One to five treatments, one to two months apart. Most side effects generally are mild and of short duration. You may experience slight discomfort during the actual treatment. Redness appears immediately following treatment, lasting less than 24 hours in most people. Swelling is usually mild, but when large numbers of blood vessels are treated, swelling can be marked and last up to three days.
Most people can return to work the same or the following day.
Crusts forming where brown spots have been treated take 4-7days to peel off. Make up may be worn to conceal these. Post treatment pigmentation has been noted on occasion but is highly treatable and fortunately very rare. Make an appointment for a consultation with your dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Your doctor will determine if you are a candidate for this procedure.
