The procedure is very gentle and safe. For most of our patients, there is no need for a topical anesthetic, but it may be applied if they are sensitive to pain. Your eyes will be protected, and you’ll briefly feel a warm sensation and a “snap” as the light energy is emitted and absorbed by your skin. This is not considered a painful procedure and can leave you with an astonishing improvement in skin quality and tone. Your procedure may take as little as a few minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area and the type of procedure performed. We will discuss your options with you, including the benefits, risks, and expectations, with total transparency. Our clients rave about the improvements in skin quality they achieve with this world-class treatment!
