Do laser treatments hurt?

Book Consultation Pricing By Treatment

Most laser treatments are well tolerated and involve only mild, temporary sensations. Depending on the technology, you may feel gentle warmth, a quick snapping sensation, or light pressure as the laser energy is delivered. Treatments like the Instant Glow Laser Facial and IPL Photofacial are generally very comfortable, while modalities that reach deeper layers--such as Clear + Brilliant® or laser hair removal--may create more noticeable but brief sensations. Your clinician will guide you through each step, adjust settings to your comfort level, and ensure the treatment feels safe, controlled, and manageable from start to finish.

Do any treatments require numbing?

Some lasers that target deeper layers of the skin may benefit from topical numbing, which your clinician can provide if appropriate.

Will my skin feel sensitive afterward?

It can. Temporary redness, warmth, or mild sensitivity is common after many laser treatments and typically fades within a few hours to a couple of days depending on the modality.

Can I choose gentler options if I'm sensitive?

Yes. LaserAway offers a range of treatment intensities, and your Treatment Specialist can recommend gentler modalities that still deliver meaningful results during your free consultation.
