Sessions, Recovery, and Sun Safety
How Many Sessions You Need
Downtime by Laser Type
Miami-Specific Sun Warning
Non-ablative lasers need 3 to 5 sessions; ablative usually need 1 to 2. Severe scarring can require up to 6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart.
Non-ablative takes 1 to 2 days of mild redness. Fractional requires 5 to 7 days. Ablative takes 1 to 2 weeks of redness, swelling, and peeling.
Year-round UV in South Florida requires strict sun avoidance and daily SPF. Deeper skin tones face higher hyperpigmentation risk, so confirm clinician experience with your Fitzpatrick type.
What to Check Before You Book
Ask for the exact device and settings, operator qualifications, before-and-after photos for your skin tone, and total cost for all sessions before committing to a clinic.
