FAQ
-
What inspired you to specialise in laser treatments for aesthetic and dermatological concerns?
From the very beginning of my career, I was fascinated by how advanced technology could be used to improve skin health and appearance. Laser treatments offer a precise and effective way to address a wide range of concerns, from rejuvenation to the removal of benign skin lesions. The ability to help patients feel more confident in their own skin, often without the need for invasive surgery, is what truly drives my passion for this field.
-
What are your areas of expertise when it comes to laser treatments?
My work focuses on both aesthetic and medical laser treatments. I specialise in Fotona 4D and SmoothEye, which are highly effective non-surgical treatments designed to rejuvenate and tighten the skin. These treatments stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture, firmness, and overall radiance.
Beyond aesthetics, I also treat vascular skin conditions, including venous lakes and cherry angiomas, using laser technology to target and remove them safely and effectively. Additionally, I perform laser removal of common benign skin conditions such as skin tags, warts, and moles. These procedures allow patients to achieve clear, healthy skin without the need for surgical intervention. -
What should patients expect when they come to you for treatment?
Every patient is different, so my approach is always personalised. During a consultation, I take the time to assess their concerns, discuss their goals, and explain the most suitable treatment options. Whether a patient is looking to refresh their skin, reduce visible signs of ageing, or remove unwanted skin lesions, I ensure they have a clear understanding of what to expect from the treatment process.
For most laser treatments, the procedure is quick with minimal discomfort, and recovery time is usually very short. Patients are given detailed aftercare advice to help optimise their results. My aim is always to provide safe, effective treatments that deliver noticeable improvements while maintaining the natural beauty of the skin. -
What do you enjoy most about your work?
Seeing the transformation in my patients, both physically and in their confidence, is the most rewarding part of what I do. Whether it’s helping someone feel more comfortable in their skin or restoring a youthful glow with advanced laser techniques, every case is unique. I love being able to offer treatments that make a real difference, using the latest technology to provide outstanding results with minimal downtime.
Ida is truly an expert in her field. I had Fotona 4D treatment, and my skin has never looked better. It feels firmer, smoother, and so much more radiant. The whole experience was professional and comfortable, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my skin.
I had been struggling with skin tags for years and was hesitant about having them removed. Ida made the whole process so easy and painless. She explained everything clearly and made me feel completely at ease. The results are fantastic, and I wish I had done it sooner!
I went to see Ida for the removal of cherry angiomas, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. She was incredibly professional and explained everything in detail. The procedure was quick, and my skin looks completely clear now. Highly recommend!
I had a venous lake on my lip for years and was always self-conscious about it. After just two laser treatments with Ida, it was completely gone. She is so skilled and reassuring—I’m beyond happy with the outcome!
Ida is amazing! She recommended SmoothEye treatment for my under-eye area, and the difference is incredible. My skin looks firmer and fresher, and I feel much more confident. She’s not only talented but also kind and genuinely cares about her patients. Five stars all the way!
