How many treatments are needed, and when will I see results?
The number of treatments needed varies depending on individual skin concerns and goals. Typically, a series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended. Results can be noticed gradually, with optimal improvement seen several weeks to months after completing the treatment series.
