What can I expect during treatment?
During the treatment, you may feel a slight warming sensation as the laser and LED light therapy are applied to your skin. The Glycolic treatment may cause a slight tingling sensation. The treatment is generally well-tolerated and does not require any topical anaesthetic.
How many treatments will I need?
We recommend a series of five treatments, spaced 3- 4 weeks apart, for optimal results. However, the number of treatments you need may vary depending on your individual skin concerns.
Is there any downtime after the treatment?
There is minimal downtime after the treatment, and you should be able to resume your normal activities immediately. However, it is important to avoid sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin.
