Prior to acne treatments: clean face with a microdermabrasion or a scrub. This helps reduce acne pustules and reduce blackheads.

How long is a treatment session?  15mins up to 60mins depending on the location and severity of the affected area.

Time Recovery?  No. This is a non-invasive treatment that helps several areas of the body.

Side Effects? Some people have experienced a mild burning or stinging sensation over 30mins. Itching, skin redness, swelling etc. lasting a few hours after treatment. A tightening or firmness afterwards. Acne flare ups due to killing the bacteria which resolves within 48 to 72hrs.

After treatments: it is recommended not to go out into the sunlight for 48hours following treatments due to risk of sunburn due to the skin being treated, healing taking place, and allowing the area to rejuvenate naturally.  It is also recommended to avoid products containing oils or waxes, lotions, makeup etc. for 12 up to 24hrs after treatments.
