You’ll notice immediate smoothness and brighter tone after one session, with ongoing improvement over two to six weeks. Multiple treatments often enhance scarring and discoloration results as skin regenerates and collagen production increases.

Most clients benefit from a series of three to six treatments spaced two to four weeks apart. The exact number depends on the depth of scarring and pigmentation; your technician will recommend a tailored plan during consultation.

Treatment causes a gentle scratching or sanding sensation but is generally well tolerated. Topical numbing is rarely necessary. Expect mild redness or sensitivity for a day or two; serious pain or prolonged irritation is uncommon.

Ideal candidates have mild to moderate scarring, hyperpigmentation or rough texture on the lower legs and are seeking noninvasive resurfacing. Not suitable for active infections, open wounds, or certain skin conditions—consultation ensures safe, personalized treatment.

Downtime is minimal—most clients experience redness and mild sensitivity for 24–72 hours. Avoid sun exposure and vigorous activity immediately after treatment. Use gentle skincare and SPF until skin fully calms to protect healing skin and pigmentation.

Keep skin hydrated with a gentle cleanser and fragrance-free moisturizer. Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, hot baths, and direct sun for at least 72 hours. Apply broad-spectrum SPF daily and follow your technician’s personalized aftercare and scheduling advice.
