Depending on the person, the pain level of laser facial treatment can cause some discomfort. Some patients compare the feeling during laser treatments to a rubber band snapping against the skin. However, most patients do not describe laser treatments as painful. It’s normal to experience a mild stinging or pinching. Our doctors will administer an anesthetic to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Most itching, swelling, or burning symptoms will subside as the skin heals.
