Myth #1: Laser Peels Are Painful
Many people believe that a laser peel causes pain. This is false.
Modern laser systems, such as the Fotona Laser used at BioHealth Aesthetics & Wellness, prioritize comfort above all else.
Here’s why laser peels are anything but painful:
- Numbing Cream: Applied before treatment for comfort.
- Customizable Settings: Adjusted to match your skin and pain tolerance.
- Brief Sessions: Typically under an hour.
With the right provider, such as Dr. Ilona, most patients experience only warmth or mild tingling.
Myth #2: Expect Weeks of Downtime
People fear hiding out for weeks after a laser peel. Thankfully, that’s rarely needed.
Here’s what’s more typical:
- Quick Recovery: Most people resume activities in 3-5 days.
- Mild Peeling: Some redness and flaking, but easily manageable.
- Simple Aftercare: Sunscreen and gentle moisturizers help skin heal fast.
Laser peels fit into busy schedules better than most expect.
Myth #3: Laser Peels Only Work for Severe Damage
Think laser peels are just for dramatic skin issues? That’s not true.
They improve many common concerns, like:
- Fine Lines: Softens early wrinkles.
- Sun Damage: Reduces spots and uneven tone.
- Texture Issues: Smooths rough patches for glowing skin.
Even mild concerns see great results with modern lasers.
Myth #4: Laser Peels Always Look Obvious
A good laser peel should never scream, “I had work done.” Subtle changes are the goal and are achieved with:
- Precision Technology: Targets flaws without harming nearby skin.
- Natural Finish: Leaves you looking refreshed, not overdone.
- Tailored Approach: Treatment customized for your features and skin type.
No one needs to know except you — and maybe your BioHealth provider!
Myth #5: All Laser Peels Are the Same
Not all laser peels use the same technology or expertise.
Consider these differences:
- Device Quality: Advanced lasers, such as those from Fotona, deliver safer and more reliable outcomes.
- Experience Matters: A skilled provider makes all the difference.
- Personalized Plans: One size does not fit all in aesthetics.
Choose a trusted specialist, like Dr. Fotek, for the best experience and results.
