Post Treatment Guide
1. Keep the Area Clean
Gently cleanse the treated area with a mild, non-irritating cleanser. Avoid harsh products for the first 48 hours.
2. Use Gentle Skincare Products
Stick to gentle, non-active skincare products for a few days. Avoid retinoids, acids, or any exfoliating agents for one week post-treatment.
3. Moisturize
Apply a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated and promote healing. For 1-2 days post-treatment, we recommend Aquaphor.
4. Avoid Makeup
Refrain from applying makeup for at least 1 or 2 days after the treatment to reduce the risk of irritation and infection.
5. Avoid Sun Exposure
Protect your skin from direct sun exposure. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Wear a hat or protective clothing when outside.
6. Avoid Sweating
Skip intense exercise, saunas, or hot showers for at least 48 hours, as sweating can irritate the treated area and impede healing.
7. Hydrate
Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out, which can aid in the healing process.
8. Allow for Downtime
While downtime is minimal, it’s wise to schedule the procedure when you can avoid sun exposure and have time to rest, especially if any redness or swelling occurs.
