The number of sessions needed to achieve visible results varies based on your age, skin condition, and treatment goals. While some patients may notice improvement after just one session, a series of three TriBella treatments is typically recommended for optimal, long-lasting results. Many clients begin to see initial improvements within the first week following treatment.

More noticeable and progressive improvements develop as the treatment series is completed, with optimal results typically visible about three months after the final session. Your provider will create a customized maintenance plan to help preserve your results and may also recommend personalized at-home skincare, along with guidance on supplements and dietary considerations to further support skin health.

To prepare for your treatment, please arrive with clean skin free of makeup, lotions, or creams. Discontinue the use of any products that may irritate the skin, such as exfoliants or active ingredients, for two to three days prior to your appointment. We also recommend avoiding dermaplaning and dermabrasion for at least two weeks before treatment.

Tanning of any kind, including the use of self-tanners, should be avoided before your session. You may be instructed to shave the treatment area in advance if necessary. Please remove all jewelry from the area being treated prior to your appointment. If you have recently received Botox or other injectable treatments, a waiting period of at least two weeks is required before undergoing this procedure.

One session usually lasts around one and a half hours.

During the TriBella treatment, patients typically experience mild warmth and gentle sensations as each technology is applied. The IPL photofacial may feel like a light snapping or warming sensation on the skin, while the radiofrequency tightening delivers a soothing heat as it stimulates collagen production. The resurfacing portion of the TriBella treatment may feel slightly more intense than the other steps. Patients often describe a stronger warming or tingling sensation; however, comfort measures are used throughout the procedure to ensure the treatment remains well tolerated. Most patients find TriBella comfortable, with little to no downtime following treatment.

We strive to make every treatment as comfortable as possible. Sensation levels can vary based on individual tolerance; however, a medical-grade numbing cream is applied prior to treatment to help minimize discomfort. In addition, the applicators feature built-in cooling technology designed to enhance comfort throughout the procedure. While you may experience mild to moderate sensations as the skin is stimulated, most patients find the treatment very well tolerated.

Reduction in sun damage, skin redness, rosacea, and excess bacteria can be seen in a few days after the first session. The skin will continue to improve and rejuvenate for the next few months. With consecutive treatments, the effects will accumulate to show a rejuvenated complexion. As a result, you will enjoy your younger-looking skin for a longer time.

After your treatment, your skin may feel warm and slightly tight, similar to a mild sunburn. Temporary redness or darkening of the treated areas may occur and can last for a few days. You may also notice a rough texture as the skin heals, which can be due to small scabs from the nano RF resurfacing and light crusting from the IPL treatment.

Healing time can vary depending on age and individual skin response; however, many patients find that their skin begins to heal more efficiently with each subsequent treatment. Following all pre- and post-treatment instructions is essential to support proper healing and achieve optimal results.

After treatment, it is important to carefully follow all aftercare instructions provided by your provider to support proper healing and optimal results. Once the skin has fully healed, typically within 24 to 48 hours, daily use of broad-spectrum sun protection with SPF 30 or higher is strongly recommended. During the treatment and healing period, avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and sunless tanning products on the treated areas. Long-term sun avoidance should become a consistent part of your skincare routine to help maintain results.

For the first two to three days following treatment, avoid hot baths, massages, or any procedures that involve direct contact with the treated skin. After approximately one week, a professional facial may be recommended to gently remove residual dead skin, scabbing, or crusting. A VISIA skin assessment may also be performed at that time to evaluate progress and determine whether any adjustments to your treatment plan are needed.

It is recommended to avoid applying any products to the skin immediately after treatment, aside from those specifically advised by your provider. Once makeup use is permitted, typically after a few days and according to your provider’s instructions, proper sun protection should be applied to help protect the skin and support optimal results.
