Common questions
Does it hurt?
With numbing cream it is very tolerable — most patients describe a vibrating, prickly sensation, more noticeable on the forehead.
How many sessions for acne scarring?
Usually four, sometimes six for deeper scarring, spaced four to six weeks apart. It is a course, not a single treatment.
