Common Questions
How many treatments will I need?
Most clients achieve significant results with 1-2 treatments, depending on their skin concerns and goals. Deeper concerns may require additional sessions. Your practitioner will recommend a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.
What is recovery like?
Expect 5-7 days of social downtime with redness, swelling, and peeling. The first 3-4 days involve the most visible recovery. By day 7-10, most clients feel comfortable with makeup. Full healing takes 2-3 weeks. Detailed day-by-day aftercare instructions are provided.
Is the treatment painful?
Topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimize discomfort. During the procedure, you may feel warmth and some discomfort, but it is generally well-tolerated. Post-treatment, the skin may feel tender similar to sunburn for a few days.
How long do results last?
Results can last several years with proper skincare and strict sun protection. Many clients see dramatic, long-lasting improvements in skin texture, tone, and fine lines. Annual maintenance treatments can help sustain results.
What are the risks?
When performed correctly by trained practitioners, risks are minimal. Potential side effects include prolonged redness, infection (rare with proper aftercare), pigmentation changes, or scarring. A full consultation and medical screening are required to minimize risks and ensure suitability.
