The laser/IPL is a device that produces an intense but gentle burst of light.For hair, this light destroys hair follicles while the device’s handpiece cools the surrounding skin. Because the laser needs to fill the hair follicle to work effectively, it is important not to wax, tweeze, have electrolysis procedures, or pluck hair for 2-4 weeks prior to the procedure.For lesions, this light is absorbed by and causes selective heating of certain cells in the unwanted lesion. Lesions will usually fade over time as these destroyed cells are eliminated by normal body processes. My eyes will be covered with laser/IPL -specific safety eyewear to protect them from the intense light. My eyes will be closed and I will not attempt to remove the eye protection during treatment.
Anesthesia is usually not necessary. My provider or I may elect to use a form of topical anesthesia to reduce any discomfort during the procedure. A cryogen spray skin cooling device may be used during the procedure to decrease discomfort and protect the skin. All anesthesia options and risk will be discussed with me in advance.
