Your Treatment Process
Step 1: Consultation
Step 2: During the Treatment
Step 3: Post-Treatment Care
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess your skin’s condition and determine the most effective treatment plan. We’ll discuss your acne history, lifestyle factors, and desired outcomes.
The Cutera Xeo laser delivers precise energy pulses to the skin, targeting the sebaceous glands and acne-causing bacteria. A thin layer of gel may be applied for comfort and protection. Most clients experience a gentle warming sensation during the procedure.
There’s no downtime, and you can resume your normal activities immediately. We’ll provide you with tailored aftercare instructions to enhance your results and keep your skin protected.
