Am I suitable for treatment?
Yes, the ideal patient is fair skinned but Lynton Lasers' systems
have pre-programmed settings to maximise results for different skin
types. If there are any areas of broken skin, treatment is delayed
until the area has completely healed.
How does the treatment feel?
No anesthesia is required and most patients describe the discomfort
as
moderate and acceptable and liken it to a quick pin prick.
What are the side effects?
The skin of some patients becomes quite red after treatment. However,
most patients experience no side effects and any skin reaction usually
disappears within a few hours.
What should I expect after the treatment?
Redness and a slight warming sensation are normal after treatment.
A cooling pack will be applied to the skin to ease these symptoms.
You may see a darkening of any pigmented spots before they fall
off, leading to an evening of skin tone. Tightening of the skin
should increase over a 24-hour period, building up with each treatment
and lasting between treatments. Some patients notice a slight swelling
over the cheekbones, which may last for up to 72 hours.
How many treatments are necessary?
Treatments are carried out every 2-3 weeks and 6 treatments are
recommended for maximum results. Thereafter top-up sessions are
performed as required.
How long does each treatment take?
A facial treatment, including a skin peel usually takes about 30-45
minutes.
