The discomfort level of surgical scar reduction toronto sessions is generally mild and will vary depending on the area being treated. During your CO₂ fractional laser session, most clients describe the feeling as a series of quick, warm “snaps” or tingles against the skin. You may feel gentle warmth or a mild stinging sensation in the treated area, similar to a sunburn, which typically subsides within a few hours.
After the session, your skin will feel warm and slightly tight for a day or two. Redness and mild swelling are normal and part of the healing process, and these fade over the following days as your skin begins to renew itself.
