Most clients experience mild discomfort described as snapping or warmth. We tailor settings, use cooling devices, and can apply topical numbing when needed. Expect minimal downtime, and aftercare reduces irritation and speeds recovery.

Avoid sun exposure, tanning products, and waxing for several weeks. Shave the area 24 hours prior if instructed. Bring any prior medical notes and avoid topical irritants to ensure safe, effective treatment.

Temporary redness, mild swelling, and follicular swelling or darkening are common and typically resolve within days. Rarely blistering or pigment changes occur—follow aftercare instructions and contact us promptly for guidance or treatment if needed.

Long-term loss of nipple sensation is uncommon. The 1064 YAG targets follicles, not nerves. Temporary sensitivity changes may occur. Discuss concerns and history during consultation to assess personal risk and ensure appropriate settings.
