After the treatment you may experience pain for about 2-3 hours similar to the effects of a mild burn. You can take a painkiller but not an anti-inflammatory tablet, e.g. Apap, which will minimise these sensations. Your skin will be reddened and stretched after fractional laser treatment. Sometimes swelling may occur. It is very important that you change to a fresh pillowcase on your pillow and use new or disinfected brushes for make-up. Also change to a fresh face towel.

Depending on the intensity of the laser power, the erythema on the face disappears between one and five days. Thereafter, the skin colour takes on a natural tone. During this time, make-up can be applied and you can return to your daily activities.
