What is the treatment procedure?
PRE - TREATMENT:
A numbing cream on the treatment area should be applied 20 minutes before the start of the procedure for greater comfort.
DURING TREATMENT:
The nurse removes the numbing cream using an antiseptic solution, then she separates your face into 4 treatment areas. It will start with the forehead, the cheeks, the chin, the perioral area then the nose.
​
The nurse applies a thin layer of Skinfuse®Lift HG zone by zone to facilitate passage of the handpiece.
POST - TREATMENT:
You will be given a kit including the Skinfuse®Lift HG to be applied within the first 24 hours after the treatment.
The micro-perforations remaining open during the first 18 to 24 hours, do not apply anything except the Skinfuse®Lift HG. The following day, the Skinfuse®Rescue repair gel provided in the kit will be applied to restore the skin barrier.
Results:
The face varies from pink to bright red depending on the indication treated. Inflammation is expected and controlled and the treatment area will be red for 24 to 48 hours with a gradual reduction. There is no social eviction necessary. You can resume your normal activities.​
​
For optimal results, it takes 3 to 6 sessions of 30 minutes spaced 30 days apart depending on the indications. Gradually, you find a more refined and homogeneous skin texture, your wrinkles and fine lines will be smoothed, and your acne scars will fade.
​
A result is visible with each treatment, but to maximize the duration of the results, it is preferable to do a course of 6 to 8 treatments depending on the expected results. Then, to maintain the results, a maintenance treatment every 8 to 12 weeks is recommended.
