What is Regelite Laser Treatment?
Regenlite allows us to specifically target your concerns by changing the wavelength of the laser energy to suit your needs. This means that in a certain mode the Regenlite can be used to stimulate your collagen production to help with concerns such as loose skin, wrinkles and some scars. In a different mode, the Regelite will target vascular concerns such as warts, verrucae, some scarring, background redness, broken veins and blood spots.
Regenlite for acne
Clinically proven to be an effective acne treatment, the Pulsed Dye technology that the Regenlite medical laser (sometimes called the N-lite laser) uses was even dubbed “the biggest breakthrough in Acne in the last 30 years*”. In fact, the Lancet published a clinical study showing that 87% of patients achieved a significant improvement in their acne.
Regenlite acne treatments deliver a specific wavelength that triggers an immune response in your skin to reduce inflammation caused by your acne kill the acne bacteria contributing to your acne lesions. The Regenlite laser also stimulates your collagen production, therefore rejuvenating your skin, improving the overall texture and helping to smooth your skin; in fact, the laser treatment was originally used to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles but it was soon discovered that this treatment was improving patients acne breakouts.
The effectiveness of the Regenlite laser treatment has been assessed using ultrasound imaging, bio-chemical analysis, electron microscopy histology and clinical studies, such as those published in the Lancet (Volume 362) which reported that: “Over 92% of patients reviewed after a single treatment had significant improvement. Over 50% of patients had a 50% reduction in lesions after a single treatment”.
The acne-related concerns this laser can treat are:
- Whiteheads
- Blackheads
- Pustules
- Papules
- Background redness caused by acne
- Red marks (scars) caused by acne

Regenlite for redness and vascular lesions
In order to effectively treat vascular lesions and redness, your practitioner will set the Regenlite laser light to target haemoglobin; the light energy is safely absorbed by the blood and causes the targeted blood vessels you wish to treat to shut down. Some patients may find that they need more than one treatment to achieve the desired results due to the continuous pumping of the circulatory system the treated blood vessels are a part of.
It is worth noting that, as with any light or heat-based vascular treatment, blood vessels can refill and become visible again in the future and new vessels still have the ability to become evident; therefore, some patients may need occasional maintenance treatments to keep on top of symptoms.
The vascular lesions and concerns this laser can treat are:
- Rosacea
- Poikiloderma of Civatte
- Port-wine stain
- Cherry angioma
- Haemangioma
- Spider angioma
- Telangiectasia
- Venous lakes
- Verruca
- Warts
The Regenlite treatment is tailored to your needs, taking into account the type of concern or lesion, the size of the treatment area, the location of concern and the skin tone being treated.
Regenlite for loose skin, signs of ageing and stretch marks
The Regenlite is a non-ablative laser treatment option, meaning it does not damage the surface of your skin in order to produce results.
This treatment works by ‘tricking’ your body into producing new collagen within your skin tissue. This is a response to a perceived injury mimicked by the laser however, an injury is never actually sustained. Studies have shown a 99.5% increase in the collagen production rate following the first treatment, with results that average a 55% reduction in wrinkle depth.
The concerns this laser can treat are:
- Loose skin on the face and body
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Crepey skin
- Stretch marks
- Some scars
How frequently can I have repeat treatments of Regenlite?
This depends on your concern and personal recovery from your last treatment. We do not re-treat without a minimum ten-day interval between your rejuvenation treatments however treatment can be spaced out much more than this. This will be discussed with you.
I have a vascular concern but I don’t want to be treated in ‘bruising mode’. Am I still able to have the Regenlite treatment?
Yes, vascular concerns can be treated in both ‘non-bruising mode’ and ‘bruising-mode’. In our experience, some types of vascular concerns may respond better to bruising mode than to non-bruising mode. We will further discuss this with you during your consultation.
Are there any side effects to Regenlite?
The Pulsed Dye Laser has a good safety profile, however consultations are an important part of the treatment process in allowing you to understand the treatment and to establish if the benefits of the treatment are outweighed by any possible side effects. During a consultation your concerns will be assessed. Your medical practitioner will be able to discuss whether this treatment is appropriate for you, as well as any suitable alternative treatments.
Your practitioner will discuss any possible side effects, questions you may have and any aftercare you should adhere to prior to you having treatment.
I’m looking for dramatic correction for my signs of ageing, is Regenlite right for me?
We will be able to give you specific advice during your consultation, however our patients do achieve noticeable correction and improvement in their skin with the Regenlite.
Regenlite can be used in combination with other treatments Thermage CPT, Wrinkle Relaxing Injections, Dermal Fillers and the Thread Lift treatment.
Am I too young to have Regenlite?
Easily incorporated into your current skincare regime and lifestyle, patients often use this laser treatment to boost at-home skincare efforts, to maintain their skin and to help prevent signs of ageing.
If your skin doesn’t need much correction, you have or are planning to take the basic steps to keep your skin looking its best, and you like the way your skin looks now, Regenlite can help maintain your skin’s youthful appearance and prevent the early signs of aging.
There is no reason why those in their 30’s shouldn’t consider this treatment as a preventative treatment and to maintain and improve healthy skin.

The fact that I can leave Skin to Love without a blip is so important to me. Although the many treatments I have had with you are all fantastic and I love the result, Regenlite will always be my favourite because I get results and have no downtime–at all. The treatment is the fantastic and now sits firmly next PRP as my favourite. I LOVE this treatment. Thank you for recommending it.” – Cheryl
