1. Is going through laser treatment painful?
Laser treatments can vary in terms of discomfort, largely depending on the type of laser being used. The newer generation lasers like Pico and multipulse are designed to minimise discomfort, thus they are nearly painless.
2. Is laser treatment dangerous? Could it lead to death?
Laser treatments are very safe. They are like sunlight, but more precise, allowing us to achieve targeted treatment effects. In a controlled clinical setting, the risks are minimal. There might be rare cases of serious complications, which usually are related to unusual circumstances. So, just make sure your laser treatments are administered by qualified doctors.
3. How many sessions you'll need to see results from laser treatment?
On average, you might need 3 to 5 sessions to see a noticeable improvement. However, the exact number will depend on factors like the specific condition you're treating and its severity. Remember, patience is key, as the full results might not be immediately apparent. It's common for the skin to continue improving even after the treatment sessions are complete.
4. How long is the downtime after laser treatment?
The downtime after a laser treatment depends on the type of laser used.
a) Pico / Multipulse Laser – Minimal to no downtime; able to get right back to daily activities
b) Yag laser – recover within 2-3 days; might experience some redness and mild discomfort
c) Carbon dioxide laser - longer recovery time, around 5 days ; might experience redness, swelling, and peeling
Do keep in mind that individual experiences can vary, and it's crucial to follow your doctor’s advice for the best results.
5. Will my skin become dry or sensitive after laser treatment?
In general, your skin might feel slightly sensitive and vulnerable immediately after laser treatment. This usually lasts around 2 to 3 days.
Therefore, it's advisable to avoid outdoor activities in the sun during this period to protect your skin. Strenuous exercises that make you sweat should also be temporarily avoided. Hydrating face mask and oral nutrient for skin is most welcome to nurture your skin.
6. I heard from my friend that the skin will become thin after laser treatment, is it true?
This is a myth. Our skin is a living tissue, and it naturally regenerates itself. As the old skin sheds and new skin grows from below, the thickness of your skin remains the same. So when you undergo laser treatment, it is actually stimulating your skin to renew itself faster.
7. Some said that once I try laser, the next pigmentation will become bigger, is it true?
This is a myth. Laser treatments are designed to gradually reduce pigmentation using light and heat. As we age, some pigmentation may naturally reappear. However, regular laser treatment can help prevent excessive pigmentation build-up. So even if you decide to stop laser treatment, the pigmentation left behind will typically be lesser, and you will not experience rebound.
8. Can I try laser treatment if I have eczema or sensitive skin?
If you've got eczema or sensitive skin, you can still opt for laser treatment. The key is to communicate openly with your doctor. For sensitive skin, treatments like Pico and multi-pulse lasers are often more suitable. These options are gentler and less likely to irritate your skin. Additionally, when dealing with sensitive skin, the timing between treatments should be well-planned to avoid overstimulating your skin.
9. Who should avoid laser treatment?
You should not go for laser treatment if you…
a) are with darker skin tone. Laser treatment can sometimes remove too much pigment, resulting in white spots that can be unsightly.
b) are someone with photosensitivity and you tend to develop redness on your skin when exposed to sunlight.
c) have recently recovered from a skin infection or inflammation. You should give your skin time to fully heal before considering laser treatment.
10. Is collagen booster injection same as dermal fillers?
Collagen booster injections, also known as Poly Nucleotides injections, work differently from dermal fillers. These injections don't add volume directly, like dermal fillers. As the name suggests, the goal is to boost collagen and improve your skin's firmness. Collagen helps to revitalise the skin so that when given the right nutrient and stimulant, the skin will improve faster.
11. After injecting collagen booster, will it look fake or plumped?
Collagen booster injections do not alter the contour of the face as what skin implant does or paralyse the facial muscles like botox treatment. Rather than making you look fake, collagen booster aims to rejuvenate your skin by stimulating collagen production, which naturally adds firmness and improves skin texture. The outcome is a refreshed, youthful appearance that maintains your facial uniqueness.
12. How long does the result of collagen booster injection last?
The results from collagen booster vary from person to person. It also depends on the specific product used. Combination with other injections will give better and lasting effect. Remember, collagen booster stimulates your body's natural collagen production. The effect is ongoing even after collagen treatment, therefore the outcome can last from several months to years.
13. How many sessions are required for a sustainable result?
The number of sessions required for a sustainable result with collagen booster can vary based on your goals and the product used. Combination with laser can enhance the results from just a few sessions. As every individual is unique, it's essential to consult with a licensed doctor who can create a personalised plan based on your goals and skin condition.
14. What skin issues can be improved with collagen booster injection?
The skin issues that can be addressed by collagen booster include:
a) Fine lines and wrinkles
b) Sagging skin
c) Droopy eye lids
d) Skin tone irregularities
e) Acne scars
f) Hollow areas on the face
g) Overall skin rejuvenation
