1. Does it hurt?

The glass filter in contact with your skin is pre-cooled, which minimises discomfort. However, there is some discomfort experienced during each flash of the Laser/IPL likened to the sensation of an elastic band being snapped against the skin. This sensation is brief, and the treated skin is immediately cooled, which removes any feelings of discomfort.

2. How long does a treatment last?

An average treatment would take 10-15 minutes to complete. Larger areas i.e. leg veins may take longer

3. How many treatments would I need to have?

Usually no more than 2-3 treatments are necessary to get good results. We provide the 4th treatment at our expense. There is improvement after each treatment, so you can stop when you are happy.

4. Are there any side effects to treatments

There can be transient reddening of the skin immediately after treatment, which settles with cooling. The target areas ie sun damage/pigment/veins will darken initially, then resolve over the next 2 weeks, when improvement will be noted. Treatments usually take place about 3-4 weeks apart. It is essential with Laser/IPL treatment that the skin is untanned during the period of treatment.
