How it works
It's enough heat put into the skin that tells the body that this is
not normal. This then triggers your Fibre Blasts which are your repair
mechanisms of the skin. They are the pre-cursers to collagen repair.
Your body is being tricked into repairing and remodelling - Elastin
tightens, skin shrinks.
Takes 90 days before you see full results. That's how long it takes
the collagen to repair.
Amount of sessions due upon consultation.
Sessions can be done every 30 days up to 4 sessions if needed.
I suggest one session, then wait the 90 days to see the results. Then
decide on how many more you may want or need.
How does the laser treatment work?
The laser creates a beam of high-intensity light that penetrates deeply
into the skin tissue, where it delivers a controlled amount of targeted
therapeutic heat. Candela's patented Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD™)
technology protects the upper layers of your skin with a cooling burst
of cryogen. Together, the long-pulse laser and DCD™ cooling offer
optimal treatment with minimal side effects.
What can I expect during treatment?
Treatment will take place in your practitioner's office. You will wear
safety eyewear to protect your eyes from the laser light. Your practitioner
will guide the laser to the treatment areas with a small hand piece.
Each laser pulse may be preceded and followed by a short pulse of cooling
spray. A treatment could take as a few minutes to as long as an hour,
depending of the area and condition being treated.
Does it hurt?
Some patients may feel a slight discomfort with each laser pulse, sometimes
described as the snapping of a rubber band on the skin. This discomfort
resolves in several seconds and is minimized by Candela's DCD™
cooling. For some patients, a topical anesthetic may be used prior to
treatment. Be sure to discuss this with your practitioner.
How many treatment sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on the treatment you require and the
condition of your skin. Many factors impact the efficacy of individual
laser treatments, including the severity of the condition being treated.
How do I prepare for treatment?
If you have had a history of perioral herpes, prophylactic antiviral
therapy may be prescribed. Your skin should be thoroughly cleansed and
dried, removing any makeup, creams, oils, topical anesthetics or self-tanning
products before laser treatment. The intended treatment area should
not be exposed to sunlight or tanning booth light for 14 days prior
to treatment.
What can I expect after treatment?
Some redness or swelling may appear and should resolve within a few
hours.
What precautions should I take after treatment?
After laser treatment, prevent sun exposure by applying sun block (SPF
30 or above). In the first few days after treatment, don't scrub or
rinse the treated areas with abrasive skin cleansers. Your practitioner
may advise additional precautions.
Are there side effects?
Your risks are minimal. Side effects may include redness, swelling,
hyper pigmentation, hypo pigmentation, blistering and purpura (a laser
bruise) in the treated area-these usually do not last more than a few
days. Permanent side effects are rare. Be sure to discuss potential
side effects with your practitioner.
Are these treatments covered by insurance?
Most insurance companies do not offer reimbursement for cosmetic procedures.
Consult your insurance carrier for conclusive information.
