How long will the results last?
Your results will start to improve in the months following your treatment, with the best results achieved usually 8-12 weeks after treatment. These results will typically last for approximately 12 months. The longevity of the results will depend on the condition of the skin before the treads treatments, adherence to aftercare, the presence of sun damage, and personal factors such as metabolism. In order to achieve long lasting results, maintenance treatments are recommended.
