Post care
Day of treatment
- You may feel warm or sunburned for 2 to 4 hours or more after treatment.
- Swelling, redness, and a mild to moderate sunburn feeling are common for 1 to 3 days.
- Use a cool misting spray or a sterile cool compress (not ice) to ease the heat.
- Once the sunburn feeling fades, apply a light, non-stinging moisturizer (hyaluronic acid or cream-based).
- If a product burns for more than a few minutes, or burns badly, wash it off with a mild cleanser, rinse with cold water, and tell your provider.
- Keep the area moisturized. Reapply every 3 to 4 hours until the “sandpaper” texture settles, usually 5 to 7 days.
Post care
5 to 7 days after
- After the first 24 hours, use a zinc or titanium mineral sunblock. Avoid heavy sun for 2 weeks.
- No makeup for 2 to 5 days.
- Wash with a gentle cleanser morning and night, blot dry, and do not scrub. Wash your hands often and avoid touching the treated area.
- Sleep with your head slightly raised. Use a clean pillowcase and change it often. Keep alcohol to a minimum while you heal.
- Avoid exercise, sweating, heat, saunas, and hot tubs for 2 to 4 days.
- Do not use exfoliants (AHAs or BHAs) or any other product or procedure on the texture for 5 to 7 days.
- Keep the treated area away from anything that could cause problems, such as dirt or pets, as your provider advised.
