Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
Light Resurfacing with Erbium YAG Laser - Many clients experience a visible glow and smoother texture after a single treatment, but optimal results often require a series of 2–3 sessions, spaced approximately 4 weeks apart.
Moderate Resurfacing with Erbium YAG Laser- Most clients benefit from 1–3 treatments, depending on their skin goals. Results build over time as collagen production increases.
Deep Resurfacing with Erbium YAG Laser - Often, a single treatment delivers dramatic results; however, deeper wrinkles or scarring may require a staged approach with two or more treatments spaced 2–3 months apart.
-
Light Resurfacing with Erbium YAG Laser - Discomfort is minimal—most clients describe a warm, prickly sensation. Topical numbing is available but often not needed.
Moderate Resurfacing with Erbium YAG Laser - We apply numbing cream to keep you comfortable. You may feel warmth or light stinging during the treatment, followed by a sunburn-like sensation for 24–48 hours.
Deep Resurfacing with Erbium YAG Laser - This level requires a longer numbing period and more post-treatment sensitivity. We provide detailed aftercare and support to ensure your comfort during the healing process.
-
Light Resurfacing with Erbium YAG Laser - Generally safe for Fitzpatrick I–III, and sometimes IV depending on skin condition. We take a conservative approach to minimize the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
Moderate Resurfacing with Erbium YAG Laser - Best for fair to medium skin tones. We may adjust settings or recommend alternative treatments if you’re prone to pigment sensitivity.
Deep Resurfacing with Erbium YAG Laser - Not recommended for deeper skin tones due to the risk of pigment changes. We’ll guide you to safer alternatives if needed.
-
Light Resurfacing with Erbium YAG Laser - Yes—this can be combined with facials, LED therapy, or light chemical peels for enhanced glow and maintenance.
Moderate Resurfacing with Erbium YAG Laser - Often paired with microneedling, PRP, or targeted pigment treatments as part of a long-term rejuvenation plan.
Deep Resurfacing with Erbium YAG Laser - Should be performed on its own, with other treatments added only once the skin has fully healed. We’ll help you phase your plan for maximum results.
