Answer: Number of treatments needed:
Visible improvement can be seen as early as the second treatment. Most acne patients require 4 or 5 treatments every week to two weeks. Usually after one treatment, there is very little improvement. After the second treatment, the patient should notice a modest improvement. The third treatment, however seems to produce the most significant improvement and after the fourth and fifth treatment, most if not all the acne lesions should be gone.
During this series of treatments, the patient may remain on any traditional acne therapies they feel comfortable using. They also should maintain a good skin care regimen recommended by our providers. Following the final treatment, the patient may also remain on any therapies they feel comfortable with and also must maintain a good skin care regimen.
Most patients require a single touch up treatment every three to four months.
