Since several treatments address different concerns at the same time, the treatment will depend on your aesthetic goals and the degree of your condition. For example, IPLs can be used for reducing acne, acne scars, sun spots, and vascular lesion. In cosmetic surgery, the mummy makeover is a combination of different surgeries for fat removal, breast augmentation, and tummy tuck. Consult with Cosmetic Refresh to know which procedure is right for your cosmetic concern.

The duration depends on the treatment but most skin treatments only take a few minutes to a few hours. Cosmetic surgery may take up to a couple of hours and may require longer preparation before the procedure. The staff at Cosmetic Refresh will make sure to apprise you before your scheduled treatment.

The number of treatments and frequency for each application depends on the severity of the condition and the type of treatment. Skin treatments may need 4-8 sessions with monthly applications. Dermal fillers may need follow up sessions every 6 to 12 months. Cosmetic tattoos generally only need one session with touch ups every couple of months to a few years.

There may be no downtime at all for certain skin clearing treatments. IPLs usually need a minimum of 2 weeks before exposure to sunlight. Cosmetic surgical procedures will require some limitation of activities for a few weeks and surgical wounds may take some time to heal.
