Send photos in 4-6 wks so we can follow up to see if you're ready for the next session or if your body needs more time to heal. Some people heal faster/slower depending on your individual body health, metabolism, and lifestyle. If you're healing slowly, your next session will be around the 90 day mark. Do not be put off on this, if that's the case, it's okay!  We need to make sure your body is healing to its full potential before continuing treatment. Be patient. Please note that darker skin types may need 3 to 6 months between treatments to completely heal and encourage proper healing to reduce the risk of strong hyperpigmentation.
