The extent of downtime and recovery depends on the chosen procedure. Euna provides an explanation for laser treatment, comparing partially ablative lasers to aerating the lawn, while fully ablative lasers are likened to mowing the lawn. Scott mentions that during these procedures, individuals might experience mild pressure, tension, warmth, and mild heat from the device. By day three, spots and blemishes may darken before sloughing off, revealing new, radiant skin by day five.

Micro-needling works differently, as tiny needles create micro-channels in the skin, triggering the body's immune response and promoting new tissue formation with collagen. While resurfacing procedures cause trauma to the top layer of skin, they do not completely damage it. This trauma signals the body to supply nutrients for healing and new growth. To maintain results, resurfacing procedures are typically recommended every six months. For fine lines and wrinkles, a series of microneedling treatments is often preferred. Fractional resurfacing, a less invasive laser procedure, typically requires 3 to 5 sessions every 2 to 6 weeks for optimal results.

Regarding cost, Euna prices their HALO laser procedure at $1,500, while their RF microneedling offerings range from $600 to $1,000 or more. Scott estimates resurfacing procedures to range from $300 to $1,000. Melanie suggests that micro-needling costs around $450 to $750, and laser resurfacing ranges from $400 to $900, depending on the specific treatment.
