How are the treatments performed?
The surface of the skin is treated using a handheld device that sprays tiny crystals onto the skin. The crystals act as a gentle abrasion agent and are immediately suctioned back up into the machine, along with any loosened skin.

How long do the treatments take?
The procedure generally lasts no more than thirty minutes.

Is more than one treatment necessary?
It is often necessary to repeat the procedure to achieve the desired results. A typical regimen consists of four to eight treatments, at intervals of 1 to 3 weeks.

Are the treatments painful?
Some people report some mild irritation, but most report no pain at all. In fact, many patients describe the tingling sensation created by the process as invigorating.

How much recovery time is needed?
Immediately after the procedure, women can apply makeup and return to their normal activities. The skin will turn pink immediately afterward, but this color will fade within a few hours.

Are there side effects?
The procedure does not involve any known risks. Some patients with very sensitive skin may experience slight irritation.
