It is recommended alongside another treatment. Redness settles between immediately and a week, which is how long it takes for the light and heat to aid circulation and let the inflammatory response resolve. Rather than booking it as standalone upkeep, it is more efficient timed to other treatments.

Added right after a laser treatment, it settles redness faster. Heated skin has an elevated inflammatory response, and aiding circulation resolves it sooner. Reaching the whole face evenly, with less variation than hand-applied care, is another advantage. It is therefore timed to a treatment day rather than booked as standalone care.

The difference is a dome device over the face emitting light and heat evenly, reaching places hands cannot. Hand-applied care varies in intensity by area, whereas here the whole face receives the same conditions. It is worth checking the specifications with the clinic.
