Prior to your first treatment a thorough skin analysis will be performed. If treatment is not appropriate, you are informed during this session and an alternative treatment may be recommended instead. If treatment is appropriate, maximum results are obtained by participating in a series of treatments plus following a home care regimen. To further enhance your outcome, products specifically directed toward obtaining correction are highly recommended. Your current daily regimen and skin care products used will be reviewed, and you will be instructed which products you should continue to use, and will be advised on any recommended additions to your regimen. It is recommended to keep regular appointments and carefully follow your home care regimen to support your results.

We take every precaution to ensure that your skin is well hydrated and calm prior to leaving each session. However, you may experience excessive dryness and/or peeling between sessions, which may or may not be normal. Always check with the esthetician if you have any concerns after the treatment. More sensitive skin may experience some redness after the first couple of sessions. This normally goes away after 2 to 3 hours. After your treatment, sunblock must be worn at all times and tanning beds should never be used.

Maximum results are highly dependent on your age, cumulative sun exposure, health, menopause, lifestyle, genetic traits, general skin condition, and your willingness to follow recommended protocols. Be aware that many changes may occur deeper within the skin over time. Participation in a series of treatments, along with a commitment to your daily skin care regimen may produce noticable differences. You may see a reduction of fine lines and a softening of deeper wrinkles, reduction of discoloration, softening and possible reduction in scars, and an overall improvement to the skin's tone and appearance.

Aerobic exercise or vigorous physical activity should be avoided until all redness has subsided. Direct sunlight exposure is to be completely avoided immediately following the treatment (including any strong UV light exposure and tanning beds). If some sun exposure cannot be avoided, first apply sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or greater. Although sunscreen should be a part of your daily skin care, for a minimum of two weeks, a sunscreen with at least a SPF of 15 must be applied.
Cleanse your face with water or a mild soap substitute twice daily followed by a mild sunscreen (minimum SPF 30). If a site other than the face is treated, you only need to cleanse once daily, followed by sunscreen. In the event that you may have additional questions or concerns regarding your treatment or suggested home product / post-treatment care, you must consult your esthetician immediately.
