Protective eyewear is provided
Laser pulses are applied to the targeted area
Mild discomfort like a snapping sensation may be felt
Most treatments are quick, depending on the area size, and are performed in a relaxed, professional setting.
Aftercare Tips
After your first session:
Avoid direct sun and apply sunscreen to treated areas
Use gentle skincare products; avoid exfoliating for a few days
