You need to know
Laser pigmentation removal may require multiple treatments. It will not prevent new sun spots from forming if you do not protect your skin from the sun. We cannot guarantee complete removal of all pigmented areas as results vary by individual and condition type.
Pre-treatment
In the treatment area, avoid sun exposure, tanning, and self-tanners for at least two weeks before your appointment. Let us know about any medications you take, especially those that increase sun sensitivity, or health conditions we should know about. Be ready to discuss your skin concerns and previous treatments you have tried.
What to expect
Your skin may appear slightly red immediately after treatment. Darker spots may temporarily darker before they begin to fade. Most people seen improvement after the first treatment, but multiple sessions are typically needed for optimal results. Treatments are usually spaced 4-6 weeks apart to allow your skin to heal between sessions. Full results become visible over several weeks as your body naturally removes the treated pigment. Proper sun protection is essential to maintain results and prevent new pigmentation.
