Depending on the area treated, you can plan to be in office anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 hour. Downtime is minimal and generally less than 24 hours, but redness can last up to 3 days and dryness of the skin 7-10 days. Results vary based on the severity of the skin concern, its location, and the treatment plan used. You provider may recommend 3-6 treatment sessions. The skin may continue increased collagen production for 3 to 6 months post treatment.
