Laser Treatments
elevate your beauty
As we get older we lose collagen and elastin in our skin which can lead to a saggy facial tone or expression to the head and neck areas, along with the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and creases. Losing this protein, combined with a natural loss of fat on the face, can make the upper cheeks and chin look very tired and aged.

The Science
The technology
Laser treatments work by delivering focused light energy into the skin, which is absorbed by targeted structures such as pigment, blood vessels, or water in skin cells, depending on the concern being treated. This energy stimulates collagen production, resurfaces damaged tissue, or eliminates unwanted pigmentation and vessels, without harming the surrounding skin. The controlled injury triggers the body’s natural healing response, resulting in smoother, clearer, and more youthful skin over time. Dr Kathryn expertly calibrates the laser settings to suit each client’s skin type and concern, ensuring safe and effective results.
At The Real You Clinic, we combine medical expertise with the most advanced laser systems available — delivering results that are precise, safe, and tailored to your unique skin concerns.
Our portfolio includes:
Erbium Laser Resurfacing – offering both full ablation and fractional ablation for deep rejuvenation and resurfacing.
Fractional NAFL (Non-Ablative Fractional Laser) – featuring Candela Nordlys Frax 1550 nm and 1940 nm lasers for collagen stimulation, tone correction, and texture improvement.
CoolPeel & Advanced Resurfacing Options – gentle erbium-based treatments for refined results with minimal downtime.
Each treatment is performed by Dr Kathryn Taylor-Barnes, ensuring the highest medical standards and results that look beautifully natural.
Benefits of the Nordlys by Candela
The Nordlys system combines Ellipse SWT (Selective Waveband Technology) with fractional and non-fractional laser capabilities, making it ideal for treating vascular lesions, pigmentation, rosacea, thread veins, and skin rejuvenation. It offers minimal downtime, precision targeting, and visible results with fewer sessions, perfect for those looking for gentle, non-invasive treatments.
Benefits of the Dermablate Laser
The Asclepion Dermablate Erbium:YAG laser is a powerful resurfacing tool designed for deep skin renewal. It precisely removes damaged outer layers of skin, making it ideal for treating wrinkles, acne scars, severe sun damage, and skin laxity. With highly customisable settings and reduced thermal damage, the Dermablate delivers dramatic improvements with faster healing and a lower risk of side effects compared to traditional CO₂ lasers.

So glad I found Real You clinic!I was looking at 2 other clinics in London which I didn't feel comfortable using - their … More communication felt very factory like and impersonal, not to mention their expensive quotes for the under eye vein removal treatment I wanted.As soon as I got in touch with Real You, it was a different feeling. I managed to get an appointment shortly after. Dr Kathryn is kind and welcoming, she gives background on herself and her clinic. The clinic itself is very cute, fresh and more of a boutique style set up.Dr Kathryn took the time to explain the treatment, take in depth photos, explain what would happen .etc. I'm very happy with the results and will be going back for other treatments. Highly recommend.
