Re: Ideal or average number of Photoderm treatments?

[Guest guest]

No number of treatments will probably get rid of ALL the redness and

flushing. The ideal number of treatments to get rid of the maximum

percentage of it (often very high percentage, between 70-90%) varies from

practioner to practioner. Based on the settings, and machine, and other

factors. Each person's case is different. I'd say in most cases, anywhere

from 5 to 13 treatments. An average of around 7, 8 or 9

As far as I know, there is really no set amount - or magic number.

Everyone has varying degrees of redness and flushing, as well as

different skin types. Add to that, different practitioners with

different techniques, etc,.... I've heard the average is 9 to 12,

but I know of several who have had over 30, and some who needed only

5, with an annual touch-up. A very good, but difficult question to

answer!

Most people have a course of at least 5 treatments. Some people with

extensive sun damage need up to 12 to see much improvement. I've had

nine and will probably have one more and then stop. My case was

pretty severe, but the most dramatic improvement in the permanent

redness occurred with the first 3 treatments. Treatments one and two

drastically improved the color. The subsequent treatments have each

brought improvement with flushing and skin sensitivity (i.e., trigger

tolerance, etc) and slight improvement with the color. It varies so

much by individual but I think most would agree the most significant

improvement occurs with the first 5.
