Modern dermatology has come a long way in helping people achieve healthier, smoother and more radiant skin without surgery. Among today’s innovative technologies, RedTouch Laser stands out for its ability to rejuvenate skin from within. This is achieved not by removing the surface, but by restoring the deeper layers that keep skin firm and youthful.
Designed with precision and comfort in mind, this treatment gently stimulates collagen production and improves skin tone, texture and elasticity. Whether your goal is to reduce fine lines, refine pores or brighten tired skin, RedTouch Laser provides visible improvement with minimal downtime, making it an ideal option for busy lifestyles.
The RedTouch laser is a non-ablative rejuvenation system that uses a unique 675nm wavelength, which is a highly specific spectrum of red light that interacts directly with collagen fibres in the skin.
Unlike many lasers that work by removing or resurfacing the upper skin layer, RedTouch targets the dermal collagen network while keeping the surface intact. This means it can deliver powerful skin renewal benefits with far less redness, peeling or sensitivity than traditional laser treatments.
It is suitable for both men and women who want to refresh their appearance or treat early signs of ageing, pigmentation or scarring without significant recovery time.
At the heart of RedTouch laser’s effectiveness is its scientifically optimised wavelength. It is designed to reach the dermis, where collagen fibres are most active, while bypassing melanin in the epidermis. This wavelength allows it to treat various skin tones safely and effectively.
The mechanism works in stages, such as:
The treatment is known for its versatility and gentle yet powerful results. Some of the key benefits include:
RedTouch laser can be used for both aesthetic enhancements and therapeutic skin concerns. It is suitable for:
Although the treatment is suitable for individuals who want visible skin rejuvenation without aggressive treatments, it is also ideal for:
The treatment is designed to be comfortable, safe and reassuring, especially for those who are new to laser treatments. The process typically entails:
Before the procedure
Our dermatologist will begin with a detailed consultation to assess your skin type, medical history and goals. The treatment area is then cleansed thoroughly. In some cases, numbing cream may be applied for added comfort, although most patients find the procedure very tolerable.
You may be advised to avoid retinoids, harsh exfoliants or direct sun exposure for a few days before the session to ensure your skin is calm and well-prepared.
During the procedure
The treatment typically lasts 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. Using a handheld device, our dermatologist glides the laser across your skin in precise and even passes. You may feel a mild warmth or light prickling sensation, but it is rarely uncomfortable.
The RedTouch laser is designed for controlled precision, meaning it delivers energy only where it is needed without harming the surface.
After the procedure
It depends on the condition and its severity. A single session may be enough for smaller acne lesions, but conditions such as keloids, hypertrophic scars or alopecia areata often require several injections spaced four to six weeks apart.
Infection-related triggers
Soon after the treatment, your skin may appear slightly pink or warm, similar to a light sunburn. This usually subsides within a few hours to a day.
You can return to normal activities right away, though our dermatologist may recommend:
RedTouch laser produces natural and gradual improvements that enhance your skin’s health and appearance over time.
Within the first few weeks, you may notice:
The full benefits usually emerge over 4 to 8 weeks as new collagen continues to form. These improvements can last several months and maintenance sessions help sustain long-term results.
What makes RedTouch laser particularly appealing is how subtle yet noticeable the changes are. Most people simply look rested, refreshed and naturally rejuvenated rather than overdone or static.
The ideal number of sessions depends on your skin’s condition, desired results and our dermatologist’s assessment. But the rule of thumb is:
It is important to understand that consistency is key, as collagen rebuilding is a gradual biological process. That is why it is highly encouraged to follow our dermatologist’s recommended schedule to ensure lasting and healthy improvements.
Your skin deserves care that is as advanced as it is gentle. At Livingstone Dermatology, our dermatologists personalise each RedTouch laser treatment to your unique skin type and goals.
Whether you are looking to restore a youthful glow, smooth out fine lines or even out skin texture, RedTouch offers a modern and low-downtime way to refresh your complexion safely and effectively.

Is RedTouch Laser safe for all skin types?
Yes, the RedTouch laser is designed with safety in mind. Its 675 nm wavelength specifically targets collagen while minimising heat absorption in melanin, making it suitable for a wide range of skin tones. This means a lower risk of pigmentation changes, burns or irritation compared to older laser technologies. Our dermatologist will still assess your skin type and medical history to ensure a safe and personalised treatment plan.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most people find the treatment very comfortable. You may feel gentle warmth or mild tingling as the laser passes over your skin. If you have sensitive skin, a numbing cream can be applied beforehand to make the session even more relaxing. The RedTouch technology delivers energy in a controlled and precise way, ensuring comfort while stimulating deep collagen renewal.
Can the RedTouch laser be used on the neck or body?
Yes. While commonly used on the face, RedTouch laser can also treat areas like the neck, decolletage and hands, where skin thinning and laxity often appear first. It helps tighten and revitalise these delicate areas safely and effectively.
Can the RedTouch laser be combined with other aesthetic treatments?
Absolutely. RedTouch laser pairs well with skin boosters, microneedling, chemical peels and even injectables for a more complete rejuvenation plan. Combining treatments can enhance hydration, smoothness and firmness. But it is always best to do so under the guidance of a qualified dermatologist who can tailor a safe and effective sequence for your skin.
Is the RedTouch laser suitable for men as well?
Yes. Skin ageing affects everyone and the RedTouch laser is effective for both men and women. It is especially popular among men who prefer low-maintenance treatments that yield natural-looking results without visible peeling or downtime.
How does the RedTouch laser compare to other laser treatments?
Unlike traditional resurfacing lasers that remove the top layer of skin, RedTouch laser works beneath the surface, focusing on collagen remodelling with minimal downtime. It offers a gentler, non-ablative approach to rejuvenation, making it an excellent choice for people seeking natural and progressive improvement rather than dramatic overnight change.
