Common Questions
Frequently Asked
Is laser treatment safe for Filipino skin?
Yes, when performed by trained dermatologists with proper device selection. Filipino skin has higher melanin content, which requires specific wavelengths, lower fluences, and longer pulse durations to prevent burns and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. At AUREA BGC, every client receives a test spot and comprehensive skin assessment before full treatment.
What does laser treatment do for the skin?
Laser treatments at AUREA BGC address multiple concerns: pigment removal (sun spots, melasma), skin resurfacing (texture, scars, fine lines), vascular lesions (redness, broken capillaries), and hair removal. Different laser wavelengths target different chromophores - pigment, water, or hemoglobin - allowing precise treatment of specific concerns.
How many laser sessions do I need?
Session requirements vary by concern: pigmented lesions (1-3), melasma (4-6), acne scars (3-5), hair removal (6-8), vascular lesions (2-4). AUREA BGC provides realistic session estimates during consultation and photographs progress to demonstrate improvement.
What is the downtime after laser treatment?
Downtime depends on laser type. Pigment lasers have minimal downtime (24-48 hours of redness). Fractional resurfacing requires 3-7 days of social downtime. Hair removal has virtually no downtime. Your AUREA BGC dermatologist will explain expected recovery before scheduling.
Can laser worsen melasma?
Incorrect laser selection or parameters can worsen melasma through heat-triggered inflammation. This is why AUREA BGC uses Pico Laser specifically for melasma - its picosecond pulse minimizes heat transfer. We also perform test spots and use cooling technology. Dermatologist oversight is essential for safe melasma treatment.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Modern laser hair removal is significantly more comfortable than earlier generations. Most clients describe the sensation as warm snaps or rubber band flicks. AUREA BGC uses advanced devices with built-in cooling that minimizes discomfort. Topical anesthetic is available for sensitive areas.
How much does laser treatment cost in BGC?
Laser treatment at AUREA BGC: pigmented lesion (₱5,000-₱12,000 per session), fractional resurfacing (₱25,000-₱50,000), vascular lesion (₱8,000-₱20,000), hair removal (₱15,000-₱40,000 per area). Multi-session packages offer savings. All laser treatments include consultation, test spot, and aftercare kit.
Can I combine laser with other treatments?
Yes, with proper spacing. We typically separate laser from injectables by 2-4 weeks. Laser can be combined with medical facials after 1-2 weeks. Your AUREA BGC dermatologist sequences combination protocols to maximize synergy while ensuring safe recovery between treatments.
