Details.
A cosmetic skin treatment that uses controlled induction of the skin's self-repair process to stimulate collagen synthesis and improve product penetration. Benefits include minimizing fine lines and wrinkles, improving elasticity and skin texture, reducing acne scars and pore size, improving topical serum effects, reducing sun damage, and addressing hair loss. It can treat the face, neck, décolletage, arms, hands, legs, abdomen, back, and other areas. Come to the appointment with no makeup and clean, dry skin. A numbing cream is applied for 20 minutes before the procedure. Discontinue intensive topical products at least 48 hours before treatment. After treatment, avoid prolonged direct sunlight, swimming pools, saunas, heavy sweating, exfoliants, retinols, and vitamin C as directed. Makeup can typically be resumed 2 to 3 days after treatment. Most patients receive a series of 5 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart, while some concerns may require 6 to 8 sessions at 4 to 6 week intervals.
