How Patients Will Know If They Need Laser Skin Treatment
This treatment is recommended for patients with rosacea, broken blood vessels, facial spider veins, hyperpigmentation or redness in the face. It works for virtually all skin varieties. Still, it’s important to call Dr. de Ramón to schedule a consultation to evaluate the skin and determine whether NewSurg KTP will be the most effective treatment for the condition.
How Long Does a Typical KTP Laser Treatment Session Take?
A full-face treatment session takes about 30 minutes. Smaller areas can be treated in 15 minutes or less. After patients are approved as candidates for the NewSurg KTP treatment, they can have their first session on the same day. But for larger areas, Dr. de Ramón recommends a topical numbing cream which is applied for one hour before the treatment. Therefore, most patients are scheduled to return for their treatments. The total number of sessions patients need to treat their skin varies depending on the severity of their condition. Most patients need only two to three treatment sessions, but some will benefit from up to six.
What Should Patients Expect During a NewSurg KTP Laser Treatment?
This procedure is non-invasive and non-surgical, so there will be no incisions or injected anesthesia. Most patients prefer to have a topical anesthetic cream applied for comfort during the treatment. Any redness after the procedure can be treated with a topical skin balm and covered by makeup, and most patients are no longer red within 48 hours. Dr. de Ramón focuses the laser beam on the affected area using a small tool that resembles a pen. Patients may feel a little stinging sensation, which will be cooled down with a gel or ice. Daily activities can be resumed immediately following the procedure.
After treatment, patients should avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and be careful to put on sunscreen.
