FAQ
- Use broad-spectrum sunscreen once a day for four weeks before treatment to avoid tanning or heavy sun exposure.
- Four weeks before treatment, avoid deep facial peels (for example, laser resurfacing, strong chemical peels and dermabrasion).
- Do not use medications that cause photosensitivity for at least 72 hours before treatment (such as doxycycline, minocycline).
- Let your provider know if you have a history of herpes or shingles in the area of treatment and start your antiviral medication (valacyclovir, acyclovir) as prescribed (usually 2 days before treatment and for 3 days after treatment).
- Before laser resurfacing, your skin may need to be treated with a topical retinoid for about four weeks.
To prevent discomfort, a topical numbing cream is applied prior to treatment. Most patients describe the laser treatments as feeling like hot or warm pinches. Prior to treatment, some patients prefer to take an oral medication to help them relax. Certain sensitive areas can be numbed with injections of numbing medication, such as Novocain.
In the first four to twenty-four hours following treatment, patients generally feel like they have a sunburn in the treated areas. As needed, patients use ice packs and Tylenol or Ibuprofen to reduce swelling and provide comfort after treatments.
Taking care of your skin and overall health will help you maintain your treatment results. Your results can also last longer by limiting sun exposure and avoiding stress.
A number of our treatments are virtually painless, including the Harmony XL. For treatments that have any level of discomfort, we do our best to keep our patients very comfortable. We offer a full comfort menu ranging from topical numbing to ProNox to make sure our patients have the best experience possible while delivering amazing results.
This is completely patient-dependent. A series of 1-3 treatments are needed depending on the patient, and I recommend once yearly for maintenance.
