Frequently Asked Questions

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

• 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.
• Which treatment is best for acne scars?
  For many people, microneedling or RF microneedling. The right one depends on scar depth and skin laxity, which we assess in person.
• 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 does skin tightening cost?
  It depends on which treatments the plan includes. We price the full plan at your consultation so you see the total before starting.
• How much downtime should I expect after RF microneedling?
  Most patients experience redness and mild swelling for 1–3 days. Small needle marks may also be visible temporarily. We generally recommend avoiding makeup for the first 24 hours and following the post-treatment skincare instructions provided by our physician.
• Is a peel safe for darker skin?
  Peels can be used across a broad range of skin types, but the choice of peel and the preparation matter more for deeper skin tones. That is decided at your assessment – this is exactly where physician supervision matters.
