Laser Skin Rejuvenation in the West Island, at our DDO clinic.

Our Pico laser sends ultra-short bursts of light that are absorbed by the excess melanin trapped in a dark spot, age spot or sun spot. That energy shatters the pigment into microscopic particles, which your body then naturally clears away over the following weeks — so the spot fades and the surrounding skin is left untouched. It reaches pigment that creams, serums and facials cannot. Stubborn spots and melasma usually need a short series. At your free consultation in the West Island we'll assess your spots and map an exact plan.

Yes. Our vascular laser delivers a wavelength that the haemoglobin inside a spider vein or broken capillary absorbs. The vessel heats, collapses and is gradually reabsorbed by the body, so it fades from view while the skin around it stays intact. It works on facial spider veins, broken capillaries around the nose and cheeks, and small leg veins. Some vessels clear in a single session; others need two or three. We assess yours during your free West Island consultation at our DDO clinic.

It does. Diffuse facial redness and rosacea flushing are caused by countless tiny dilated vessels just under the surface. Vascular laser targets the haemoglobin in those vessels and gently reduces them, calming the overall redness and giving you a more even, settled tone over a series of sessions. Laser does not cure rosacea, but it is one of the most effective ways to manage the persistent redness and flushing — and many West Island clients pair it with a tailored skincare plan from our Dollard-des-Ormeaux clinic.

Absolutely. The hands, chest, shoulders and back show sun damage and age spots just as much as the face — often more, because they're rarely protected. Our Pico laser treats pigmentation on these areas the same way it treats the face: it shatters the trapped pigment so your body can clear it, leaving brighter, more even skin. Aging hands and a sun-spotted décolleté are two of the most popular non-facial treatments we perform for West Island clients across DDO, Kirkland, Pointe-Claire and Pierrefonds.

For most of our laser treatments, downtime is minimal. After pigment and vascular sessions, the skin is usually a little pink or warm for a few hours, and treated dark spots may darken and form a fine crust that flakes off over a week — that's the pigment leaving. Vein and redness sessions may leave brief redness or mild swelling. Laser tightening has essentially no downtime beyond temporary warmth. Most West Island clients return to work and normal life the same day. We tell you exactly what to expect and give every client a written aftercare plan.

It depends on the concern. A single isolated dark spot can clear in one or two sessions; widespread pigment and melasma usually take a series of three to six. Spider veins and broken capillaries often need one to three sessions, while diffuse redness and rosacea respond best to a series. Laser skin tightening is gradual and works best over a planned course as new collagen builds. Sessions are spaced a few weeks apart. At your free consultation at our Dollard-des-Ormeaux clinic we'll give you an honest, exact estimate for your skin.

You can book online any time, call us at 1-888-808-0955, or start with a free skin consultation. Our clinic is at 45 Brunswick, Dollard-des-Ormeaux — the closest medical esthetics clinic for DDO, Kirkland, Pointe-Claire, Pierrefonds and Beaconsfield, with no downtown commute. We recommend a consultation first so we can match the right laser and settings to your concern and skin tone before your first session.

Avoid Sun & Tanning

Keep the treatment area out of direct sun and avoid tanning or self-tanner for at least 2 weeks beforehand. Tanned or sun-stressed skin cannot be lasered safely.

Pause Strong Actives

Stop retinoids, AHAs/BHAs and strong exfoliating actives for 5 to 7 days before so your skin is calm and not over-sensitized.

Skip Waxing & Bleaching

No waxing, plucking or bleaching of the treatment area for a week before — the laser needs the natural target intact for a precise, even result.

Tell Us Your History

Let us know about cold sores, recent procedures, medical treatments a doctor has you on (including photosensitizers) or pregnancy — this guides which laser and settings are safe for you.

Apply SPF 30+ Every Day

Freshly treated skin is highly UV-sensitive. Use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily and reapply — West Island UV climbs fast in summer, especially near the parks and waterfront.

Let Spots Flake Off

Treated dark spots may darken and form a fine crust before flaking away over about a week. Do not pick or scrub — let them shed naturally to avoid marks.

Keep It Cool & Gentle

Use only the soothing products we recommend. Avoid retinoids, acids and scrubs, and apply a cool compress if the area feels warm after a vascular or tightening session.

No Heat or Sweat

Skip saunas, steam, hot yoga and intense workouts for 48 to 72 hours to keep the treated skin calm while it settles and renews.

Most adults bothered by dark spots, age spots, sun spots, melasma, spider veins, broken capillaries, diffuse redness or rosacea flushing, body and hand pigmentation, or early laxity and fine lines are excellent candidates. With the right device and settings, laser suits most skin tones — though pigment and vascular work require careful calibration on darker skin, which is why we skin-type and test first. Laser may be postponed for a fresh tan, active cold sores, recent oral acne therapy, photosensitizing medication or pregnancy. Your technician will confirm what's safe during your free consultation.

Yes. Laser skin rejuvenation pairs beautifully with Microneedling for acne scars and texture, with a Chemical Peel for surface brightening between laser sessions, and with HydraDermabrasion for hydration and glow. Your technician at our Dollard-des-Ormeaux clinic will sequence treatments safely so they complement, rather than over-stress, your skin.
