Mistakes to Avoid When Choosing a Laser Treatment
Hi everyone,
I’m so excited to share this month’s update and my very first blog post! November feels like the perfect time to talk about laser treatments, especially as we celebrate the arrival of our latest technology: Vasculaze by InMode.
As key opinion leaders for both of our existing laser platforms, education has always been at the heart of what we do at Le Formulaire. We want every patient to feel confident, informed, and empowered to make the right choice for their skin.
Here are a few important things to keep in mind before your next laser treatment:
1. Know What’s Safe for Your Skin Type
Not every laser is suitable for every skin tone. Our LaseMD Ultra is one of the safest and most versatile lasers available, offering incredible rejuvenation benefits, from improving skin texture and pigmentation to stimulating collagen, with minimal downtime and suitable for a wide range of skin types.
2. Be Cautious if You Have Melasma
If you struggle with melasma, choosing the wrong laser can make pigmentation worse. It’s essential to consult with a practitioner experienced in treating this condition safely to avoid triggering flare-ups and to achieve the best long-term results.
3. Ensure Your Practitioner Is Qualified
Your skin is too important to risk with inexperienced hands. Always make sure your treatment is performed by a qualified and experienced clinician who understands how to tailor energy settings to your individual needs and skin type. Continuity with your practitioner is hugely beneficial for not only building trust, but allowing us to really work together to get the best results for you.
4. Ask About the Technology
Not all “lasers” are created equal! Understanding which technology your clinic uses, and why, can help you feel more confident about your treatment. At Le Formulaire, we use medical-grade, evidence-based platforms because safety and results come first.
5. Prepare Properly for Your Laser Session
Your results start with preparation. Avoid sun exposure, fake tan, and active skincare (like retinol or exfoliants) before your session. Following pre-care advice helps protect your skin and ensures a smoother recovery. But don’t worry, we will discuss this with you, and are here to guide you step by step.
6. Care for Your Skin After Treatment
Post-laser care is just as important as the treatment itself. Keep your skin hydrated, avoid heat and direct sunlight, and use SPF daily. Proper aftercare enhances your results and keeps your skin glowing longer.
