We are heading into Laser Season!👉🏻🍂😍
So here is a bit of information and education as you all consider anti-aging treatments and anticipate their results! Understanding the process helps…
What Are MENDs?
If you have been assessing how effective fractional laser treatments such as Clear + Brilliant, Moxi, Pro-Fractional and/or BBL-Broadband Light (AKA photofacial) treatments are at treating skin for enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, acne, scarring, fine lines, and other issues, you’ve undoubtedly come across the acronym MENDs.
The term is often characterized with descriptors such as “coffee grounds,” “sandpaper,” “dark spotting,” “crusty,” “flakey,” “reddened,” “swelling,” or perhaps the more clinical sounding term “epidermal debris.”
This certainly does not come across as very appealing. Especially given that the procedure is for beautifying your skin. However, MENDs represent your body’s core response to the treatment and is a clear sign that the treatment is working.
As the MENDs clear, your aesthetic results will emerge. The results will continue to keep improving long after you have forgotten about them.
For facial treatments, it can take up to 7-10 days for the flaking and peeling process to remove all MENDs. For other parts of the body, such as the neck, chest, etc it can take up to two weeks.
Once this process is done, your skin will have a pink, rosy glow that will gradually fade. You should also notice a reduction in the skin imperfections targeted as well as overall improvements to your skin’s texture and tone.
Aesthetic enhancement of the skin will continue to improve in the ensuing weeks and months. This is due to the body’s continued response to the treatment and collagen stimulation and remodeling.
