Laser Treatments FAQ
What skin concerns can laser treatments improve?
Laser treatments aren’t just a one-trick pony. They can help address several skin imperfections, including.
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Pigmentation issues, such as sun damage and age spots
- Uneven skin tone
- Acne scars
- Enlarged pores
- Vascular lesions
- Mild skin laxity
- Rough texture
A consultation with a qualified skin doctor will help determine whether laser treatment is suitable for achieving your aesthetic goals.
What is the difference between ablative and non-ablative lasers?
Ablative lasers, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and erbium: YAG, remove the outer layers (epidermis) of damaged skin and heat the layer beneath. They provide more dramatic corrections but require more downtime. These treatments are ideal for deeper wrinkles and advanced sun damage.
Non-ablative lasers heat the deeper layers of skin (dermis) without removing the surface. They stimulate collagen production with minimal downtime. Results are gradual but effective for improving tone, texture, and mild imperfections. Non-ablative lasers require several sessions to achieve the desired results.
What should I do to prepare before my appointment?
Preparation depends on the type of laser treatment, but it generally includes:
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning
- Stop retinoids or strong exfoliants several days prior
- Keep your skin hydrated
- On the day of treatment, arrive with clean skin without makeup or lotions
- Inform your skin doctor of current medications
Following instructions reduces the risk of side effects and improves outcomes.
Are laser treatments safe for all skin types?
Modern laser systems can safely treat a wide range of skin tones with professional oversight. However, not every laser is suitable for every complexion. A consultation with an experienced skin doctor, such as Dr. Jennifer Kish, helps determine whether laser treatment is safe for your skin tone.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on your skin issues and the type of laser used. Some ablative treatments require one session for noticeable improvement. Non-ablative treatments typically require 3–6 sessions spaced several weeks apart. We’ll provide the number of sessions needed to achieve the desired results during your consultation.
Is laser skin treatment painful?
Treatment may cause discomfort, but not pain. Most patients describe it as a warmth or a snapping sensation. Some laser devices have built-in cooling technology to maximize your comfort. Sometimes, your skin therapist may apply a topical numbing cream to improve comfort.
Is there any downtime after laser treatment?
Downtime varies by treatment type. Non-ablative procedures may cause mild redness for a day or two. Ablative resurfacing may involve redness, swelling, and peeling for 1-2 weeks. Your skin doctor will explain what to expect and how to reduce downtime.
When will I start seeing results?
Some improvement is visible within days as your skin brightens. Significant results become noticeable as collagen remodeling continues over 3-6 months. Many patients need retreatment sessions to maintain the results.
Can I combine laser treatments with other cosmetic procedures?
Yes! You can combine laser treatments with neuromodulators, dermal fillers, or microneedling for comprehensive rejuvenation. Your skin therapist will create a personalized treatment plan to achieve the desired results safely and effectively.
