Follow our essential guidelines and keep yourself safe and healthy during any laser or light treatment.
1. Choose a doctor who has extensive experience using a variety of lasers, so he or she can recommend the one that's best for you. Brand names like Fraxel or Thermage are often recommended but you should still do lots of research.
2. Don't ask your doctor for a specific laser. Rather, explain what you'd like to address, and let your doctor offer the solutions.
3. Never undergo a laser treatment if you have a tan—whether it's from the sun or from a bottle. The laser light is attracted to pigment in the skin, so if your skin is dark, there's more of a risk that there might be complications.
4. Make sure you are seeing a registered doctor with the right qualifications.
5. Have realistic expectations. While lasers and other energy-based treatments can be beneficial, they cannot address all your beauty issue.
