How long will it take to recover?
This is a non-invasive and gentle procedure with virtually no down-time. In most cases you will be able to return to work, apply makeup, and resume most of your activities right away. Brown spots will peel off in 7 days.
Broken blood vessels if small will just disappear
What should I expect after the treatment?
You may experience some redness that should resolve within a few hours. For some pigmented lesions you will see a darkening of the treated areas followed by fading and flaking off at a later stage, usually one week. Your treated skin will feel smoother, fine wrinkles and pores will be less noticeable, and sun spots or uneven pigmentation will fade.
If broken blood vessels are being treated you may have slight bruising or purple discoloration for 2-3 days

Will it be uncomfortable?
The procedure is non-invasive, and safe. The treatment feels like the snap of a rubber band and afterward like a sunburn for 30 minutes.
What will happen during the procedure?
Your eyes will be protected with safety shields or glasses. You may briefly feel a rubber band snap or warm sensation as the light is absorbed by the targeted areas. Your procedure may take a few minutes to half an hour depending on the size of the area to be treated and the type of the procedure performed.
What aftercare do I need?
You will be sensitive to ultra-violet light and you must avoid direct sun exposure until fully healed. Use a 30 spf sun screen whenever you go outdoors for the next 7-10 days and afterward to maintain your results.
