A numbing cream is applied before the procedure to minimise discomfort, and most patients describe the sensation as light pressure or a mild buzzing.

Patients can resume normal activities within 24 hours, making it an easy treatment to fit into your routine.

To achieve the best results, a series of multiple treatments spaced approximately four weeks apart is recommended. After completing your initial series, maintenance treatments will help sustain your results and keep your skin looking its best.

This leads to smoother, firmer skin without introducing foreign substances into the body, making it a natural approach to skin rejuvenation.
