Some people notice initial improvements soon after the treatment, but the most significant results typically appear over the next two to three months as collagen production increases. The effects can last up to a year or more.
The sensation varies from person to person. Many describe it as a warm or prickling feeling during the treatment. Discomfort can be managed with pain relief options, and the practitioner will ensure the patient's comfort.
Mild redness, swelling, tingling, or tenderness may occur after the procedure but usually resolve within a few hours or days. Serious side effects are rare.
