The most frequently asked questions

These mostly concern:

• The danger associated with the laser on the skin.
No cancerous effect has been attributed to the laser to this date.

• Burns
A treatment that is poorly executed can cause burns, although these are very rare with this type of laser and cooler, occurring more frequently with the Flash Lamp (IPL) pseudo-lasers.
In general, these problems occur due to a poor appraisal of the degree of tanning of the skin, which is often down-played or even denied by the patient.
These incidents result in a temporary over-pigmentation with darker skins, and in a temporary under-pigmentation with lighter skins.

• Pain
which is felt to a varying degree depending on the sensitivity of each patient, also depends on the area being treated, as well as the power of the laser burst, tiredness, fear, etc. The cold pulses of air make the pain very bearable, but it can be reduced to a minimum in various ways: anaesthetising cream, sedatives, analgesics in tablet or injection form.
