A consultation prior to the procedure is necessary to eliminate any contraindications, define the results and explain the instructions to be followed before and after the session.
Before the laser session
Patients are asked to avoid exfoliating the skin for three weeks prior to the session. The skin must not be tanned and self-tanners must be stopped two weeks beforehand.
The anaesthetic cream prescribed by the doctor will be applied one hour beforehand.
The laser session
Laser treatment is painless. The eyes are protected by glasses or hulls. The laser beam is swept over the entire area to be treated. Depending on the desired result and the type of skin, Dr Romano defines the most appropriate parameters: the diameter of the spot, the amount of heat, the energy delivered, the rate at which the beam is superimposed, etc.
The treatment is tailor-made.
At the end of the session, a healing cream is applied.
After the laser session
Dr Romano recommends applying the healing cream continuously for two days and then twice a day for ten days.
It is important to avoid :
Immediately after the procedure, patients experience a sensation of heat similar to sunburn, as well as tightness and itching. Within a few days, everything is back to normal.
The skin is red and slightly swollen. Scaling and a brown colour appear the day after the procedure and last a few days.
Depending on the parameters used, individual sensitivity and the indication being treated, Dr Romano recommends between three and seven days' rest after the treatment.
Laser peeling gives remarkable results in improving skin quality.
A single laser peel gives the same results as four chemical peels or light dermabrasions.
As an initial treatment, it is advisable to carry out two or three sessions spaced two months apart. An annual maintenance session is recommended to maintain the results.
