Get answers to common questions about Time Machine Facial.

Yes, it’s generally suitable for most skin types when performed by a trained professional. We assess your skin during consultation to customize treatment. Some conditions like active infections, severe rosacea, or recent isotretinoin use may contraindicate the procedure.

Downtime is minimal; mild redness or sensitivity typically lasts 24–72 hours. Most clients resume normal activities the same day with gentle care. Full results develop over several weeks as collagen remodeling and skin renewal continue.

A series of 3–6 treatments spaced four to six weeks apart is commonly recommended for optimal collagen stimulation and cumulative improvement. Maintenance sessions every 3–6 months help preserve results, depending on skin condition and lifestyle.

Most clients experience a mild prickling or tingling sensation as micro-spicules work; topical numbing or calming serums can minimize discomfort. Sensations are brief and tolerable, with soothing cooling and post-care to reduce irritation.

Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, and direct sun exposure for at least 7 days. Use gentle cleansers, broad-spectrum SPF, and hydrating serums recommended by your therapist. Keep skin hydrated and avoid intense workouts or heat treatments for 48–72 hours.
