Not surgery but adjacent. Has anyone had laser before? I have the appointment next week and I wonder if my skin might look hideous after? Should I take time off? (not that it is too busy anyway tbh).
For face or hair removal? I've had fraxel laser for acne scarring before (people do it for anti ageing too) and my skin was horrendously sore and red for the rest of that day, and swollen. I think it was a bit tender for a couple of days after, but actually the laser itself left more scarring (weird skin texture that looks like lots of little dots a year on still) and didn't even remove any acne scars. Anyway, you shouldn't need to take too much time off, you can always cover redness with make up, but I did look a bit chipmunk-y for a couple of days still. I'm fairly certain I had a booking a day or two after as I'm now remembering being self conscious about my face and wanting to explain to the client that I don't always look so inflated
Laser hair removal doesn't leave any evidence of treatment even immediately after, in my experience.
