- Avoid Sun Exposure: Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for a few days before the procedure. Sunburned or tanned skin can increase the risk of complications.
- Stop Using Certain Products: Discontinue the use of retinoids, exfoliants, and other aggressive skin treatments (such as chemical peels) 3-5 days before the procedure. These can make your skin more sensitive.
- Hydrate: Ensure your skin is well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water and using a good moisturizer.
- Clean Skin: Arrive at the appointment with a clean face. Avoid applying makeup, lotions, or other skincare products on the day of the procedure.

Before Care Instructions
After Care Instructions
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Continue to avoid direct sun exposure for about a week after the procedure. Wear a hat and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher when you go outside.
- No Makeup: Avoid applying makeup for at least 24 hours post-procedure to reduce the risk of infection and irritation.
- Gentle Skincare: Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer for the first few days. Avoid products containing alcohol, retinoids, or exfoliating agents until the skin has healed (usually about a week).
- Hydrate and Nourish: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and help your skin heal. You can also use a hydrating serum recommended by your practitioner.
- Avoid Sweating: Refrain from intense exercise, saunas, and hot baths for at least 24-48 hours, as sweating can irritate the skin and increase the risk of infection.
- No Picking or Scrubbing: Do not pick at or scrub the treated area. Let any peeling or flaking skin fall off naturally.
- Follow-Up Appointments: Attend any follow-up appointments scheduled by your practitioner to monitor your progress and address any concerns.
- Be Patient: Understand that the healing process varies from person to person. It may take several days to a week for the initial redness and swelling to subside and up to several weeks to see the full benefits.
What to Expect + Common, But Mild Side Effects
- Redness and Swelling: Generally, the redness and/or swelling from treatment dissipates in a few hours, but it's not uncommon to experience redness and swelling similar to a sunburn for a few days after the procedure.
- Sensitivity: Your skin may feel sensitive or tight for a few days
- Minor Bruising: Some minor bruising can occur, especially around the treated areas.
