Frequently Asked Questions

Are laser treatments painful?+
Most patients describe laser treatments as tolerable, with sensations ranging from a warm snapping feeling to mild heat. Comfort levels depend on the specific laser, treatment area, and individual pain tolerance. We use topical numbing cream, cooling devices, and other comfort measures to minimize discomfort. Denise will discuss what to expect for your specific treatment during your consultation.
How many laser treatment sessions will I need?+
The number of sessions varies significantly depending on the treatment type and your goals. IPL photofacials typically require three to five sessions. Laser hair removal generally needs six to eight sessions for optimal results. Tattoo removal may require multiple sessions over several months. During your consultation, Denise will provide a realistic treatment plan with expected session counts and timelines.
What is the downtime after laser treatments?+
Downtime varies by treatment. IPL photofacials may cause temporary redness and darkening of pigmented spots for three to seven days. Laser resurfacing can involve several days to a week of healing with redness and peeling. Laser hair removal typically requires no downtime. Denise will provide detailed pre- and post-treatment instructions so you can plan accordingly.
Are laser treatments safe for darker skin tones?+
Safety for darker skin tones depends on the specific laser being used. Some lasers carry a higher risk of hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation in darker skin. At Spirit Dermatology, Denise selects the appropriate laser technology and settings for your specific skin type to minimize risk and optimize results. During your consultation, she will evaluate your skin and recommend the safest, most effective approach for you.
Can laser treatments be combined with other procedures?+
Yes — in many cases, combining laser treatments with other services such as injectables, chemical peels, or medical-grade skincare produces the best overall results. For example, laser resurfacing paired with neuromodulators and a custom skincare regimen can address texture, tone, lines, and overall skin quality simultaneously. Denise will design a comprehensive treatment plan that combines modalities strategically for optimal outcomes.
