How the serum method works
Each treatment in this serum-based series uses a fine needling approach to work a specialized serum into the scarred skin. The technique is intended to encourage the skin’s natural renewal processes and to help soften the visible texture and discoloration of raised, indented or discolored scars. No pigment is implanted during these treatments.
Because scars differ by age, depth and prior treatment, outcomes vary and usually unfold across multiple appointments. The three-session bundle keeps your plan straightforward and helps clinicians monitor changes between visits, allowing adjustments to technique or placement of serum. Committing to the series supports continuity without adding any pigment to the treated area.
What a session involves
A typical visit focuses solely on the scarred area: the clinician uses finely controlled needling to introduce the serum into targeted tissue, following a brief assessment. Each appointment in this package runs approximately 45 MINUTES, allowing focused work on the scar and time for brief planning between sessions. No pigment is applied at any point.
Sensations vary, and clinicians will discuss what you might feel during treatment and afterward. Because the pack is designed for clients committed to improvement, scheduling the three sessions up front simplifies follow-up and reduces administrative booking. Many Elmhurst clients take advantage of early-morning, late-evening or weekend appointments to fit treatments around commuting or work.
Aftercare, timing, and travel
Follow the aftercare instructions your clinician provides to support normal healing and the best possible monitoring between sessions. That guidance typically focuses on gentle skin care, protecting the area from prolonged sun exposure and avoiding aggressive topical treatments while the skin stabilizes; your clinician will tailor recommendations to your scar and skin type.
Plan visits with local logistics in mind: Elmhurst’s transit options make after-work bookings convenient, and nearby spots such as Queens Center Mall or Flushing Meadows Corona Park are useful for pre- or post-appointment plans. The three-session pack costs $500 and each appointment lasts 45 MINUTES, so consider travel time when setting consecutive visits.
