Scheduling three sessions of Venus Viva 4 weeks apart. If collagen hasn’t begun to regenerate, will this affect results?

Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

For collagen regeneration, Venus Viva sessions should ideally be scheduled four weeks apart. It's important to provide collagen enough time to naturally recover between treatments; this usually takes several weeks. Several sessions done too quickly may reduce the treatment's effectiveness since collagen takes time to respond and recover. The schedule of sessions can be optimized for stimulating collagen regeneration and improve the overall results of Venus Viva treatments. You can monitor your skin's response and discuss with your skincare expert to be sure of this.
