How many treatments are needed?

The number of treatments needed can vary depending on the individual patient’s skin condition and treatment goals. In general, multiple treatment sessions are recommended to achieve the desired results.

Typically, a series of 3-6  sessions spaced about 4 weeks apart is recommended for optimal result. However, the exact number of treatments needed will depend on aspects such as the skin concern being treated and the individual patient’s response to the treatment. After the initial series of treatments, maintenance treatments may be recommended to help maintain the results over time. Again, the specific treatment plan will vary depending on the individual patient’s needs and goals.

It is important to note that the treatments are designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes and promote collagen production, which helps reverse skin ageing. However, the natural ageing process, as well as aspects such as smoking, sun exposure, and environmental elements, can all contribute to the breakdown of collagen over time.
