SCAR LIGHTENING

The procedure can take 2-4 sessions for successful results, in rare cases 5-6. 

During the appointment no numbing is applied as it can disrupt the skin and effect the effectiveness of the treatment. Discomfort can fluctuate depending on the area treated, usually a 4 out of 10. 

After the appointment- It's very important to follow aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing. The skin will go through stages of healing, and sending weekly photos is encouraged to answer questions and supply you with the best plan.

Clients will leave the appointment red and inflamed and specks of blood underneath the surface may be visible. The skin will feel warm and sensitive to the touch. All of this is normal and expected. 

Slight burning and itching in the early days is normal. Do not scratch the area. When the edema is gone, redness may last up to 20-40 days. After redness subsides the stretch marks will appear darker than the surrounding natural skin tone. The final result may occur between 60-90 days, we will asses the need of another session after 60 days. In some cases it can take longer to heal; healing can extend up to 120 days if needed. 

Clients that are very prone to hyperpigmentation, extremely fair skinned clients (Fitz Patrick 1), slower healing clients, and clients over the age of 50 healing can take upwards of 120 days. 

Vegans and vegetarians may experience longer healing, over 120 days.
