While going through a laser treatment swelling, pain and scars are your liabilities but you can minimize them. Like for

Pain: You can use different Ointment (or anesthesia creams) which make the skin dead for few minutes or hours and you won't feel any thing and hence help in reducing the pain.
Swelling: Use ice cubes on the treated place. This will close all the pores and hence will prevent infection and swelling.
Scars: Try not to peal them and they will go with the passage of time.
