How It Works
- 01
Consultation & Assessment
We evaluate skin thickness, pigmentation, wrinkle depth, scarring, sensitivity, and downtime availability to choose the correct laser type.
- 02
Numbing & Comfort
Topical numbing applied, with cooling systems and optional nerve blocks for deeper treatments.
- 03
Laser Treatment
The laser device passes over skin in controlled patterns. You may feel warmth, tingling, or light snapping. Treatment takes about 20 to 60 minutes depending on the area, plus numbing time.
- 04
Recovery
Skin may appear red, swollen, and warm immediately after. We provide a full home-care regimen for optimal healing.
