Question 1

Is facial resurfacing suitable for all skin types?

Accepted Answer

Facial resurfacing treatments are generally safe and effective for various skin types. However, the most appropriate treatment option may vary based on individual skin characteristics. LYLA’s experienced dermatologists will assess your skin during the consultation to determine the best treatment plan for your specific needs.

Question 2

Are facial resurfacing treatments painful?

Accepted Answer

The level of discomfort during facial resurfacing can vary depending on the type of treatment and individual pain tolerance. Many patients experience only mild discomfort, and topical numbing creams may be applied to enhance comfort during the procedure.

Question 3

How long does a facial resurfacing treatment session take?

Accepted Answer

The duration of a facial resurfacing session depends on the specific treatment and the areas being targeted. Treatments can typically range from 15 minutes to an hour. LYLA’s dermatologists will provide a precise estimate of treatment time during your consultation.

Question 4

Is there any downtime after facial resurfacing treatments?

Accepted Answer

Downtime can vary based on the intensity of the treatment. Some procedures, like microdermabrasion or superficial chemical peels, may have little to no downtime, while more aggressive treatments like fractional laser resurfacing may involve a few days of redness and peeling. The team will discuss the expected downtime for your chosen treatment during the consultation.

Question 5

How many sessions are needed for optimal results?

Accepted Answer

The number of sessions required will depend on the specific treatment, your skin condition, and your desired outcome. Some patients may achieve significant results with a single session, while others may benefit from a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. LYLA’s dermatologists will create a personalised treatment plan to achieve the best results for you.

Question 6

When will I see the results of facial resurfacing?

Accepted Answer

Results from facial resurfacing treatments are not immediate, as the skin needs time to heal and regenerate. Depending on the treatment, you may begin to notice improvements within a few days to several weeks after the procedure. Collagen remodelling and continued skin improvement can continue for several months after the treatment.
