Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about this procedure

  • What are laser treatments and which lasers do we use at the clinic?

    Laser treatment uses light energy targeted at a specific structure in the skin, for example pigment, a blood vessel, or collagen in the deeper layers. We use two Fotona systems: the StarWalker MaQX is a Q-switched laser for removing tattoos, pigmented lesions, and vascular lesions, while the TimeWalker 4D PRO combines Er:YAG and Nd:YAG wavelengths and is used for skin rejuvenation and non-invasive lifting. This one page therefore covers several different treatments, and the specific approach depends on the indication, meaning what needs to be addressed. Suitability, the device, and the protocol are determined by the doctor at a free consultation, based on the clinical findings, your Fitzpatrick phototype, and your health.

  • How much does laser treatment cost in Poděbrady?

    Laser treatment starts at CZK 5,000. The final price depends on the type of procedure, the size of the treated area, and the number of sessions required. The Fotona 4D facelift is a separate service starting at CZK 8,000. Because many indications are treated with a series of sessions, we confirm the price breakdown in advance at a free consultation.

  • How many sessions will I need?

    The number of sessions varies depending on the indication. Tattoo removal usually requires 3 to 10 or more sessions, pigmented lesions require 1 to 6 sessions, and vascular lesions require 1 to 4 sessions. Fractional rejuvenation is usually 1 to 3 sessions, the Fotona 4D facelift is also 1 to 3 sessions, acne and scar treatment is 4 to 8 sessions, and hair removal is 6 to 10 sessions. For melasma, the number of sessions is determined by the doctor. The doctor determines the exact plan at the consultation, based on the extent of the condition and how your skin responds to the first treatment.

  • Does laser treatment hurt and how long does it take?

    How it feels depends on the type of procedure. With Q-switched treatment of tattoos and pigmentation, it is a brief stinging sensation, while fractional modes feel more like heat. Depending on the extent of treatment, we use cooling, a protective gel, and a local anaesthetic, and your eyes are protected throughout. If you are sensitive to treatment, let us know in advance. The treatment itself takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on the type of procedure.

  • How long does recovery take after treatment?

    Recovery time varies depending on the type of treatment. After Q-switched treatment it is usually short, with the skin red for a few days, while after fractional treatment it is longer, and the skin heals gradually. After tattoo removal, expect recovery to take 1 to 2 weeks, because scabs form at the treated site. After the Fotona 4D facelift treatment, most patients return to their usual routine the following day. The doctor will describe what to expect in your specific case in advance, so you can schedule the appointment around important work or social events.

  • When will I see results and are they permanent?

    For pigmented and vascular lesions, a change is usually visible after 1 to 2 weeks, while for tattoos the result builds up gradually over the whole series of sessions. For rejuvenation and lifting, the result improves over 2 to 6 months, because new collagen forms. Removed pigmentation generally does not return, but with melasma you should expect it to come back and require a maintenance regimen, and new pigmentation can develop, especially after sun exposure without protection. For rejuvenation and lifting, the effect is temporary, and the treatment is repeated after some time. For hair removal, this is a permanent reduction of hair, not its complete removal.

  • What are the possible side effects?

    After treatment, temporary redness, mild swelling, and skin sensitivity are common, and depending on the type of procedure, scabs or small blisters may also appear. With pigmentation treatment, there is a risk of temporary darkening or lightening of the skin at the treated site, and mild scarring rarely occurs with tattoo removal. With permanent make-up and certain tattoo pigments, paradoxical darkening of the pigment can occur, which is why you should tell us about permanent make-up in advance. In patients prone to cold sores, the laser can trigger an outbreak, which is why we ask about cold sores beforehand. The risk is reduced by setting the device according to your phototype and by following the aftercare instructions, especially sun protection.

  • When should I contact the clinic after laser treatment?

    Contact us if blisters, pus-like discharge, spreading redness, or fever occur, because this may indicate infection or deeper thermal damage to the skin. Also contact us if pain and swelling get worse after treatment instead of easing. Do not pick at scabs or blisters, as this risks scarring and infection. If you experience swelling of the face or tongue, hives, difficulty breathing, or a change in vision after treatment around the eyes, seek emergency medical care; in other cases, call the clinic at +420777879849, sooner rather than later.

  • How should I prepare for laser treatment?

    Avoid intensive sunbathing and sunbeds for a minimum of 4 weeks before treatment, because tanned skin increases the risk of complications. One week before, skip peels containing fruit acids and topical retinoids, and after checking with your prescribing doctor, also skip any photosensitising medication. If you have taken isotretinoin in the last 6 months, tell us, as this is a reason to postpone the treatment. If you have recurring cold sores in the area we will be treating, tell us, because preventive antiviral treatment prescribed by a doctor is appropriate before the procedure. Come to the treatment without makeup.

  • Can I go out in the sun after treatment?

    After most laser procedures, avoid direct sun exposure for a minimum of 4 weeks and use a sunscreen with SPF 50. In the first few weeks, the treated skin is more sensitive and the risk of pigmentation spots is higher. Avoid saunas and sunbeds for 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the type of treatment. If you are planning a seaside holiday, tell us when booking, and we will schedule the treatment accordingly.

  • Who is laser treatment not suitable for?

    We do not perform this treatment during pregnancy or breastfeeding, during an active infection or cold sore in the treated area, or on unhealed skin at the treatment site. We also do not perform it after recent use of retinoids, especially isotretinoin taken in the last 6 months. We do not remove a pigmented mole with a laser without a prior dermatological assessment, because the laser destroys the tissue needed to rule out a tumour. If you take photosensitising medication, tell us, as the treatment then needs to be scheduled in agreement with your prescribing doctor. Your phototype and current level of tan also play a role, which is why we discuss your health, any medication you take, and allergies at the consultation before treatment.
