Frequently Asked Questions
What is Smart Microablation and how is it different from fractional laser?
Smart Microablation uses needle-free fractional radiofrequency to create microscopic channels of controlled heat in the skin. Unlike ablative laser, it doesn't rely on light absorption by pigment, so it's considered safe across Fitzpatrick I - VI with a lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
How is this different from EXION RF Microneedling?
RF Microneedling uses physical needles to deliver RF into the dermis, best for deep collagen remodelling and acne scars. Clear RF Resurfacing is needle-free and works at the epidermal-to-mid-dermal level to improve texture, tone, and pore size. Many clients do both as part of a treatment plan.
What does recovery look like day by day?
Day 1: pink, warm skin similar to a mild sunburn. Day 2-3: fine bronzed crusting that you should not pick. Day 4-5: natural sloughing reveals smoother, brighter skin. Most clients return to work on day 3 with mineral makeup.
How many sessions will I need?
A course of 2-3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart delivers the best outcome for texture and tone. For deeper resurfacing goals, your practitioner may recommend up to 4 sessions.
Can I have this in summer?
We can treat you year-round, but strict sun avoidance and SPF 50+ are essential for 4 weeks afterwards. If you plan beach travel, we recommend scheduling at least 2 weeks before departure or waiting until after.
