AEON Total Clarity Laser Program

Due to it being a NON-ABLATIVE laser done at lower intensities, there is minimum to no downtime.

You may experience some redness, especially in pore areas that are treated, which should be resolved within a few hours, but there is no requirement for you to stay indoors or avoid cosmetic application afterwards. (Again, this is a NON-invasive treatment so no needles, no blood, no crusting after the treatment.)

You may return to work, apply makeup, and resume most of your activities (Although, please try to avoid exercise 1-2 days before and after the treatment). Do note, however, that it is advised to avoid excessive, prolonged sun exposure 2-3 weeks before and after the treatment.

There is no special aftercare needed in terms of topical applications. The most important thing to avoid is UV radiation from sun exposure, especially immediately after the procedure. Even weeks or months after the procedure, it is advised to avoid excessive, prolonged sun exposure even with sunblock applied. Depending on your skin condition and sun exposure, you may develop darker pigmentations in the treatment areas. You are advised to apply sunblock every 1-2 hours when outdoors and avoid outdoor exposure especially during the peak sunlight hours of the day.

Treating pigmentation is a gradual process that requires multiple sessions and efforts to produce effective and long-lasting results. The number of sessions required depends on various factors including the severity of your pigmentation. Our doctor will advise you more on the treatment course that is right for your skin condition during the consultation. Typically, it takes between 6-10 treatments for the lightening results to be more obvious assuming that your skin is protected from extensive UV radiation and that the treatment is done at recommended intervals. Once your treatment goals are met, CT can be done on monthly intervals for maintenance purposes.

Due to the type of laser and the settings used for laser toning, it is one of the mildest laser treatments that can be done in a clinical setting. As with any procedure, there is always a risk of skin irritation which can lead to itchiness, redness, or mild swelling after the laser. Prolonged sun exposure may lead to darkening of the pigmentation and “rebound” or darkening of the pigmentations is more possible when used to treat conditions like melasma.
