Laser treatments are generally safe when performed by trained and qualified healthcare professionals like the dermatologists at the Beacon Dermatology clinic. However, there may be some risks and potential side effects associated with specific laser procedures, which will be discussed during your consultation.
The duration of a laser treatment session varies widely based on the type of laser, the area being treated, and the specific condition being addressed. Sessions can range from a few minutes to an hour.
Potential side effects of laser treatments can include redness, swelling, bruising, changes in pigmentation, scarring (rare), and in some cases, infection. The specific side effects depend on the type of laser and the treated area. These side effects often subside within a few days.
The number of sessions needed varies depending on the treatment, the condition being addressed, and individual factors. Some treatments require a single session, while others may require a series of sessions spaced over time.
Good candidates for laser treatment are typically in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and have discussed their specific condition and goals with a qualified healthcare provider.
The permanence of laser treatment results depends on the specific treatment and individual factors. Some treatments, like laser hair removal, can lead to long-lasting or permanent hair reduction, while others may require maintenance sessions.
Laser treatments can be performed on any adult over the age of 18, but suitability is determined by the specific treatment chosen and individual health factors.
After your laser treatment, it's essential to protect your skin from direct sunlight by wearing sunscreen with an SPF of at least 35, using protective clothing, and avoiding excessive sun exposure.
The safety of laser treatment for different skin types and tones depends on the type of laser used. Some lasers are better suited for specific skin types and may require adjustments to minimize risks.
