Aftercare

Caring for your skin afterwards

Expect mild warmth or rednessA warming sensation or light redness for a few hours afterwards is normal and settles on its own.
Protect with SPFApply a broad-spectrum SPF daily and avoid deliberate sun tanning before and after treatment.
Avoid other actives for a few daysHold off on retinoids and strong exfoliants for a few days to let the skin settle.
Course of treatments for full effectCollagen renewal builds gradually, so a course of sessions is often recommended for the best result.
Stay hydratedDrinking enough water supports the skin's natural renewal process over the following weeks.

This is general guidance only. Your therapist will confirm aftercare specific to your skin during your consultation.

FAQs

Common questions

Is ND:YAG safe for darker skin tones?+

Most skins. Your therapist will confirm suitability at consultation.

Does the treatment hurt?+

Most clients feel a warming sensation as the laser passes over the skin, rather than pain. Settings are adjusted for your comfort.

How long does a session take?+

A typical session takes around 30 to 45 minutes, including a skin assessment beforehand.

How many sessions will I need?+

Collagen production builds over time, so a course of treatments spaced a few weeks apart is often recommended, which we'll map out at your consultation.

Is there any downtime?+

Downtime is minimal. Some mild redness or warmth can occur briefly, and most clients return to normal activities the same day.

Who should avoid this treatment?+

This treatment isn't suitable over recently tanned or sunburnt skin, active infection, or during pregnancy without medical clearance. We'll review your skin and medical history at consultation to confirm it's right for you.
