Before & After
Frequently asked questions
What can I expect during & after treatment?
During a MicroLaser Facial, you can expect a comfortable and personalized experience tailored to your specific skin concerns. The procedure begins with a thorough assessment of your skin, followed by the application of Dr. Small’s advanced 1064nm laser. This laser gently targets unwanted pigmentation while stimulating collagen remodeling deep within the skin. The sensation during the treatment may feel like a warming or tingling on the skin’s surface. However, it’s generally well-tolerated, thanks to the precision of the laser and the care of Dr. Small. Depending on your skin’s needs, an esthetician may also apply prescription-grade products to enhance the results further.
After the treatment, you can expect some mild redness, similar to a light sunburn, which typically subsides within a few hours to a day. Over the next several days, you may notice your skin beginning to shed or flake as the outermost layer of dead skin cells is naturally exfoliated. This is a sign that the treatment is working to reveal fresher, clearer skin underneath. Improvements in texture, tone, and pigmentation continue to emerge as your skin heals and collagen production increases. Results vary based on individual skin needs, but patients often see a smoother, brighter complexion, reduced pore size, and diminished fine lines and pigmentation within a few weeks. To maintain optimal results, follow-up treatments and a proper skincare regimen are recommended.
How many treatments will I need?
The results from MicroLaser Facial will improve with additional treatment sessions. Therefore, we typically recommend a series of six treatments at monthly intervals to achieve the best results. Combining laser treatments with medical skin care will penetrate deeper into the skin and optimize results. Each treatment plan is specially customized for each individual to address specific concerns.
When will I see results? How long does it last?
You may notice results between 6-12 months. With regularly scheduled maintenance treatments, you can expect your results to last even longer.
