My last series was 5 Lumenis One treatments, once a month for five
months. The results didn't kick in significantly until about the 4th
treatment. I'm trying to remember, but I think after three I had maybe
a 25% improvement? But after the 4the and 5th I had another 50% or so
improvement. Even my IPL doc told me I wouldn't see significant
results until around 3 or 4 treatments. This was important. I
understood that we had to be patient and thorough.
My doc (Dr. Coor) is great at analyzing my skin's reactions and adjusting settings as he went. Sometimes he could do more, sometimes he had to back off. Sometimes he used a few zaps from a different tool or laser. So, I was willing to tack on an extra treatment or two if needed in order to be cautious.
Cheers!
