Initial Consultation and Assessment
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation where our experienced providers take time to understand your specific concerns and skin goals. We examine your skin’s current condition, discuss your medical history, and create a customized treatment plan that aligns with your desired outcomes. During this initial meeting, we also perform advanced skin analysis using state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to assess factors like sun damage, collagen levels, and moisture content.
Treatment Selection and Planning
Based on your skin’s needs and goals, we’ll recommend the most effective combination of treatments. We consider factors such as your skin type, lifestyle, and the level of improvement you’re seeking to create a balanced treatment approach. Our team will also work with you to develop a pre-treatment preparation plan to optimize your results and minimize any potential downtime.
The Treatment Process
Most treatment sessions range from 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the chosen method and treatment area. Our skilled providers ensure your comfort throughout the procedure while delivering precise, targeted treatment for optimal results. We utilize advanced numbing techniques and cooling systems when necessary to make your experience as comfortable as possible.
Aftercare and Follow-up
We provide comprehensive aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress. Our team remains available to address any questions or concerns during your recovery period. We also offer specialized post-treatment skincare products and protocols to enhance and maintain your results.
First 24 Hours
Immediately after treatment, you can expect some redness and mild swelling, similar to a sunburn. For more intensive treatments like Fractional CO2 laser, you might experience a warming sensation that gradually subsides. During this period, it’s crucial to follow our prescribed gentle cleansing routine and avoid any harsh skincare products. Keep your skin hydrated with the recommended moisturizer and strictly avoid sun exposure.
Days 2-3
The initial redness typically begins to fade, though some patients may experience slight peeling or flaking, particularly around treated areas. This is a normal part of the skin’s renewal process. You can usually return to your regular daily activities, though we recommend continuing to avoid strenuous exercise and excessive heat exposure. Mineral-based makeup can be applied if needed, following our specific guidelines.
Days 4-7
Most patients treating mild to moderate texture concerns will see their skin return to normal by this time, with early signs of improvement becoming visible. The skin may feel slightly sensitive but should be comfortable enough for your regular skincare routine, excluding harsh exfoliants or active ingredients. Those who underwent more intensive treatments like Morpheus8 or CO2 laser might still experience some mild redness or sensitivity.
Days 7-14
For more aggressive treatments like Fractional CO2 laser, this period marks the final healing phase. Any remaining redness should resolve, revealing fresher, smoother skin underneath. Most patients can resume their full skincare regimen, including gentle exfoliation if approved by their provider. The skin’s texture continues to improve as collagen production increases.
Weeks 2-8
During this period, you’ll notice progressive improvement in your skin’s texture and tone. New collagen formation continues, leading to enhanced results over time. While you can resume all normal activities, maintaining proper sun protection remains crucial for optimal results and preventing new texture concerns.
Long-term Care
After the initial healing period, maintaining your results requires consistent sun protection and a proper skincare routine. We recommend periodic maintenance treatments, typically every 3-6 months, depending on your specific concerns and treatment plan. Our team will work with you to develop a customized maintenance schedule that fits your needs and lifestyle.
General Health Status
Must be in good overall health without active skin infections or severe medical conditions that could affect healing. This includes being free from autoimmune disorders affecting the skin and having a healthy immune system.
Age and Skin Concerns
Typically adults between 25-65 years old experiencing common texture issues such as rough patches, enlarged pores, mild scarring, or early signs of aging. Your skin should be free from active acne breakouts or severe inflammatory conditions.
Lifestyle Habits
Should be a non-smoker (or willing to pause smoking during treatment period) and committed to sun protection. Having a consistent skincare routine or being willing to develop one is essential for maintaining results.
Treatment History
No recent facial surgeries or aggressive skin treatments within the past 4-6 weeks, and not currently using medications that might interfere with healing (such as certain acne medications).
Pregnancy Status
Should not be pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, as these treatments are not recommended during these times.
Realistic Expectations
Must understand that results develop gradually over time and that maintaining results requires ongoing care and possible maintenance treatments. Should have realistic goals about the potential improvements to their skin texture.
