Following treatments, the treated areas may feel irritated and display redness. A scab or crust may form over the area as it heals.
- Be caution with scabs. Do NOT pick, scratch, or prematurely remove scabs to prevent skin damage such as hyperpigmentation or scarring.
- Apply an anti-bacterial ointment or powder the evening following treatment if irritation persists in the treated areas.
- Protect with a bandage if friction can cause irritation to the treated area.
- Avoid touching or washing the treated area for 24 hours.
- Keep treated areas dry for the first 24-48 hours post treatment.
- Avoid direct sunlight on treated areas and use sun protection if the sun is unavoidable.
- Use a minimum 30 SPF sun protection every day, all year round.
- Use mild, non-stimulating cleansing products for washing.
- Pat skin dry rather than rubbing to prevent premature removal of scabs and irritation of the treated areas.
- Apply mineral/remedial makeup only post treatment. Avoid use of all other makeup on treated area for 24 hours following treatment.
- Avoid peeling and other forms of exfoliation or bleaching products for a minimum of 21 days following treatment.
