After Your Treatment
CLEANSING : Cleanse the skin two times a day with plain, lukewarm water
and a gentle cleanser, beginning the morning after the treatment. Use your
hands and gentle patting motions. DO NOT rub, scrub, or use an exfoliant or
skin care brush such as a Clarisonic on the treated area. Stop exfoliating
cleansers and retinol for 1-2 weeks post-procedure.
MOISTURIZER : Moisturizer should be applied generously with clean hands
over the treated area and reapplied whenever your skin feels dry. DO NOT apply
any other products that were not instructed by your doctor – eg. essential
oils, coconut oil, etc.
SUNSCREEN : Sunscreen is a MUST and should be used daily beginning the
day after treatment and used consistently for up to 3 months post-procedure.
Use a physical sunscreen with Broadband UVA and UVB protection and a SPF of
30. Ensure to reapply during sun exposure.
WATCH-OUTS
For general post-treatment discomfort, an over-the-counter oral pain reliever, i.e. Extra Strength Tylenol might be prescribed by your doctor. If an anti- viral was prescribed, continue to take it as directed. Avoid scratching and itching, as scarring and pigmentation complications can occur. Itching can be relieved by oral Benadryl but can cause drowsiness.

What to Expect & What You Should Do
Feeling of Warmth
What to Expect : The treated area may be extremely warm for 1-2 hours
after the treatment. Warmth may continue for 12-24 hours after the treatment.
What to Do : Cold compresses may provide comfort during this time. Also,
a mineral water spray might provide some relief and much-needed moisture to
the skin.
Redness (Erythema)
What to Expect : Redness is normal and expected. Redness generally
increases in intensity for the first few days after treatment with day 3
usually being the most intense. Redness can persist for up to 7 days depending
on the intensity of treatment.
What to Do : Use gentle cleansers and keep your skin moisturized and out
of the sun which will allow your skin time to heal and limit further stress on
your skin.
MENDs
What to Expect : MENDs (microscopic epidermal necrotic debris) will
appear on the 2nd or 3rd day after treatment as tiny dark spots and bronzed
appearance to the treated skin.
What to Do : MENDs are part of the healing process where treated tissue
works its way out of your body as new fresh skin is regenerated. During this
time, your skin will be very dry and feel like sandpaper before flaking and
peeling off. Keep your skin well moisturized to support the healing process.
Do not pick at your skin.
Possible Side Effects
Swelling (Edema)
What to Expect : Swelling is common and expected immediately after
treatment.
What to Do : The use of a cold compress will help to relieve the
swelling. To avoid further swelling, you may choose to sleep in an upright
position the first 2-3 nights after the treatment. The first morning post-
treatment is when swelling is more prevalent, especially under the eyes.
Swelling may last 2-4 days.
