WHAT TO EXPECT?
One of our experienced dermal clinicians will begin by cleansing your skin based on your individual skin profile.
Lasers produce a lot of heat, so this treatment is mildly uncomfortable, with most people describing a prickling sensation and some heat but rest assured the sensation does pass quickly. We will check in with you to make sure it’s tolerable for you and provide you with ice to cool the area as soon as possible.
This treatment is not what we would consider a lunchtime treatment, meaning you won’t look exactly the same as when you walked in, your skin may feel sensitive, you will be red, and you might experience some swelling.
To finish, your skin will be topped with a non-irritating sun protection product – an absolute must for now and into the future. A crust may form on the treatment area over your freckles and other pigmented lesions, and the treated area can appear darker initially. After 7-10 days the crusts will spontaneously fall off and the pigmentation will appear lighter in colour and smaller in size.
