What To Expect With Laser Skin Revitalization
If you want a beautiful complexion and a non-invasive treatment then lasers are the best option. Here’s everything you need to know about the laser treatment process.
Picosure Laser
Picosure is an innovative laser that sends short pulses to encourage the growth of elastin and collagen.
Healing Time
Because this isn’t an invasive procedure a treatment will typically only cause redness and swelling for a few hours. After treatment you can continue your normal routine.
The Cost of Picosure
The price is subject to change based on the location you choose and how much treatment you need for your skins needs. For the four treatments generally recommended its around $440.
Revlite Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser
The Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser has recent technology that makes it 60% more powerful to treat issues with pigmentation, acne scars, and vascular lesions. It’s a non-ablative laser that will leave you with beautiful skin.
Healing Time
Like Picosure you can resume you normal activities immediately.
Will It Be Painful?
Generally, it doesn’t cause pain but it may cause some discomfort when being applied.
The Cost of Revlite Q-switched Nd:YAG laser
Again every laser will vary on price based on the place you decide to get your treatment, but it is usually cheaper than Picosure. It can be anywhere from $150 to $400.
What Are the Best Products to Use After A Laser Treatment?
Day 1: Apply cold pack and Vaseline
Day 2-5: Continue with cold packs and Vaseline while also implementing. Add showering twice a day while lightly cleansing your face with Cetaphil.
Day 5-7: All treated areas should continue to be treated with Cetaphil. Switch from moisturizing with Vaseline to using Cetaphil moisturizer. It is key to stay out of the sun during this time.
Day 7-14: While continuing your daily cleansing and moisturizing you can begin using makeup if skin isn’t crusting. By day 14 begin using sunscreen, but try to remain out of the sun
