Does this treatment hurt?
Karen Bowen Dermal Therapist ensures the application of a topical anaesthetic gel that works to reduce pain and discomfort. Prior to the commencement of the procedure the anaesthetic is thoroughly cleansed off the skin.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments suggested will range depending on the skin concern that is being treated. As a rough guide, our team suggests starting with a minimum of 4 treatments, occurring 4-6 weeks apart. However, more advanced skin issues may require up to 8 treatments.
When will I see results?
Collagen and elastin regeneration takes up to 6-12 months. Therefore, the team at Karen Bowen Dermal Therapist advises that the most significant improvements will be noticed 6-12months following your course of treatments.
What will my skin look like after the treatment?
Every client will respond differently to treatment and will have a different rate at which their skin heals. Immediately following the treatment patients typically experience localised erythema (redness) and possible oedema (swelling). A very small amount of bleeding can occur at the time of treatment but will resolve almost immediately following the treatment. The skin may feel hot and tight (similar to sun burn), and some clients experience brief stinging when applying products 1-3 days after. Skin will take 7-14 days to heal entirely following treatment. Specific after-care instructions will be provided by our team and should be followed to ensure effective recovery.
