There is something about parenthood that gives us a sense of history and a deeply rooted desire to send on into the next generation the great things we have discovered about life. And part of that is the desire to instill in our children the love of science, of learning.

The procedure can be performed usually in a quick treatment session. The length of time is dependent on the area being treated. Typical treatment for face and neck can take upwards of 30 minutes. During the treatment, you will feel a slightly warm sensation, and some pressure in the areas where the treatment proceeds. A topical anesthetic is applied 90 minutes prior to the procedure to ensure patient comfort. You will notice some swelling and redness for a few days. Depending on the aggressiveness of the treatment, the redness may last somewhat longer. In most cases, healing occurs in three days to a week. Makeup may be applied after 48 hours. Results can be seen after the first treatment with maximal benefits 12 weeks out and with continued treatments. Your skin will continue to improve for about six months after the final procedure. Maintenance of a good topical skincare regimen is crucial. 

It is recommended to have 3 treatments spaced at least 6 weeks apart. For preventative treatments (younger individuals wishing to prevent the signs of aging) one may be all that is needed. Some people may prefer one very aggressive treatment as opposed to a series of three. Maintenance treatments may be required.
