You’ll notice initial smoothing within weeks, with progressive improvement over three months as collagen builds. Best results emerge after the full three-treatment series, with benefits continuing for six to twelve months depending on skin care and lifestyle.

Yes, many clients combine this resurfacing with complementary treatments, but timing matters. We recommend spacing other aggressive procedures before or after laser sessions and a consultation to create a safe sequence that maximizes results without over‑treating skin.
