It is preferred that you attend your appointment without makeup. This is to ensure the area can be properly cleansed and we are able to view any changes in the skin.

Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal after treatment and usually subsides within an hour. 

Over the next 24-48 hours you may see a darkening of pigmented spots; in the week afterwards the pigmented lesions flake off, leading to an evening out of skin tone. After treating vascular lesions you may see the vein blanch and disappear or a color change in the vessel which dissapates after a few days.An improved skin appearance can be noted after the first session and multiple sessions provide even better results. Treatment regime’s depend on the severity of skin damage, type of treatment (vascular vs sun damage) and energy settings. Sun damage and skin complexion results can be seen a few days after the first session. The skin will continue to look younger and more brilliant over time with most visible results after 1-2 weeks. Having multiple photofacial sessions will improve the final result. For vascular treatments such as spider or leg veins, results can be seen immediately in up to 2 weeks.

The areas being treated will be cleansed. It is best if you attend your appointment with no makeup. We will then apply a thin layer of Lidocaine around the face to temporarily numb the area. After 15 minutes, the Lidocaine will be removed and we will begin the procedure. It is often stated it feels like sandpaper rubbing against the skin. The procedure will take about 15 minutes to perform. 

After the procedure, your skin may be red and flushed for 48-72 hours like a mild sunburn. The first 72 hours you will experience some tightness and mild sensitivity. It is best to avoid any physical exercise that may cause you to sweat for 48 hours. This prevents bacteria from entering into the skin. Avoiding makeup for 24 hours is also recommended.

This will include any products containing alcohol or retinol. Dryness, redness and sensitivity may last 7-10 days
