FAQs for Sun/Age spots

How does it work?

Laser facial treatment works by directing a beam of light to an irregularity in the skin, such as enlarged blood vessels or irregular chromophore. This removes the abnormality without scarring or damage, while stimulating collagen production to tighten the surrounding tissue, resulting in improved skin texture and reduced signs of aging.

How does this treatment differ from chemical peels and dermabrasion?

Unlike other treatments that remove an outer layer of skin and require significant healing time, laser treatment works by gently penetrating the skin to destroy the underlying vessels and pigment that are the cause of the problem. The outer skin itself is not damaged.

Is the treatment painful?

The treatment causes only minimal discomfort and any initial soreness is easily alleviated with a cold air cooling system.

How many treatments are required?

For sun/age spots and skin pigmentation as little as one treatment might be enough. For facial skin rejuvenations; typically several sessions are required for full-face treatment. The average treatment takes about 15 – 20 minutes. Results may be seen after the first few treatments. The treatment can be performed in a relaxed, comfortable manner without the use of typical anesthetics or gel.

How long does recovery take?

You’ll be able to return to normal activities immediately, though sunscreen should be applied as a post-treatment precaution.

How does it work?

Cosmetic laser treatments reverse the signs of aging and sun-damaged skin by stimulating collagen production and promoting tissue tightening through tissue coagulation.

Am I a candidate?

It’s as simple as this – if your skin is showing signs of aging, then you are a candidate for laser treatment. Your doctor or practitioner can help you determine your specific needs.

Are there any side effects to treatment?

Anti-aging treatment should cause only minimal discomfort. Any redness, swelling or puffiness that occurs can be gone within a few days, if not a few hours.

How many treatments are required?

Results vary with each case. Patients may require anywhere from 2 – 6 treatments to achieve desired results. Each session will last from 15 to 30 minutes.

How long do results last?

Just like the aging process itself, this varies from person to person. However, if you take steps to protect and preserve your freshly rejuvenated skin – such as using SPF sunscreen, facial cleansers and creams – the results will last longer.
