Here’s a breakdown of each laser machine, including downtime, products that help speed recovery and also how much I paid per treatment (pricing varies based on your location, but this is simply to give you a benchmark). 1️⃣ MOXI is a non-ablative laser that only has about 1 day of downtime. After treatment, you can expect your face to be very red for the rest of the day. For up to 1 week post treatment, your skin will feel like sandpaper (pigment surfaces then falls off, it’s so satisfying lol). You can wear makeup after the 1st day! ❤️‍🩹 For healing, my medical aesthetician recommended Skinceuticals Epidermal Repair cream and I absolutely LOVE it. It’s the only skin product I apply for up to 1 week after treatment. It also comes in handy if my skin is having other issues. 💸 I paid $750/treatment (ask about bundles!) I did 3 treatments because I loved it so much (one of them I had them mix in BBL laser too). 📍 (Northshore Chicago) I did my treatment at the Skin Lounge in Northfield with Kara. 2️⃣ Painless Hair Removal. As someone who has been doing laser hair removal for 15 years, I am still in shock that a painless treatment now exists. This is one treatment that usually does hurt and unfortunately requires lifetime touch-ups. Look for a MedSpa near you that offers this!! It actually felt soothing 🤭👌 💸 I paid $150 per session just for the face. I’ve done my full body years ago but don’t remember pricing sorry! Everywhere varies and it really depends on the body parts you’re doing. 3️⃣ Q-Switch for tattoo removal. As someone who spent 2 entire years doing the most excruciating treatments that did not work, I was very pleased to find this laser treatment that worked so well after just 1 treatment. They also numbed it for me, so make sure you go somewhere that has the Q-switch AND numbs you. Very important!!! I paid ~$550 per treatment (they based on how much time it would take). 📍 I went to Advanced Dermatology in Glencoe. ❤️‍🩹 I used Bacitracin and these special bandages that did not budge for days. Downtime is honestly not fun ~1 week, but so worth it 👌💫 xx
