What to Expect
From consultation to visible results, here is what to expect at each step of your laser and light treatment.
- Consultation – A full skin evaluation and photo review. We discuss goals, downtime, and create a custom plan.
- During Treatment – Skin is cleansed. Protective eyewear is used for all device treatments. Comfort measures and topical numbing are provided when appropriate.
- Aftercare – You receive clear pre and post instructions. Expect temporary redness or warmth for many treatments. Fractionated CO2 has a more visible recovery with peeling that resolves over several days.
- Results Timeline – Some improvements are visible within days. Collagen support continues to develop for weeks as tone and texture refine.
Our team will guide you through every stage with clear instructions and support so you feel comfortable as your skin renews.

Laser Treatment FAQs
Which treatment is right for me?
Your plan depends on your skin type, concerns, and downtime preferences. At Balikian Plastic Surgery, your provider will recommend the device or combination that best fits your goals.
How many sessions will I need?
Some patients see improvement after one session. Pigment, redness, and acne often need a short series of 3 to 4 visits spaced 3 to 6 weeks apart. Maintenance keeps results steady.
Is there downtime?
BBL and SkinTyte have little to no downtime. SylfirmX RF Microneedling may cause pinkness for 1 to 3 days. Fractionated CO2 has a visible recovery that can last 5 to 10 days.
Do treatments hurt?
Most are very tolerable. We use cooling and topical numbing when appropriate and adjust settings for comfort.
When will I see results?
Brightening and clarity can appear within days. Collagen support builds over several weeks, with improvements continuing up to 12 weeks.
Are these treatments safe for my skin tone?
Yes. We tailor settings and choose devices that are appropriate for your skin. Some lasers require extra caution on deeper skin tones. Your consultation will cover safety and options.
Can I combine treatments in one visit?
Yes. Many patients pair therapies for stronger results, such as Halo with BBL or SylfirmX with BBL. Your provider will plan safe sequencing.
How should I prepare?
Avoid tanning and self-tanner for 2 to 4 weeks. Pause retinoids 3 to 5 days before light treatments and 7 to 10 days before CO2. Come with clean skin. Tell us about photosensitizing medications.
What does aftercare involve?
Use gentle cleanser and high SPF daily. Skip hot workouts and saunas for 24 to 48 hours. Do not pick or scrub. CO2 requires ointment, sun avoidance, and specific care instructions.
How long do results last?
Results vary by treatment and lifestyle. Pigment and redness can return with sun. Many patients schedule maintenance 1 to 2 times per year. Your Balikian provider will outline a simple plan.
