Redness, sensitivity, tightness or mild swelling may occur after treatment. These effects commonly improve within 24 to 72 hours, although recovery varies by patient and treatment intensity.
The recommended number of treatments depends on your skin and goals. Some patients benefit from a series of treatments, particularly when addressing acne scars or more noticeable texture concerns. A personalized plan will be discussed during your consultation.
Skin renewal occurs gradually. Early improvements may become noticeable as the skin recovers, while continued changes can develop over the following weeks as the remodeling process progresses. Results and timelines vary.
