Laser Facial Pre & Post Care Instructions

A laser facial delivers controlled energy to support pigment response and collagen stimulation. Stable, protected skin helps make treatment safer and more predictable.

Quick note

Downtime is minimal for most patients. Mild redness, warmth, or slight swelling can happen and usually resolves within several hours.
