What are the consequences of residual fake tan with Clear & Brilliant laser?

Question

I stupidly 2 days ago used self tanning drops with my moisturiser and had residual fake tan on my face when I went in to have clear & brilliant and my face felt on fire, burning. I'm worried this is going to permanently leave me with me with hyperpigmentation. I'm very fair skinned.

It is common to experience a warm or burning sensation on the skin, many people describe it as a wind burn feeling and this can last up to a few days post-treatment. Depending on your skin type and the setting the practitioner used can also contribute to how your skin will react after treatment. An ice pack can be used to help relieve any warmth, burning or redness. Your skin may turn darker and feel dry but this should resolve within a week post-treatment. It is also very important to be sun aware and apply a strong SPF when going outside. If you were still to feel discomfort, I would contact the clinic you went and had the treatment.
