Initially, the laser is tested on a patch of your skin before the first treatment and every time the laser setting is changed. If there is no adverse skin reaction after one month, then the affected area can be treated. The skin is cleansed and protective equipment is supplied, such as goggles to protect your eyes. A topical anesthetic can sometimes be applied to the skin, depending on the intensity of the laser. The laser beam is then directed at the affected area.
Depending on your individual pain threshold, you may feel a slight stinging sensation from laser treatment.
Immediately following your treatment, your skin may feel hot and appear red or swollen. Redness and swelling can last for a few days, after which ‘micro-crust’ will form, giving a bronzed appearance to the affected skin area. Downtime can vary between 4-14 days, depending upon the density of treatment.
You may wish to take a few days off of work, depending on the density of treatment.
We also advice:
- avoiding make-up application for a few days following treatment.
- avoiding prolonged sun exposure and applying sunscreens minimum SPF 50 regularly throughout the day, even in winter.
- purchasing a brand new Vaseline and applying it to the affected area 3-4 times a day.
- washing your face with a mild facial cleanser.
- not picking crusty skin.
- avoiding strenuous exercise, bending, straining, stooping or lifting heavy objectsfor 1 week following the procedure.
Most people notice visible improvement within 7 days of treatment and experience progressive benefits for at least six months.
