Laser Facial Rejuvenation
Overview
Why it's done
- Improve skin tone: Laser facial rejuvenation targets uneven skin tone, including areas affected by pigmentation irregularities.
- Enhance skin texture: By stimulating collagen production, it helps to smoothen out rough patches and improve overall texture.

How do I get ready for Laser Facial Rejuvenation Treatment ?
Consultation: Schedule a consultation with a qualified dermatologist or aesthetician to discuss your goals, medical history, and any concerns you may have regarding the procedure.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Minimize sun exposure and use broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher regularly, as sunburned or tanned skin can increase the risk of complications and affect treatment effectiveness.
Discontinue Certain Medications: Some medications and supplements, such as blood thinners or retinoids, may need to be temporarily discontinued prior to treatment to reduce the risk of adverse effects. Follow your provider’s instructions closely.
Skincare Regimen: Follow any specific skincare instructions provided by your provider, which may include using gentle cleansers and moisturizers and avoiding harsh exfoliants or active ingredients in the days leading up to your treatment.
Shave Treatment Area: If applicable, shave the treatment area the day before your appointment to ensure the laser can target the hair follicles effectively.
Avoid Certain Procedures: Refrain from undergoing other facial treatments, such as chemical peels or waxing, in the weeks leading up to your laser treatment to minimize irritation and potential complications.
Arrive Clean: Arrive at your appointment with clean skin, free from makeup, lotions, or skincare products to ensure optimal treatment results.
Plan for Downtime: While laser facial rejuvenation typically requires minimal downtime, it’s a good idea to plan for any potential side effects, such as temporary redness or swelling, and avoid scheduling important events immediately following your treatment.
Hydrate and Rest: Stay hydrated and get plenty of rest in the days leading up to your appointment to promote skin health and recovery.
