You will experience a pulsed heating sensation. Treatments last anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes.
Spots will darken and crust over a period of up to two weeks. New, pinkish skin will be visible after the damaged cells slough off. A period of about one month is required before final results appear.
Avoid exfoliating treatments and significant sun exposure for at least two weeks. Clients cannot be on antibiotics for 10 days leading up to this treatment. Discontinue retinol use for one week prior.
Nothing should be applied to the skin for at least four hours after treatment to allow the heat to continue working underneath. After that, aloe or Aquafor can be applied multiple times a day to speed up recovery time. Don’t cleanse with hot water. Makeup is not recommended while healing. Sunscreen all day!
