Pores & skin texture

Assessing both the skin surface and structure

Scar depth and distribution, sebum production and sensitivity are assessed before discussing the suitability of lasers or other methods. Treatment intervals and recovery plans are decided after examination.

Before treatment

Confirm the treatment goal, product or device, area, cost and recovery plan. Tell the clinician about medications, underlying conditions, allergies and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Recovery and possible side effects

Redness, swelling, stinging, pigment changes or infection may occur. Reduce irritation during recovery and follow the care instructions provided.

Contact the treating medical facility for severe pain or unexpected symptoms. Individual results and recovery times may vary.
