FAQs
What types of pigment can be treated?
Laser light treatment is appropriate for treating age spots, sun damage, and freckles on the face, neck, chest, arms, hands, legs, and feet. Your provider will tell you more about what can be achieved with Cynosure’s laser technology during your consultation.
What results can I expect after the treatment?
Patients can expect to see a decrease in the appearance of unwanted pigment in the treated area. However, results develop gradually after several sessions, so patience will be required.
How many treatments will I need?
Typically, only a few treatments are needed. However, this is dependant on the condition of your skin and several other factors. Your skin therapist will work with you to determine how many laser treatments are required in your unique case.
What can I expect to feel after the treatment?
Most patients will experience a sensation that’s similar to sunburn directly after their treatment and for a day or two thereafter. The treated area will also be pink or red in colour for up to eight hours. A cold compress can be used to alleviate any redness and swelling. Patients should avoid the application of makeup or creams for at least a day or until most of the redness and stinging has subsided. Your skin therapist will tell you what you need to know about possible side effects during your consultation. You will also receive specific aftercare instructions that will help you achieve the best results.
