- Patients describe a range of sensations from tingling to the snap of a rubber band during the procedure.
- Typically, there is no downtime and you can return to your daily activities immediately following the procedure.
- Since our hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are often recommended for desired results. Other factors that influence this include hair color, texture and area being treated.
