What is involved, what is the down time?

Application of a special local anaesthetic crème (superior to conventional EMLA) needs to work for thirty minutes. The area is cleaned then treated with the super engineered roller, penetrating the skin to 1mm to cause very fine puncture marks of consistent depth. A face treatment takes twenty to thirty minutes. It can  feel a little uncomfortable but is usually well tolerated.

What happens after?

A specialised soothing crème is applied, the skin is cleaned. The skin looks pink and  feels very warm for about two hours. Thereafter it feels like a moderately bad sunburn, feels tight and warm for two to three days but to an observer it will look like a high glow and not look abnormal. Bruising and swelling is unlikely. You can carry on with normal activities FROM the next day and you will be able to apply the soothing balm and make up the next day. You must wear a high protection factor of SPF50, which we supply the first time.

How many treatments?

Two to five treatments is usual depending on the problem. Rejuvenation usually needs three treatments, acne scarring may need a full five. Five is the maximum number recommended.


What about the results ?

No treatment is perfect and expectations must be realistic. Improvement only can be achieved. Acne scarring, which is notoriously difficult to treat, may improve significantly but it is unlikely to disappear. Lines and wrinkles can soften but not be erased. However the results are being compared to fractionated laser treatment and some doctors are seeing results that can be equalled to laser for some patients
