The difference isn't the machine. It's the settings and the technique.
Which is why it's worth asking your practitioner what else laser could be doing for you. Most people have never been told it's an option.

The biggest myth about laser is that it's only for hair removal.
It can be hair removal. It can also boost collagen, clear breakouts and acne scarring, and treat those little red capillaries that seemingly every Irish person has. I have them myself.
It's a proper skin rejuvenation tool, not a one-trick device.
Two things people always ask:
"Is it that laser I've seen online where the skin looks burnt in little squares?" No. That's a completely different treatment and it's not what our machine does. Ours is very minimally invasive with little general downtime.
"Does it hurt?" We've had enough clients tell us it genuinely doesn't. There's a very strong cooling system on it, and we take every precaution to make it as comfortable as we can for you.
If laser has been sitting on your maybe list, that's worth a conversation.

There's one area of the face I'll almost always say no to treating directly. It's the forehead.
The forehead is tightly packed with major blood vessels, and the skin there is often thin and tight. In a lot of cases it's simply too high a risk, and it would be uncomfortable for you. So I don't.
That doesn't mean the forehead can't be treated. We can microneedle the same products into the skin instead, you still get the collagen stimulation, you still get the textural change, and you're still driving in a product that can genuinely transform the skin.
For reference, our usual treatment zone for skin boosters and polynucleotides runs from the chest up to the eyes.
Knowing where not to treat is as much a part of this job as knowing how.
