Lasers are used in systematic sequences in order to treat various skin layers. The laser creates a beam of high-intensity light that penetrates deep into the skin tissue, which delivers a controlled amount of targeted therapeutic heat. The strong light pulse is applied to the area of treatment, while the contact surface of the skin is cooled by the contact hand piece. Damaged melanin is reabsorbed by lymphatic system that stimulates fibroblasts in the skin to create new collagen and elastin. New collagen and elastin tighten skin, improve skin appearance and pores and give a youthful look. At the end of the treatment the gel is removed, the skin is re-cleaned with cold water and gently dried with soft paper towel. Cream or gel moisturizer is applied to the treated area.

Immediately after the treatment, the area exposed to the laser light will be red and sore. Redness will dwindle within a few minutes after the end of treatment. Most patients’ skin is completely calmed overnight and the next day they can use standard products for skin care and make-up.

Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 7-10 days after the treatment, do not apply soap directly to the treated area if your skin is not calmed, and do not rub the face during the first few days after the treatment. Avoid toners, various serums, facial peeling and heavy make-up until your skin is completely calmed. You can apply ice to the problem area to help you be more comfortable and to speed up recovery.
