Laser resurfacing offers more dramatic results than non-ablative treatments, but it comes with a greater chance of side effects, including redness, swelling, itching, and discomfort. We minimize side effects through our pre-treatment and post-treatment care plans.
Our Laser Treatment Process
Smart Skin Med Spa in Hoover, AL, offers men and women transformative skin rejuvenation treatments, including ablative laser resurfacing.
Step 1:
A 30-minute consultation with an experienced provider at our clinic precedes your first laser resurfacing treatment. We use this time to assess your candidacy for our different treatment options to ensure you receive services that align with your individual needs and goals.
Before suggesting a treatment, we review your medical history, goals, recovery time availability, and budget.
Step 2:
To determine your eligibility for a laser treatment, your provider will examine the treatment area, considering your skin type and concerns to plan for potential outcomes. You and your provider will collaborate to create a tailored treatment plan outlining your goals and recovery timeline.
To help you heal well and achieve the best results, we also give you pre-procedure instructions.
Step 3:
During your procedure, your provider numbs the treatment area before using a high-powered, light-emitting device to resurface your skin.
Treatment can last anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the area’s size. After the procedure, your specialist applies a regenerative ointment to protect the area and support healing.
Step 4:
For optimal results, follow the aftercare instructions provided. You may need 3 or more days of recovery before returning to your usual activities.
After several weeks, depending on your goals, we may recommend you schedule a follow-up laser treatment to maximize your results.
