During the session, a handheld device delivers pulses of light to your skin, targeting unwanted pigmentation and redness.
Each treatment typically lasts about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
For optimal results, multiple sessions are usually recommended, spaced about four weeks apart, to allow your skin to heal and regenerate between treatments.
After the procedure, you may experience mild redness similar to a sunburn, which typically subsides within a few hours.
Multiple sessions are typically required for optimal results. The exact number varies based on individual skin conditions and the specific issues being addressed, but most clients see significant improvement after 3 to 5 treatments.
