This depends on your skin concern. For acne scarring, melasma, and pigmentation, a series of 4 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is typically recommended. For overall skin rejuvenation and maintenance, 4 to 6 sessions spaced about 12 weeks apart is a common approach. Your provider will advise a plan based on your skin at your consultation.
