What is the recovery time after treatment?
After your treatment you will experience redness, some swelling is likely and itching is also a common symptom of healing.
Over the next few days your skin will become dry, flaky and tighter. You will take this time to moisturise and nurture your skin while it heals. Usually after about 7 days you will be healed enough for make up, if you wear it.
You should be prepared to allow time for healing and not arrange your treatment close to important events.
Full results of the treatment can take a few weeks to up to a year as the skin rejuvenates from within.
Does it hurt?
Everyone has a different level of pain tolerence, however, numbing cream will be applied prior to the treatment commencing and this is usually very effective.
You can discuss any concerns at your consultation.
How do I prepare for my treatment?
- Clients on retinol products, glycolic acid or other AHA containing products or hydroquinone containing products should stop them 3 days before having laser
- You will need to make sure you do not have a tan on your face so avoid sunbathing the face for 14 days before your laser treatment and no sunbed use for 14 days before
- No fake tan can be on the face on the day you have laser so avoid self-tanning products on the face for 7 days before treatment
What is the aftercare for this treatment?
- Immediately after treatment, there may be redness and swelling at the treatment area (this can feel like mild sunburn).
- The application of a good moisturiser is recommended and can be done at home that evening
- Avoid sun exposure to reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation or darker pigmentation. SPF 50 sunscreen is a MUST.
