What are the cons of Laser Resurfacing?

There are very few cons about laser resurfacing other than the down time which is dependant on settings, the results are so worth it though (Down time can be from 2 – 7 days). With a thorough consultation there is a very low risk to Post inflammatory Pigmentation even on skin of colour. We perform a small patch on the area to assess how each clients skin responds. If pigmentation was to form it would only be temporary and it would be observed after the initial patch test. Laser resurfacing is suitable for all skin of colour, we have specific treatment settings to safely treat darker skin tones. If you are nervous about your first Laser Facial Treatment we can simply use gentle settings. There is also minimal risk to bacterial infections as the skin is not broken as with micro needling. If a client has a history of cold sores we would always advise a course of anti viral medications to give peace of mind and reduce any risk of a break out.
