You will be able to go back to your everyday routine immediately. There may be a mild flushing of the skin which can be concealed with some light make up (ask your doctor to advise as each person’s skin condition is different). Use of sunblock and sun avoidance is essential post-treatment. There is unlikely to be any scabbing/crusting/peeling nor major swelling with this treatment.
Only 30 minutes per session.
Most patients might feel a prickling sensation and some warmth when the laser is applied to the skin. Where there is more pigmentation or oily pores in certain areas, patience might feel a slightly sharper tapping sensation. The mild pain is usually tolerable even with no anesthesia.
For best results we would recommend that you embark on a course of treatments of about 4 – 6 sessions (2-4 weeks apart each) depending on individual skin condition and our doctor’s recommendation.
