How Many Laser Treatments Do I Need to See Results?
One of the most common questions we get at Platinum Cosmetics is:
“Will I see results after one session?”
The answer is: sometimes yes — but often, laser results build progressively.
Most Fotona laser treatments work best as a course of sessions, with improvements unfolding gradually as your skin regenerates and produces more collagen.
Here’s what to expect based on the treatment type.
Fotona 4D (Full Face Collagen & Lifting Treatment)
Recommended: 3–5 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart
Maintenance: 1–2 times per year
Results build across the course and continue to improve for weeks after the final session
SmoothEye (Laser Eye Rejuvenation)
Recommended: 3–5 sessions for best results
Maintenance: Every 6–12 months
Gentle and needle-free, ideal for crepey skin and fine lines around the eyes
LipLase (Laser Lip Plumping)
Recommended: 3–4 sessions, spaced 2–3 weeks apart
Maintenance: Touch-up every 6–9 months as needed
Results are natural and subtle, gradually improving definition and hydration
Pigmentation Reduction (Laser for Sun Spots & Uneven Tone)
Recommended: 2–4 sessions depending on depth and type of pigmentation
Maintenance: Top-up annually, especially if you’re prone to sun damage
Best results when combined with daily SPF and professional skincare
Fractional Resurfacing (Texture, Scarring, Pores)
Recommended: 2–3 sessions for mild concerns; 4–6 for deeper resurfacing
Maintenance: Every 1–2 years depending on skin goals
Downtime may vary based on intensity
NightLase (Snoring Treatment)
Recommended: 3 sessions, spaced 3 weeks apart
Maintenance: Annual touch-up may be advised
Many clients notice improvements after the first session, but the full effect takes time
Why So Many Sessions?
Unlike fillers or surgical options, laser relies on your body’s natural regenerative processes. It works gradually to:
Stimulate collagen
Improve tone and texture
Reduce pigmentation and vascular concerns
Spacing treatments allows your skin to recover, rebuild, and respond — leading to more sustainable, natural-looking results.
Your Plan Will Be Personalised
Not everyone needs the full number of sessions. Some clients respond more quickly; others have deeper concerns that benefit from a longer approach.
