The facial begins with a microdermabrasion to open up the outer layer of skin tissue and exfoliate the skin. The Lam Probe treatment is very quick and may not even touch the skin, although it is often a little uncomfortable. Small skin tags or blood spots and broken capillaries disappear immediately and hyper pigmented areas take only a few minutes. There is minimal discomfort to the patient and healing time is short, from a day or two for skin tags to a few weeks for larger skin abnormalities such as fibromas. Some of the irregularities will dry up, crust over and fall of usually within 1 week. Hyper-pigmentation, or brown spots, immediately darken, will crust over and fall off on their own. Makeup can be worn to camouflage the treated areas during the healing time and the areas should be cared for lightly.
