We use the Cynosure Elite iQ,  a dual-wavelength system to offer our two laser services. For the Heyday Laser Facial, we use the Elite iQ’s 1064 nm ND:YAG wavelength. For the Heyday Spot Treatment, our laser adjusts to the Alexandrite 755 nm wavelength.

The Skintel® Melanin Reader™ provides a comprehensive reading of the melanin present in the skin to determine your Fitzpatrick skin type. Based on this reading, your Laser Specialist can calibrate settings for a safe and effective treatment.

As a first-timer at Heyday, you’ll meet your Heyday Laser Specialist. They will review your intake form, assess your skin, determine your Fitzpatrick type using The Skintel® Melanin Reader™, and do a single pass with the laser to see how your skin reacts. Once this has been done, your specialist will come up with a personalized treatment plan.  

You will go home with detailed instructions that will outline your personalized treatment plan, as well as guidance for how to care for your skin post-treatment.

You are not a candidate for a Laser Facial if…

…you are currently on any of the below medications or suffer from any of the below medical conditions:

• Accutane usage within 6 months
• Systemic steroid use 
• Recent use of antibiotics 
• Prescription anticoagulants
• Immunosuppressant medications
• Gold therapy (injection + oral) 
• Impaired immune system/response
• Active inflammatory disorders (eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, dermatitis)
• History of skin cancer
• Lupus
• Vitiligo
• Seizure disorders
• Pregnancy or trying to conceive
• Active Eczema/Psoriasis/Rosacea, Rash

…you have had any of the following treatments within the past two weeks:

• Botox or fillers
• Chemical Peels
• Microblading
• Microneedling

…or you have had recent sun exposure, tanning, or application of sunless tanning lotion within:

• 1 week - you are not a candidate for a Laser facial (1064 nm)
• 4 weeks - you are not a candidate for a Laser spot treatment (755 nm Alexandrite)

• Discontinue use of any active exfoliants, Rx topicals, or ingredients such as retinol or benzoyl peroxide for a minimum of 1 week.
• Avoid the use of sunless tanning lotions for a minimum of 1 week prior to your Laser Facial.
• Avoid scheduling/receiving any cosmetic procedures such as botox, fillers, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, microneedling, or microblading for at least 2 weeks prior.

• During the first few hours following your Laser Facial, you may experience tightness or redness. (It might feel like a mild sunburn). This normally subsides the same day of treatment.
• You may notice that some pigmented areas have darkened, or have become rough to the touch. If so, avoid picking at the skin or exfoliating. These spots will fall off after about a week.
• After your treatment, your skin will be more sensitive and delicate than usual. We recommend keeping your routine as simple as possible and treating your skin with some serious TLC.
• Avoid swimming, hot yoga, sauna, steam rooms, and strenuous exercise for a minimum of 2-3 days following treatment, or until any redness or irritation has cleared.
• Do not perform any hair removal to the treated areas for at least one week post-treatment.
• Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and sunless tanning lotions throughout the course of your treatment. Use a broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunblock (SPF 30 or greater) when exposed to the sun.
• Avoid scheduling cosmetic procedures during the course of your overall treatment.
• On the day of treatment, use a gentle, hydrating cleanser followed by a hydrating moisturizer. Your skin is still in a delicate space, so apply and remove all products as gently as possible.
• For one week post-treatment, discontinue use of any exfoliating products, active ingredients such as Retinol, Vitamin C, Benzoyl Peroxide, or any other topical prescriptions on your bathroom shelf.
• You can resume your regular skincare routine one week after treatment as long as there is no redness or irritation.
• If there’s any swelling or redness, you can take acetaminophen.
• If there is any sign of blistering or infection (tenderness or pus), please contact a physician immediately.


It depends on the individual and the skin concern. Some skin conditions can be improved or resolved with laser treatments so that they do not return. Specifically, lesions treated with the Laser Spot Treatment are not likely to return. However, some skin conditions can reappear due to natural processes and outside influences. Your Laser Specialist will be able to advise how long results are expected to last based on skin type/conditions.
