FAQ
Common Questions
Patients Ask Most.
No. Cosmetic laser and energy-based treatments are not known to cause skin cancer. Screening still comes first here. Catherine reviews your skin history in full and examines the skin itself at your consultation. If a mole or a patch needs a medical opinion, it gets one and the treatment waits. Sun protection afterward still matters.
Yes, when the procedure is matched to the concern. Non-surgical skin tightening asks your own collagen to rebuild, so the change arrives over weeks and builds gradually. What gets weighed is how much laxity is present against how well your skin still holds its quality, because those two answers point to different devices and to a different order of treating them. Catherine uses Vivace RF microneedling, the NOUVAderm laser and Agnes RF alongside medical-grade skincare for laxity and early jowling. Non-surgical firming has a ceiling, and laxity past it is a matter for surgery. Many people notice early change after one session, with firmer skin building over the following weeks.
Some of them soften dark spots and even out tone. None of them bleach your complexion. Vivace RF microneedling is the one Catherine reaches for most often where discoloration and texture sit together, and your own color stays yours. Whole-body lightening is not something offered here. Before anything pigment-focused is started, your natural tone is assessed, because the wrong setting on deeper skin can leave darkening behind. Which device suits your skin is decided in person, and visible brightening comes from a planned series with daily sun protection.
It depends on the device and on how far a single session is taken. Most people have some redness and warmth afterward, and how long it lingers tracks the depth worked at. A light pass across a broad area behaves differently from a deeper one over a small pocket. With Agnes RF the area is numbed first and treated one pocket at a time. If you have a wedding or a trip on the calendar, tell Catherine at your consultation. She will keep the first session light and add at your follow-up, so the recovery fits the time you have. The depth for each pass is set after Catherine examines your skin.
Laser and RF both put heat into the skin at a depth that is set for each patient, which leaves a small, controlled injury behind. Your body answers by laying down new collagen, and almost none of that is visible on the day it starts. Vivace RF microneedling carries radiofrequency in through a microneedling tip and covers a broad area. Agnes RF concentrates that same energy in an insulated tip fine enough to work on one small fat pad. The NOUVAderm laser is the one Catherine reaches for when texture is the problem. Some skin does better with two of them run together, and NOUVAderm has been combined with Vivace. Which device, or which pair, is decided in person, after Catherine has looked at your skin and heard what has already been done to it.
