What to Expect
Pre-Treatment Instructions
- No sun exposure for 2 weeks before the procedure
- Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, blood thinners, ginkgo Biloba, garlic, fish oil, and vitamin E for 1 week before the procedure to decrease the risk of bleeding and bruising
- Stop topical retinol, topical antibiotics, exfoliants, hydroquinone, and benzoyl peroxide or AHA/BHA products 72 hours before treatment
During Your Treatment
Topical numbing will be applied for 15+ minutes before the treatment. The most common sensation during the procedure is a warm, scratching feeling as the device is moved around the treatment areas. This procedure is well tolerated by most people. Typically, appointments take one hour.
Aftercare
It is normal for your skin to appear red and flushed for the next 24 hours. On days 1-3, your face may feel like you have a sunburn, and be tight, dry, and sensitive to the touch. It is recommended to stay out of the sun for the first week. Avoid cosmetics for the first 24 hours along with strenuous exercises, jacuzzi, sauna, and steam baths. 3-6 treatments are recommended, spaced one month apart. Full results typically appear within 4-8 weeks post-treatment.
Is This Service Right For Me?
If you are looking for a brighter complexion and to lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, then this service is for you! It can be used on all types of skin. However, this treatment is not safe if you have active cancer in the treatment area, open wounds or sores, a bleeding disorder, or are taking Accutane. If you have been on systemic corticosteroids (prednisone) in the last 4 weeks, please reschedule.
