What to expect

 

Treatment Time

Usually around 20–30 minutes, depending on the area treated.

Sensation

A warm, prickling heat sensation during treatment.

Downtime

Skin may feel hot, tight, and appear red for the first 24–48 hours.

Real refinement. Visible improvement.

Many clients notice a visible glow within days, followed by smoother texture and a fresher skin appearance over the next 1–2 weeks.

Because collagen stimulation continues after treatment, improvement keeps developing over time. Depending on your concerns, a course of treatments may be recommended for the best result.
