On treatment day, your practitioner will prepare your skin and apply the appropriate treatments. Most sessions take between 15-45 minutes depending on the area being treated. You'll receive detailed aftercare instructions to maximize your results.

Progressive Results

Most acne protocols involve a series of treatments for optimal results. Your customized plan will outline the recommended number of sessions (typically 4-6) and intervals between treatments to progressively improve skin clarity and prevent future breakouts.
