Clients can expect to see smoother, clearer and younger looking skin after one treatment but, full results are seen after a series of three treatments are performed. Peak results are achieved three months after the last session.
Most clients receive 3-4 treatments per area. The exact number will depend on each individual person and the area being treated. We recommend maintenence treatments every six months or annually.
Treatments are performed every four weeks.
Luxe Laser skin resurfacing treatments with the Venus Versa use Nano-Fractional Radio Frequency™(RF) and SmartScan™ technology that’s safe for all complexions including higher Fitzpatrick skin types.
Make sure your skin is clean. Do not apply any lotions, creams, perfumes, powder, or makeup before your treatment session, and avoid tanning. Remove all jewelry around the area being treated. If you have noticable hair on the treatment area, shave it beforehand.
Refrain from any Advil, Aleve, and all non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) for one week prior to treatment as they contain blood thining properties which may increase adverse affects. Over the counter Tylenol (acetaminophen) is safe to consume.
We recommend a “dry heal” for 24 hours. No water or products are to be put on the skin. Your skin may be pink for the first 24 hours.
After 24 hours, you should apply sunscreen (at least SPF 30), preferably a physical sunblock not chemical. Also avoid rigorous exercise and hot baths or massages on the treatment area for the first 2 days after your session. Make sure to keep your skin clean and protected from the sun. Avoid any sort of tanning.
Edema (swelling) may occur, if this happens take OTC Benadryl. If swelling doesn’t resolve contact Luxe Laser at 503.303.3456.
In the rare case of an emergency seek medical attention.
Feels like tiny pins on your skin followed by a short zap of electricity. Your face will then feel warm, like a sunburn. Treatments may be slightly uncomfortable, but not painful. You’ll feel a spicy heat sensation, similar to the feeling of sunburn, and your face will look red right after the treatment.
Treatment typically only takes 15-30 minutes. For more aggressive treatments we will numb the treatment area beforehand.
