What to Expect During and After Your First Laser Treatment

Laser treatments are the latest and greatest in minimally invasive skin rejuvenation. They deliver powerful results with little to no downtime. Versatile and well tolerated by most people and skin types, laser skin treatments can help address wrinkles, fine lines, discoloration, and other common skin concerns. 

If you’re new to laser skin rejuvenation, trust our skin laser expert, Dr. Nita Patel. As a double board-certified dermatologist and laser specialist with more than 35 years of experience treating a wide array of skin conditions and cosmetic concerns, she is dedicated to helping her patients achieve radiant, youthful-looking skin with personalized treatment plans tailored to their unique needs.

Here’s what you can expect during and after your first laser treatment.

What to Expect During Laser Skin Treatment

During your first laser skin rejuvenation session, Dr. Nita Patel will begin by assessing your skin type, concerns, and treatment goals. She’ll explain the laser technology used and discuss the specifics of your customized treatment plan. Typically, the treatment involves applying a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. Once your skin is prepared, the laser device is gently passed over targeted areas, delivering precise bursts of light energy to the skin’s deeper layers.

This energy works by stimulating collagen production and encouraging cellular turnover, which can smooth fine lines, reduce hyperpigmentation, and improve skin texture. You may feel a warm sensation or mild tingling as the laser is applied, but discomfort is usually minimal. Treatments can last between 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.

What to Expect After Laser Skin Treatment

Immediately following the treatment, mild redness or a sunburn-like sensation is normal, and it generally subsides within a few hours to a few days. Dr. Patel will provide you with specific aftercare instructions, including applying a gentle moisturizer, avoiding direct sun exposure, and using a high-SPF sunscreen to protect your skin.

Results from laser skin rejuvenation are gradual, with improvements in texture, tone, and firmness becoming more apparent over several weeks as collagen production increases. Many patients notice a visible glow within days, and their skin continues to improve with each session.
