Treatment information

SpotAway – fibromas and seborrhoeic warts

Well prepared for your appointment

We will soon welcome you to Fine LaserClinic for your SpotAway treatment. We think it is important that you know exactly how to prepare your skin and let the treated spot recover with care afterwards.

You will receive this information automatically with your appointment. Please read through the page in advance: you will find the preparation, the aftercare and the moments when we would like you to get in touch with us.

If your treatment plan deviates, other arrangements are made or advice is not followed, we will confirm this by email. That way it is clear to everyone what you can expect and what we expect from you.

Safety in brief

let the scab come off by itself, keep the treated area clean and dry, and do not use make-up or irritating products while the skin is open or sensitive. Avoid sun and sunbeds for 4 weeks and use SPF 50+ daily. Contact us if you have persistent pain, inflammation or doubts about the skin reaction. Contact us before your appointment and report any new medication or antibiotics.

Before your treatment

To carry out the treatment safely and effectively, we ask you to take the following into account:

✓Come with clean skin to your appointment. The treatment area must be free of make-up, body lotion, deodorant and other skin products.
✓Do not scrub the skin in the days before and on the day of the treatment.
✓Do not use products with irritating ingredients, such as acids, retinol or exfoliants, around the treatment, unless we have advised otherwise.
✓Are you using new medication or antibiotics? Always let us know.
✓Is the skin irritated, damaged or inflamed in the treatment area? Please contact us in advance.

After your treatment

After the treatment, the skin or the spots may still feel a little sensitive, and some redness and light swelling may be visible. This is a normal skin reaction and usually fades on its own.

A small scab often forms on the treated spot. This is part of the skin’s healing process. The skin under the scab is vulnerable and needs time to recover calmly.

Important:

✓Do not pick at the scab. Let it come off by itself.
✓Keep the treated area clean and dry.
✓Do not use make-up or irritating skin products while the skin is still open, sensitive or healing.
✓Avoid saunas, swimming pools, jacuzzis and intensive exercise until the skin has fully recovered.
✓Protect the skin daily with SPF 50+.
✓Contact us if the skin remains painful, becomes inflamed, or if you are unsure about the skin reaction.

Aftercare

After the treatment a plaster may be applied to the treated spot. You may leave it on for the day of the treatment. After that you may carefully remove the plaster.

Once you have removed the plaster, care for the skin with a skin-recovery cream according to your personal product advice. Alhydran may be part of this advice. The recommended care supports the skin’s recovery and helps calm the skin barrier.

Healing usually takes about 2 weeks. This can vary from person to person. Factors such as age, smoking, health and wound healing can affect recovery.

Sun & safety during your treatment

After a SpotAway treatment the skin is temporarily more vulnerable and more sensitive to UV radiation. We therefore advise you to protect the skin well from sunlight and sunbeds.

Avoid sun and sunbeds for 4 weeks after the treatment. Exposure to UV radiation can cause hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation. Even if you follow the aftercare carefully, a change in pigment can occur because the treatment heats the epidermis.

If you do go outside, use SPF 50+ daily on the treated area and reapply sunscreen several times on sunny days. With prolonged sun exposure, sunscreen alone is not always enough. In that case, also protect or cover the treated area with clothing or another suitable material.

Well-protected skin supports the healing process and reduces the risk of pigment shifts or irritation.

Important to know

Every skin responds differently to treatments. The average number of treatments we mention on the website or during the intake consultation is therefore always an indication.

Factors such as skin type, skin condition, lifestyle, medication, sun exposure and following advice can affect the final result. In some cases more treatments are needed than expected in advance.

The skin needs time to recover. It is therefore important to allow enough time between any treatments.

The result achieved may also be temporary. Depending on the skin indication, maintenance treatments may be needed to keep the result looking good.

Because every skin and every body reacts uniquely, we cannot guarantee an exact end result or the number of treatments needed.

Pregnancy

Do you become pregnant during your treatment journey? Please let us know. We will temporarily pause your treatment journey during pregnancy.
