HOW?
The laser creates a beam of high-intensity light that
 penetrates deep into skin tissue where it delivers a
controlled amount of targeted therapeutic heat to
the Pigmented lesion.


The therapeutic laser energy is absorbed by the
targeted melanin leaving the surrounding tissue
safe. Over a 5-14 day period the treated pigmented
lesion typically becomes crusted and begins to sloth
off naturally.


HOW DOES IT FEEL?
Some patients may feel a slight discomfort with each
laser pulse, sometimes described as the snapping of
a rubber band on the skin. This discomfort resolves
in several seconds. For some patients, a topical
anesthetic may be used prior to treatment. Be sure
to discuss this with your Laser Technician.


HOW MANY TREATMENT SESSIONS
WILL I NEED?
The number of sessions will vary from person to
person. Some clients will only require 1 sessions to
lighten or remove a pigmented lesion while others
may require more to successfully remove the lesion.
Many factors impact the efficacy of individual laser
treatments, including the severity of the condition
being treated.


HOW DO I PREPARE FOR TREATMENT?
The intended treatment area should not be exposed
to sunlight or tanning booth light for 14 days prior
to treatment. Temporary tanning or pigmentation
cream and products must be completely removed
and exfoliated prior to treatment.
 ***DO NOT USE ANY ALCOHOL BASED PRODUCTS
(MOISTURIZERS, SHAVING CREAMS, PERFUMES, ECT..) ON
THE TREATMENT AREA 24 HOURS PRIOR TO YOUR
TREATMENT TO PREVENT COMPLICATIONS.

    
 

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER TREATMENT?
In most cases the area will remain red and appear to
be mildly irritated after treatment. this may last
several days. Within 5-14 day the treated lesion will
most likely become crusted and begin to sloth off
naturally. These areas should not be picked or scraped,
simply let the areas shed on their own. A cool
compress, gel pack or soothing cream may be applied
for comfort following your treatment. Any redness or
swelling should resolve within a few hours. If redness
or swelling last longer DO NOT PANIC it will resolve
within 24-48 hours.

WHAT PRECAUTIONS SHOULD I TAKE
AFTER TREATMENT?
After laser treatment, prevent sun exposure by
applying sun block (SPF 30 or above) using a broad
spectrum sunscreen containing either zinc oxide or
titanium dioxide. In the first few days after
treatment, don’t scrub or rinse the treated areas
with abrasive skin cleansers. Your practitioner may
advise additional precautions.

ARE THERE SIDE EFFECTS?
Your risks are minimal. Side effects may include
redness, swelling, hyperpigmentation,
hypopigmentation, blistering, and purpura (a laser
bruise), in the treated area—these usually do not last
more than a few days. Permanent side effects are
rare. Be sure to discuss potential side effects with
your Laser Technician.
