You’ll see results after 3 to 6 months. The exact time frame depends on the type and severity of your condition. In most cases, you’ll need at least four sessions. This also depends on what you’re treating. For example, if you have moderate acne scars, you’ll need about three or four treatments. Bigger scars might need five treatments. These sessions will be done every 3 to 8 weeks. This lets your skin heal between treatments. After the initial set of treatments, the results will last about 1 year. It’s recommended to have a touch-up session once a year to maintain your desired results.
