Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to commonly asked questions by patients seeking treatment with Skin Rejuvenation.

• Does it hurt?
  Numbing cream is applied first. Most patients feel warmth and pressure rather than pain. The neck and jawline can be more sensitive than the cheeks.
• How much downtime is there?
  Usually redness and mild swelling for 1–3 days, similar to a sunburn. Many patients return to normal activity the next day.
• Will I actually peel?
  Light peels often cause little visible peeling. Medium peels usually do, for several days. We tell you what to expect before we start.
• Is it an injection?
  No. The exosome serum is applied to the skin immediately after microneedling, as part of the same visit.
• Can you lift my brows without surgery?
  Often, yes. A few units of wrinkle relaxer in the muscles that pull the brow down can give a subtle lift. Combined with RF microneedling on the forehead the effect is usually stronger.
• Is treatment safe for darker skin?
  Microneedling and RF microneedling can be used across a broad range of skin types, and peels are chosen with extra care for deeper skin tones. Suitability is decided at your assessment.
