How does the treatment feel?
Treatment is mildly uncomfortable but there is
no need for anaesthesia and the procedure is
actually quite quick. Sensations vary but most
describe it as a very quick hot pin prick.
Are there any side effects?
After treatment the area may feel warm
for a few hours. Rarely some delicate skin
areas such as the cheeks or décolleté can
be red and slightly swollen for up to 48
hours. Though very rare, there is a chance
a small blister may form and there could be
temporary lightening or darkening of the skin.
How long does each treatment take?
Treatments typically take from 15 to 45
minutes, depending on the type and size of
lesion.
How many treatments are necessary?
Typically 3 to 5 treatments are needed for
maximum results, though small lesions
may clear in just a single session. Repeat
treatments are spaced every 4 to 6 weeks.
Consultation Procedure
Prior to treatment you must first undergo a
consultation where details about your medical
history are obtained in order to confirm
suitability. Before proceeding you will be
asked to sign a consent form and undergo a
test patch.
