Candidacy and pause signs
Usually considered for: Adults wanting low-risk maintenance. Not a treatment for scars, laxity, melasma, or medical acne.
You have active rosacea, open lesions, a sunburn, recent resurfacing, or you cannot see the serum ingredient list.
Operator, setting, and regulation
Who performs it in the U.S.: Licensed estheticians and medical-spa staff trained on the device.
Regulatory status: Check the device in FDA's databases; the serums are cosmetics and are not FDA approved. Marketing language such as 'medical-grade' is not a regulatory term.
Rules differ by state and by country. A product approved in one market may be unapproved in another, and the same device can be used within or outside its cleared indication.
Questions to ask before you pay a deposit
- Which serum is included, and what is in it?
- What change should I expect after one session versus a series?
- How is the handpiece cleaned between clients?
