When Can I Expect Results?
For sebaceous tapping we notice a decrease the occurrence of breakouts 3 weeks later and a decrease in the appearance of the size of the pimple in 1 week.
Is There Another Procedure I Can Add On Or Combine For Better Results?
For Acne Prone Skin Types we recommend combining this procedure with our diode face laser for optimal results.
We recommend face laser as we thin out and kill the hair follicle. Acne originates in the hair follicle, if the hair follicle is reduced we have a lower chance of reoccurring acne.
If the skin is suffering with heavy stubborn congestion we recommend a DUO treatment in combination with Vitamin A Stamping or Six Star Peel.

Possible side effects include redness on the pimples that have been tapped after the procedure that decreases after a week. Possible inflammation of the pimple for a few days post procedure.
Can be minimised by using resilient pigment serum and clinical calming cream from double bay cosmeceuticals.

You should use the at home peel kit once a month as part of the skin cell cycle every 4-6 weeks and maintain your normal skincare routine if you are unable to make it to the clinic every 1.5-3 months.
Otherwise make sure to schedule your maintenance appointments in advance every 1.5-2 months to keep up your youthful glass skin.
