How Spectrum Laser Works

Spectrum Laser harnesses various laser wavelengths — including erbium:YAG for precise resurfacing and Nd:YAG for deeper collagen stimulation and vascular treatments. Each wavelength targets specific skin layers to remodel collagen, break down unwanted pigmentation, and coagulate vascular lesions. This flexibility allows providers to tailor treatment depth and energy to match your skin type and specific concerns, delivering optimal results with minimal risk.

Spectrum Laser effectively addresses a wide range of skin conditions, including:

Skin Resurfacing

Before Your Session

  • We’ll prepare your skin with a topical numbing cream applied 30–45 minutes before treatment to ensure comfort.
  • Protective eyewear will be provided during the session.

2

During Treatment

  • Your provider will guide you through the process: consultation → laser passes → optional cooling or soothing steps.
  • Expect a mild warmth or “prickling” sensation as the laser works on your skin.
  • Sessions typically last 30–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area and intensity.

Aftercare & Recovery

1

Immediately After

  • Mild redness, swelling, and possible micro-crusting or bronzing are normal.
  • Apply cooling masks or ice packs within the first 24 hours to minimize swelling.

2

Home Care

  • Use a gentle, non-foaming cleanser and a fragrance-free moisturizer.
  • Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily, reapplying every 2 hours.
  • Avoid rigorous activity, excessive heat, and direct sun exposure during the recovery phase.

Downtime

  • Expect 24–72 hours of redness and light swelling.
  • Most patients feel comfortable returning to work or social events within 2–3 days, often with light makeup.

Results & Maintenance

  • Initial improvements appear within 5–7 days as skin tone brightens.
  • Collagen continues to remodel over 2–3 months, with results lasting 1–2 years or more when maintained with proper skincare and occasional touch-up sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Spectrum Laser is FDA-cleared with a strong safety record. Temporary redness, swelling, and mild irritation are normal. Rarely, slight changes in skin pigmentation can occur if aftercare and sun protection aren’t followed.
