Microneedling with Laser Resurfacing
I had an initial consultation with Flavia and Molly to discuss my skin goals, which included achieving firmer skin and reducing dark sun spots. They provided me lots of great information and ultimately recommended the Total Skin Solution, which consisted of three sessions combining two devices: Genius RF microneedling and LaseMD laser resurfacing, performed in each session.
When I went in for the first session, I was nervous, but Molly is so sweet and caring and put me at ease right away. Each session takes 2 hours, because you go in first for an hour of numbing gel on your face. After you're good and numb, you get the microneedling done first. I'll admit that can be intense at times. The numbing gel helps a lot, but you do still feel some areas. But it's over quickly! Then comes the laser, which is no big deal after getting the microneedling. It just feels like a bit of static.
After the session, my skin looked slightly sunburned for the first day, but it's not too noticeable. The next day, it's a little red and itchy, but again, not too bad. You can go out and no one will notice anything.
I waited 4-6 weeks between each session, and the results happen over the next 3 to 6 months and should be long-lasting (hopefully!). After my second session, I noticed the spots were already much lighter, and some firming had occurred in my jawline and face. I just finished my third session and will return in three months for pictures so that we can compare the before-and-after results.
I would recommend this procedure for anyone seeking to significantly increase collagen and reduce sun spots. I would also highly recommend Avalon - everyone is so nice there and very knowledgeable about skincare.
