Each treatment takes approximately 30-40 minutes depending on the size of the area to be treated. The skin may appear red and flushed and tiny capillaries may appear more visible following a treatment. Brown spots will generally appear darker. All of these changes will gradually fade over time.

Each treatment takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes. A mild amount of discomfort can be expected. Many patients prefer to use ELA-MAX, a topical anesthetic cream available at our office. When ELA-MAX is used 30 to 60 minutes before treatment there is almost no discomfort. There is no discomfort after treatments. Immediately following a treatment, the skin may appear red and flushed and tiny capillaries may appear more visible. Brown spots generally appear darker. All of these changes gradually fade over a period of hours to a few days.
