About this procedure
Laser treatments use focused light energy to target pigmentation, pores, texture, and scarring — clearing dark spots and stimulating collagen renewal to leave skin clearer, smoother, and more radiant, usually with little downtime.
How the procedure works
Step-by-step procedure
- 1
Consultation & skin assessment — The practitioner evaluates your skin condition (pigmentation, pores, elasticity, scarring) and selects the right laser type and intensity for your goals.
- 2
Cleansing — The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed to remove makeup, oil, and dirt.
- 3
Numbing (if needed) — For lasers that can cause discomfort (e.g., CO2, fractional), a topical numbing cream is applied for about 20–30 minutes beforehand.
- 4
Laser treatment — The practitioner passes the laser device over the designated area. Depending on the laser type, you may feel tingling, warmth, or mild discomfort.
- 5
Soothing care — Immediately after, cooling masks, calming creams, or recovery ampoules are applied to soothe the skin.
- 6
Sun protection guidance — Since skin becomes more sensitive post-treatment, you’ll be advised on sunscreen use and precautions when going outside.
What happens afterward
Immediately–1–2 days: mild redness, warmth, slight swelling (varies by laser intensity)
3–7 days: with stronger lasers (e.g., CO2), micro-scabbing or temporary darkening of pigment (before it flakes off) may occur
1–2 weeks: skin tone gradually becomes clearer and smoother
Weeks to months: collagen renewal continues, gradually improving elasticity, pores, and scarring
Typical treatment plan
Usually done as a series of 3–5 sessions, spaced 2–4 weeks apart
Periodic maintenance sessions recommended to sustain results
