How Long Do Affirm Laser Treatments Last?

Question

Just had Reaffirm treatment on my neck, and it was recommended I do 5 more treatments. How long would the results of Reaffirm last? I find the price I was quoted with discount, quite pricey. Thank you

Affirm laser treatments will turn back the clock. Collagen
production is stimulated and the dermis becomes thicker and more hydrated.
Elastic fiber production is stimulated from the treatment as well. This gives a
firmer, tighter and smoother appearance to the skin.

I tell my patients that the treatment will turn back the
clock, but obviously will not stop the clock from continuing to move forward. This
is just as if you set your watch back 2 hours. The clock still moves forward,
but never races to catch up to the time it was originally. To put it another
way, if your appearance after the treatment makes you look 10 years younger,
then you will always look 10 years younger than you would otherwise if you had
not had the treatment in the first place. I hope that helps.

Thank you for your question. The Affirm laser is a fractional resurfacing technology to remove wrinkles, improve skin texture and pigmentation. After 10 days of treatment you should see some skin tightening. Please make sure you seek treatment from a board-certified specialist.

Thank you for your question. Refirme treatments are best when performed in a series as suggested to you as this will produce the best result. The treatment results will require maintenance as the aging process continues to slow down collagen production, damage collagen and ravel up the elastin fibres. Usually after a series of treatments I recommend that patients have a treatment once a season to stimulate the collagen production and maintain the results from the original package of treatments.
