Frequently asked questions
Anaesthetic cream and premedication significantly reduce discomfort. A sensation of intense heat during the procedure is normal.
Crusts or light scabs may appear during the first week: this is entirely normal and part of the healing process. The skin then continues to remodel for 3 to 6 months. The final result is visible at 6 months, with continuous improvement in texture and firmness.
The CO2 laser is not recommended during the sunny months. Avoiding sun exposure is compulsory in the first few weeks. Treatments are carried out between October and May.
