How It Works
- It uses a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser wavelength, non‑ablative (does not remove the top skin layer).
- The laser gently heats the deeper dermis (the layer below the surface) to stimulate collagen and elastin production (neocollagenesis) which improves skin structure over time.
- It also targets micro‑vasculature (small blood vessels) to reduce redness and inflammation.
- Because it’s lower energy and non‑ablative, downtime is minimal (you can usually resume normal activities fairly quickly).
Pre Treatment
- Avoid sun tanning, spray tans, self‑tanner and excessive sun exposure for ~2‑4 weeks prior.
- Stop using strong exfoliating products / active ingredients (e.g., retinoids, AHAs/BHAs) ~1‑2 weeks before (or per provider).
- Arrive with clean skin (no makeup, lotions, oils) in the area to be treated.
- Inform clinic of any medications (photosensitising drugs, Accutane history, etc.), and if you have history of cold sores, keloids, etc.
Post Treatment Care
- Mild redness or warmth is common immediately after (often resolves within hours).
- Avoid heavy sun exposure; use a broad‑spectrum sunscreen (UVA/UVB) daily.
- Skip using harsh actives (strong retinoids, exfoliants, acids) and avoid hot tubs/saunas/heat for 1‑2 days (or as instructed).
- Multiple sessions are usually required (e.g., 4‑8 treatments spaced 3‑4 weeks apart) for best results.
