Effects included: improvement in skin texture, increased elasticity, brightening of facial complexion reduction of wrinkles, smoothing of fine lines and an overall feeling of rejuvenation.
For maximum benefit it is recommend that a patient undergo a full course of treatment. The length of a course of treatment varies depending on severity of the chief complaint, age and patient compliance.
