What You Need to Know About Xtrac
Xtrac laser therapy requires multiple sessions to be effective. For most patients, ten or fewer sessions—each lasting approximately 20 minutes—is enough to effectively clear an affected area. These sessions usually take place between one-to-three times a week, depending upon your skin type and severity of condition.
Xtrac laser therapy does not hurt, and no recovery time following treatment is required. This means that no anesthesia, general nor local, is required with Xtrac therapy, reducing the procedure’s associated risks.
Following the treatment, a feeling of being sunburnt—characterized by redness, itching, and tenderness—may result. Xtrac laser therapy, while effective, is not totally without risks. If you have a family history of skin cancer, make sure you discuss this with your dermatologist prior to receiving treatment. Xtrac laser therapy may increase the risk of developing non-melanoma type skin cancers.
