Do the treatments for Pigment Lasers hurt?
The light from the laser is emitted in pulses. Each pulse feels like someone has snapped an elastic band against the skin. Both children and adults vary in their level of pain tolerance.
How does the skin look and feel after a treatment?
After each pulse of the laser light the targeted skin is grey in appearance. There may be some superficial bleeding. Subsequent blistering and crusting is resolved as the top layer of the skin turns over. The length of time it takes for the crust to be sloughed depends on the depth of the pigment in the skin and the location of the lesion on the body. the pigment does not necessarily fade evenly, and several sessions may be required before all the pigment disappears.
Are the Pigment Removal Lasers safe?
Yes, there lasers are safe. Safety goggles must be worn by both the patient and the laser surgeon during the procedure to protect the eyes from the bright light.
