Where it’s used: Face is the most commonly performed area, along with neck and chest.

How often: Depending on the severity of skin concerns, 1-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

What to expect: Topical numbing is applied to the treatment area for 45 mins prior, the laser procedure can take 30 mins – 60 mins depending on how large the surface area is. Redness and swelling for 24-48 hours after treatment, followed by 4-7 days of mild peeling and flaking. Noticeable improvement in weeks with continued improvement for 6-12 months.
