When you invest in your skin, you want results that don’t just show—they last. That’s why laser facials are having a moment in Boston, Wellesley and Lexington. Loved for their ability to bring out that “lit-from-within” glow with zero downtime, this treatment works below the surface to help your skin look brighter, smoother, and more even. But how long can you expect to see results after your appointment?
What Happens to Your Skin After a Laser Facial?
Laser facials use non-invasive light energy to gently warm the deeper layers of your skin. This helps stimulate collagen, minimize redness, and soften fine lines—all without damaging the surface. After your treatment, you may notice a slight flush (that healthy post-workout kind of glow), followed by skin that looks and feels brighter, firmer, and more even over the next few days.
Most of our guests at Bella Santé say their skin looks refreshed almost immediately—with results continuing to improve in the days that follow.
Before & After Laser Facial Results at Bella Santé
An example of the luminous results laser facials are known for: improved texture, glow, and reduction in fine lines.
How Long Do Laser Facial Results Typically Last?
The immediate glow can last for up to 3–4 weeks, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Behind the scenes, your skin is continuing to rebuild collagen and improve its tone and texture for weeks after the treatment.
To maintain that fresh, radiant look long-term, we recommend coming in for a laser facial every 4 to 6 weeks. Many guests also explore laser skin resurfacing in Boston for deeper rejuvenation when looking to address more advanced signs of aging or textural concerns. With consistent visits, results in skin smoothness, firmness, and tone can continue to improve over time.
What Can Impact Your Results?
Just like with any skincare treatment, your results will depend on a few key factors:
- Sun exposure: Skipping SPF can undo your results quickly.
- Skin type and age: Mature skin may take longer to show improvements, but benefits compound over time.
- Daily routine: Gentle cleansing, proper hydration, and consistent skincare make all the difference.
- Lifestyle habits: Smoking, alcohol, and stress can impact how your skin heals and holds on to results.
How to Make Your Glow Last Longer
A few small tweaks to your routine can help extend your laser facial results:
- Wear sunscreen every single day—even if it’s cloudy.
- Hydrate inside and out with water, moisturizer, and hydrating serums.
- Skip harsh exfoliants for a few days post-treatment.
- Book your next appointment within 4–6 weeks to stay ahead of the curve.
If you’re prepping for a special event, consider pairing your laser facial with a Signature Facial or a peel a few days before.
