Are skin imperfections dangerous?

No. Skin imperfections are benign skin lesions and generally pose no health risk.

Does the treatment hurt?

Most clients experience only a brief tingling or warm sensation during the treatment. The treatment is generally well tolerated.

Will I be left with a scar?

With small skin imperfections, the risk of visible scarring is low. As with any skin treatment, the skin may temporarily discolor during the healing process.

How long does the recovery take?

After the treatment, a small scab usually forms. This generally falls off on its own within one to two weeks.

Can skin imperfections return?

A removed skin lesion usually does not recur in the same location. However, new fibromas or cherry angiomas may develop in other places in the future.

How do I know which skin condition I have?

During a consultation, we assess the skin lesion. If you are unsure about the nature of a skin lesion, or if it has recently changed in shape, color, or size, we always advise contacting a doctor first.
