All fractional lasers resurfacing of skin is done as an outpatient procedure. The procedure is usually done in the physician’s office. After arrival, you will be made comfortable and safety goggles are worn during the procedure.
The current lasers are patient compliant and tolerated by most patients. The advanced cooling systems located at the tip of the laser prevent pain. However, those who are not able to tolerate any pain, the physician may apply a topical local anesthetic 10-20 minutes prior to the procedure.
The laser treatment lasts anywhere from 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. If the procedure is done well, there is minimal downtime and the side effects are mild.
