Benefits Of Laser Treatments

 - Lightening and removing “sun spots”, “age spots”, freckles and brown blotches on the face, neck, chest, hands and other areas of the body
- Removal of Seborrheic Keratosis

Pre Treatment Instructions – Laser Treatment
- Don’t sunbathe or use a tanning bed
- Do not use a fake tan
- Do not use depilatory creams on treatment area

Post Treatment Instructions – Laser Treatment
Areas treated by the laser(s) will be sensitive during the initial 7-10 day healing phase, and must be treated with care. As a result, your response to treatment will not be evaluated until after this initial healing phase is completed – typically several weeks after treatment.

- To prevent swelling, or reduce any swelling if it occurs, apply an ice pack to the treated area. The ice should be wrapped in a soft cloth and applied for 10-15 minutes each 30 minutes hour, for the first 4-6 hours. In some instances, you may continue this icing process for the first 2 days after treatment. Post procedure icing is the most important task to do following this procedure.

 - Showers are permitted, but prolonged bathing is not advised. Heat, hot water, sauna, hot tub, and such will cause the treatment site to get inflamed and swell more. Do not rub with a towel or washcloth, because the area is extremely delicate while healing.

 - Any discomfort you feel (usually not lasting more than 6 hours) should be relieved with panadol. Do not ingest aspirin or medicines containing aspirin during the 7 day healing period as it could increase any bruising or temporary purple marks.

 - Do not tan the area treated. Use a sunscreen with an SPF 30 or greater throughout the course of treatment. Avoid direct sun exposure on the site until the area is fully healed.
Avoid swimming and contact sports while the skin is healing, especially if there is any crusting of the area treated.

​

 - Do not pop any blisters, or pick any scabs.

​

 - Do not apply make-up or skin rejuvenation products to the site for 24 hours.

 - Everyone heals differently, depending on your particular condition, the type of laser you were treated with, and the way your skin reacts to the laser(s).

If you develop any blisters, crusts, prolonged swelling, pain in the area treated, or if you are concerned please seek medical advice.

If you find the area treated is sensitive, continue abiding by the above list for another week. You should be able to resume all of your regular activities immediately. By dividing the full program into several treatments, the procedure provides improvement with low risk.
