Will it be uncomfortable?

The procedure is gentle and non-invasive. There should be minimal or no discomfort. You will feel a rubber band like snap of the skin as the procedure is performed.

However, this varies from patient to patient and depends on the depth of the treatment. There is no need for any topical anesthesia; however, patients may choose to use it on more sensitive areas.

Your physician will recommend the best options during consultation. What will happen during the procedure? Your eyes will be protected with safety shields or glasses. You may briefly feel a rubber band snap or warm sensation as the light is absorbed by the targeted areas.

Your procedure may take a few minutes to half an hour, depending on the size of the area to be treated and the type and depth of the procedure performed. Your physician will discuss all the options with you.

What aftercare do I need?

It is important to follow your physician’s instructions. You may be given some skin care products and instructions on how to use them. This will minimize your risk of inflammation or redness and ensure the shortest healing time.

You will be sensitive to ultraviolet light and you must avoid direct sun exposure until fully healed. Fully cover your skin or use a good sunscreen whenever you go outdoors.
