Typically, full face treatment can be completed in less than 15 minutes.

The skin is first cleansed and a topical local anaesthesia may also be applied to increase patient comfort during the procedure, the handpiece also has a built in cooling mechanism.

The laser treatment head is then passed over the surface of the treatment area in a series of horizontal and vertical overlapping passes, until an erythema or mild redness is noted in the skin by the practitioner.

The anaesthetic are washed off immediately after treatment.

It is very important that you follow the advice of your practitioner carefully after any light treatment to help make the procedure as successful as possible and to reduce the risk of complications.

Post – treatment advice may include:

• Women can camouflage skin redness with make-up right away if desired.
• Apply a hypoallergenic moisturizer which can help mask any bronzing and skin flaking symptoms.
• Avoid creams with active ingredients such as AHAs or Retinoids which irritate the skin and could impede the healing process.
• Do not sleep on the treated area, to help avoid any swelling; e.g., sleep on your back rather than your side if your face has been treated.
• Cool compresses (not ice packs) or cooling gels such as aloe vera can be applied to the treated area if required.
• Avoid sun exposure during treatment and healing phases and/or wear sunscreens with an SPF of 30+ which contain zinc oxide.
