How long do the effects of non-ablative laser resurfacing (clearlift) last?

October 15, 2017
Asked By:elizabethG11 in Los Angeles, CA

I am 34 years old and three months ago I got a non-blative laser resurfacing treatment done. My face has gradually developed so much collagen over the past three months that it looks like I have chipmunk cheeks. How long will this effect last? How long will this collagen last? Will it ever completely go away?
