Dr. Emer says the device can help create collagen and tighten the skin almost instantly. Before the procedure, the skin is numbed and Dr. Emer says patients usually only feel a small shock. He says this treatment as very minimal downtime and notes the healing time can be increased if combined with platelet-rich plasma.
As for risks, Dr. Emer says any type of energy-based skincare treatment can result in scarring or bumps, and he stresses that people seek out an expert and also do the proper pre-treatment skincare prep and to also only do these treatments conservatively.

He says patients will continue to build collagen for 3 to 6 months and each treatment costs $500 to $1000 dollars per area, per treatment.
