Important Considerations

Laser treatments are a fantastic way to achieve smoother, healthier skin, but it’s important to remember that each person's skin reacts differently. You may experience redness, swelling, or rough skin post-treatment, and the healing time will vary depending on the procedure and your skin’s unique response.

If you have any concerns about your skin's healing process, please email photos to Katie at katie@evenesthetics.com. She will guide you through the process and ensure everything is progressing as expected. Everyone’s skin heals at its own pace, so it’s perfectly normal for results to look different from person to person. Make sure to give yourself enough downtime for recovery based on the treatment you choose!
