What will it feel like?
Treatments are very well tolerated. Many clients describe the treatment as a ‘warm sensation’ or the snap of a rubber band.
What do I need to do before a treatment?
You will need to avoid the sun, tanning beds and self-tanning creams and lotions prior to treatment. There may be some medications that you will need to avoid and your physician will cover these during your consultation.
How long will it take?
The procedure typically takes less than 20 minutes to perform depending on the size of the area or number of pigmented lesions being treated.Often you will see great results after the first treatment session but 2-3 sessions may be required for optimal outcomes.
What will happen after the procedure?
Some patients experience a mild sunburn sensation for a short time after the procedure. We may apply some ice immediately following your treatment to help minimize this. The pigmented lesions will darken over the next few days. The area will look a bit “dirty” or dark for about a week. Over this time, the treated skin will slough off, revealing fresh new skin.
How quickly will I recover?
Typically, you can resume regular daily activities immediately following treatment. Makeup can be applied to the treated area immediately, if necessary.It is extremely important to apply a moisturizer with SPF30 sun block and avoid sun exposure on a daily basis to prevent additional sun damage.
What areas can be treated?
Laser pigment clearance can be performed on the face and chest, as well as on the hands, arms and legs
Am I a candidate?
Our laser specialists can give you a consultation and talk with you about your skin type to confirm if you would be a good candidate for this treatment.
