Prior to the procedure, your skin will be cleansed and prepared for treatment. Sinon is considered to be a very tolerable procedure for the vast majority of our patients. When used for treating brown spots & sun damage, typically ice or cold air is more than enough to reduce any potential discomfort. When used for tattoo removal, we’ll perform injectable numbing prior to treatment, so you’ll feel very little discomfort if anything at all. You may feel a tiny sting when the laser is being used on the skin, but this feeling is fleeting & not very intense at all. After the treatment, we’ll apply a mild topical steroid cream to reduce inflammation and calm the skin.

Side effects & downtime from Sinon are minimal. Most patients experience redness & crusting in the treatment area, resolving over the course of approximately 1 to 3 weeks, depending on the treatment area. The skin may remain red or pink for several months after treatment but is easily covered with tinted sunscreen or makeup. You’ll be able to return to your normal daily activities immediately after treatment. You’ll also be given specific post-treatment instructions after the procedure. Make sure to closely follow these instructions for best results.
