Skin resurfacing

Yes, The treatment does not target melanin (pigment) and therefore can be used in all skin types safely. The EndyMed 3DEEP radiofrequency technology acts on your skin by heating it at a deeper level, in the dermis, stimulating new collagen production.

The result is firmer, smoother, tighter and fresher looking skin. Because the process stimulates your skin’s normal processes it is safe for all skin types and produces natural, long-lasting results.

For skin resurfacing: During the procedure, small areas of the epidermis are removed which allows new tissue to be formed. This is done using radiofrequency to generate intense heat in small columns. In order to ensure the procedure is comfortable your practitioner will numb the treated area with a topical anaesthetic.

The handpiece will then be applied to your skin, and moved across the treatment area in a regular pattern. The skin under the handpiece will also be heated at a deeper level to help to stimulate new collagen.

A soothing recovery gel is applied to help your skin’s recovery following the procedure. Immediately after you have received the Fractional Skin Resurfacing treatment you will experience some redness, which can last up to two days. You may also develop micro-crusting, as the skin cells renew and the resurfacing takes place. This can last for three to five days.

We recommend the use of high level UV protection, such as a product from the Heliocare range, during and following your course of treatment to help protect your skin.

Repeated treatments will build the long-lasting response, as new collagen is produced. While some patients will see some lasting visible improvements early on, the optimum results are often seen around three months later following a full course of the recommended treatments.

Results can last years depending upon your skin’s particular natural ageing process, although your practitioner will recommend top-up treatments every three to six months.
