Is there any down time?
Depending on your skin concerns will determine the outcome with your down time. For the first few hours of your treatment, you will feel a slight sting, some heat and some redness. Within 24hrs this does calm down and turns more into a rough texture. This can last from 3-10 days depending on severity of treatment You can return to wearing makeup after 48rs but skin will still feel dry. Hydration is key with this treatment.
Is it painful?

No saunas /steam rooms/ excessive heat or exercise for 72hrs

What are the post treatment guidelines?
Do not apply anything on to the skin for 2 to 3 hours.

Why choose LaseMD?
LaseMD is FDA-cleared for a wide variety of skin concerns.
Because it leaves the surface layer of skin intact, downtime is minimal, and the risk of side effects (beyond a few days of redness and dry skin) is low. This makes it an especially good option for younger patients who aren’t ready for a more intense laser treatment
Your RÖ SKIN Specialist will customise the intensity of the treatment to your skin type, tone, and concerns.
You may experience tingling during the treatment, but your provider will first apply a numbing cream to minimize discomfort.
It can be used anywhere on the body that has sun damage or signs of ageing.
