How many treatments are needed?
The number of treatments that are right for you depends on what condition you want to treat and how severe your case is. If you simply want to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and renew your skin, 1-3 treatments are often sufficient. However, if you are interested in treating stretch marks and scars, 3-5 or more treatments may be necessary. Dr. Rezk will create an individualized treatment plan based on your unique needs.
What can I expect at my appointment?
Initially, you have a consultation with Dr. Rezk to determine your needs and goals for treatment. He then creates an individualized treatment plan. During the procedure, Dr. Rezk places the laser over the areas of treatment. Most patients experience only very mild discomfort, although options are available if you feel that you might be extra sensitive. Following treatment, you will likely experience some swelling, as well as a feeling similar to sunburn. These will resolve quickly. You will notice an improvement after each treatment and will continue to notice further improvement for months to come as your skin heals itself naturally.
