During your consultation we will provide you with a recommended course of treatments. But most people need between 2-4.

This depends on the treatment.With skin remodelling using the ClearLiftTM, results should be immediately visible, but you will see continuing improvements over time as new collagen develops. Acne treatment or tattoo removal may need several sessions for you to see the best results.

This depends on the treatment and which conditions you are treating. But we will give you all the information you need to understand if you should expect any side-effects post treatment.

If you have a Pixel skin rejuvenation treatment, for example, you may experience a mild sunburn sensation for approximately an hour post-treatment. Your skin may also look red and feel tight for around 48 hours, and then can be a bit pink for up to a week. Some people, especially those with sensitive skin, have a histamine response to this treatment and develop raised bumps and swelling that can take two to three days to resolve.

You should not need to take any downtime after a ClearLift or thread vein treatment.

If you have treatment for hyperpigmentation, you may want to time your treatment for a quiet week as the pigmentation may initially look darker before it improves.
