Proper aftercare is essential for faster healing and optimal results. Follow these steps after your treatment:

Immediately After Treatment:

🔹 Expect redness, warmth, and mild swelling, similar to a sunburn.
🔹 Cool compresses can be applied to ease discomfort.
🔹 Keep skin clean and moisturized using a gentle, hydrating product recommended by your provider.
🔹 Avoid touching or picking at the skin to prevent infection and scarring.

First 24-48 Hours:

✅ Keep skin hydrated with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer.
✅ Use a mild cleanser (no exfoliating agents) to gently wash your face.
✅ Avoid excessive sweating, exercise, hot showers, or saunas to prevent irritation.
✅ Do not apply makeup for at least 48 hours to allow the skin to heal.
✅ Stay out of direct sunlight and apply SPF 30+ daily.

Days 3-7: Peeling Phase

🔹 Your skin will start to flake and peel as new skin emerges. This is normal!
🔹 Do not pick or scrub the peeling skin—allow it to shed naturally.
🔹 Continue applying moisturizer to keep skin hydrated.
🔹 Avoid using active ingredients like retinoids, vitamin C, or acids until your provider approves.

Week 2 and Beyond:

✅ Most redness and peeling should subside.
✅ Resume your normal skincare routine, but introduce active ingredients slowly.
✅ Full results develop over 3-6 months as collagen rebuilds and skin continues to improve.
