Session intervals are 4 weeks and 1-3 sessions are applied. After the procedure, the person can continue his daily life. In the first place, darkening and a slight redness on the face can be seen in the spots. While the redness may last for 1-2 days, after 10-15 days, the spots begin to open. It is important to be protected from the sun in this process, so the application can only be done in winter and in periods when the sun is ineffective.
