Post-treatment care is crucial for optimal healing and results. Here's what to expect and how to care for your skin.

​

First 24–48 Hours:

​

• Your skin may feel like a mild sunburn—red, tight, and sensitive. This is normal.

 

• Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area.

 

• Do not apply makeup for 24–48 hours.

 

• Avoid sweating, saunas, hot showers, and workouts for at least 24 hours.

 

• Do not wash your face for the first 8–12 hours post-treatment.

 

• When cleansing, use only a gentle, non-active cleanser—no exfoliants or scrubs.

 

• Apply soothing, hydrating products as recommended by your provider (e.g., hyaluronic acid, recovery creams).

 

Days 2–7:

 

• Mild flaking or dryness may occur—this is part of the skin renewal process.

 

• Continue using gentle, hydrating products—avoid retinoids, acids, or harsh ingredients.

 

• Avoid direct sun exposure, and apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily.

 

• Do not pick, peel, or scratch your skin as it heals.

​​

Maintenance & Long-Term Care

 

• Results continue to improve over 2–4 weeks as collagen production increases.

 

• A series of 3–6 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, is recommended for best results.

 

• Continue using sun protection daily, as UV exposure can interfere with skin renewal.

 

• Avoid harsh treatments (peels, laser, waxing) in the treated area until fully healed.
