What does the treatment involve?
The treatment involves multiple superficial injections of the gel with a very fine, small needle. The treatment can feel 'stingy' although this quickly resolves. Skin numbing cream is applied prior to treatment to ease the momentary discomfort.
Immediately after the treatment, you will notice small bumps where treatment has been injected, accompanied with surrounding redness/swelling. These will resolve, likely within 48hours.
Treatment Results
As this treatment aims to promote collagen production and improve skin quality, results can take time. Results should be expected within three to six months, with results lasting months to years.
For optimal results, a course of three treatments is recommended, with sessions spaced 2-3 weeks apart. This treatment protocol allows the regenerative effects of therapy to build progressively.
It is advised for a single maintenance treatment every six months to maintain skin quality. Consider this a booster!
