Baby Face Facial FAQs

 

How does it work?

The Baby Face Facial, uses the LaseMD Ultra™, a cutting-edge 1927nm fractional THULIUM laser, to create tiny microchannels in the skin while using a unique drug delivery system with an active which is tailored to your specific skin needs. The laser will stimulate collagen production and boost the skin’s natural healing process. This non-invasive treatment helps improve texture, tone, and overall skin health as well as addressing any skin concerns you may have.

What can I expect after treatment?

You may experience redness or warmth on the skin, similar to a mild sunburn. This is usually resolved within 24 hours. You may also notice mild flaking or peeling as your skin rejuvenates - this is completely normal and can be managed with a gentle moisturizer. To protect your skin, avoid sun exposure and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen throughout the healing process.
