Lasers for Dermatological Treatments

Even out your skin tone and restore your skin's texture and firmness.

Do you identify with any of these situations?

Pigmented lesions such as melasma, freckles and sun spots.
Vascular lesions such as rosacea, telangiectasia and facial redness.
Irregular skin texture, including wrinkles, acne scars and enlarged pores
Skin laxity caused by collagen and elastin loss.
Unwanted tattoos.
Unwanted facial and body hair.

Pigmentation, vascular lesions, irregular skin texture, skin laxity, unwanted tattoos and unwanted hair have different causes — sun exposure, ageing, genetics, hormonal changes or past choices — but they share one thing in common: they leave visible, long-lasting changes to the skin that can affect your confidence. It doesn't have to be that way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is prior consultation necessary?

Yes, the first step is to actually schedule a dermatological consultation with dermatologist Dr. Daniela Gorgulho for accurate diagnoses and the best treatment plans for you.

Does the procedure take a long time?

Depending on the treatment protocol, the topical anaesthetic may need to be applied for 30 to 60 minutes before the procedure. The laser treatment itself typically takes between 10 and 60 minutes.

Is the procedure painful?

As a potent topical anaesthetic cream is applied for 30 to 60 minutes before the laser treatment, the procedure is generally well tolerated.

Can I have laser treatment during the summer?

Laser treatments can be performed at any time of the year. However, proper post-treatment care is essential, including protecting the treated area from sun exposure, regardless of the season.

Is CO₂ laser always the best option?

CO₂ laser remains an excellent treatment option for certain conditions. However, dermatology has evolved significantly, and today there are other laser technologies capable of delivering excellent results, often with shorter downtime (recovery time) and a lower risk of side effects for certain patients.

At Daniela Gorgulho Clinic, we offer a comprehensive range of dermatological lasers, including CO₂ laser and other state-of-the-art laser technologies, as well as advanced treatments such as Radiofrequency and HIFU. This allows us to select, for each patient, the most appropriate laser — or combination of lasers — based on their skin characteristics, the condition being treated, the desired results and the available recovery time.

Our goal is not to use the most well-known laser, but rather the technology that offers the best balance of effectiveness, safety and recovery for your specific needs.

I have dark skin. Can I undergo laser treatment?

Yes. At Daniela Gorgulho Clinic, we offer laser treatment protocols for all skin phototypes, including dark skin. Each treatment protocol is personalised according to the patient's skin phototype, skin condition, treatment goals and desired recovery time.

All treatment protocols are designed and approved by dermatologist Dr. Daniela Gorgulho, ensuring that every treatment is tailored to the specific needs of each patient.

Are lasers better than chemical peels?

In most cases, lasers provide a more precise, more personalised and more effective treatment because they target specific structures within the skin. As a result, they are often the preferred option for treating wrinkles, scars, pigmentation, vascular lesions and stimulating collagen remodelling.

However, chemical peels continue to play an important role in dermatology. In certain cases, they may be the best treatment option or complement laser therapy, enhancing the overall results.

At Daniela Gorgulho Clinic, we always select the treatment — or combination of treatments — that offers the best balance of effectiveness, safety and recovery time for each patient.

Can I return to my activities on the same day?

For some laser treatments, such as laser hair removal, tattoo removal and certain other procedures, patients can usually return to their normal activities on the same day. For pigmentation treatments, recovery typically takes 1 to 2 days. For treatments targeting skin texture, wrinkles and scars, recovery may range from 3 to 7 days.

In which languages can I receive assistance?

The service is in Portuguese 🇵🇹 or English 🇬🇧 with an interpreter present.

What are the opening hours?

Consultations are available Monday to Friday, from 10:45 am to 8:15 pm, excluding public holidays.

What is the cost of the procedure?
