The typical regimen is an average of 5 treatment sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart for optimal results. A full facial skin rejuvenation treatment takes anywhere between 15-30 minutes, after which you can continue your daily routine.

You might experience temporary redness in the treatment area which should pass within several hours.
