Fractional lasers generally require one to three treatments to achieve the look you want. If you need multiple treatments, it’s recommended to set the sessions two weeks apart.
Immediately after treatment, your skin will be red and feel sensitive and sunburned. Redness, swelling, itching or stinging may last for a few days. Depending on the treatment, skin may even appear raw, ooze a yellow liquid and even blister.
Avoid all alpha hydroxy and beta hydroxy products (AHA/BHA), hydroquinone’s, retinols/retinoids, aspirin, Tazorac, Differin, and Vitamin E products for 3 days before your treatment. Clients should come to their treatment with a clean face and no make-up on.
Avoid using any “active” skin care and exfoliating for at least 7-10 days to avoid hypopigmentation. Avoid (Glycolic’s or Vitamin A). Cleanse, moisturise and sunscreen everyday.
Wear sunscreen and avoid the sun after the treatment.
