Most patients require a series of 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart to achieve noticeable scar improvement. Severity and scar age affect the plan; your provider will create a customized schedule during consultation based on skin type and healing response.

We apply topical numbing to minimize discomfort; most clients describe sensations as mild pressure or heat. Treatment is well tolerated, and pain management options are available for sensitive areas or anxious patients to ensure a comfortable experience.

Expect redness, swelling, and minor pinpoint bleeding for 24–72 hours. Gentle cleansing and sun avoidance are essential; makeup can usually be applied after 24–48 hours if approved. Full collagen remodeling continues for months after initial healing.

Side effects are generally mild—temporary redness, swelling, sensitivity, or pigment changes. Rare risks include infection or scarring if aftercare is neglected. Pre-treatment consultation screens for contraindications to reduce complications and ensures safe, effective care tailored to each patient.

Initial smoothing and texture improvements may appear within 2–4 weeks, but collagen remodeling continues for 3–6 months. Optimal scar reduction typically requires multiple sessions, with progressive improvements visible after each treatment as the skin rebuilds.

Not ideal candidates include pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, those with active infections, keloid-prone skin, recent isotretinoin use, or certain autoimmune disorders. A thorough medical history and skin assessment during consultation determine candidacy and safer alternative options when necessary.
