What to Expect
Before your treatment, our team will assess your skin type, discuss your goals, and set realistic expectations. If you’re a good candidate, we’ll schedule your procedure. On the day of the treatment, your skin will be cleansed, and a numbing cream will be applied to minimize discomfort. Your provider will then pass the laser over the skin to create microthermal zones. The procedure typically lasts 20 minutes to an hour, depending on the treatment area. The laser energy is delivered in microbursts, so the surrounding untreated skin creates new skin cells, facilitating a faster recovery. After 5-10 days, you may return to normal activity.
Post-Treatment
- Expect redness similar to a sunburn, which may last up to two weeks.
- Swelling is common and should subside within 3-10 days.
- Your skin will begin to flake after a few days, avoid picking or rubbing.
- Use gentle cleansers, moisturizers, and prescribed topicals to aid recovery.
- Specialized post-procedure products will help reduce redness and swelling.
- Wear sun protection at all times during recovery to prevent scarring.
