Aftercare Instructions
Immediately after treatment 0-48 hours:
-
Do not touch, rub, or apply any non-recommended products to the treated area.
-
A mild stinging or tingling sensation is normal for a few hours post-treatment. You may use a cold compress to soothe the area—ensure a clean barrier (e.g., cloth) is placed between your skin and the compress.
-
Gently cleanse with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free cleanser if needed. Pat dry with a clean towel - do not rub.
-
Avoid heat and sweating: no hot showers, saunas, intense exercise, or spa treatments.
-
Keep the area dry and makeup-free.
-
Redness and small bumps in the treated area are normal and may last several days.
1-5 Days Post Treatment:​
-
Continue to avoid heat, direct sun exposure, and harsh skincare products.
-
Apply SPF 50+ daily, even indoors or near windows.
-
Do not use active or irritating products, including:
-
Hydroquinone
-
Bleaching creams
-
Tretinoin or retinol
-
Benzoyl peroxide
-
Chemical peels

Glycolic or salicylic acid
(Avoid for at least 2 weeks post-treatment.)
-
-
Moisturise with a soothing, non-irritating moisturiser (e.g., ceramide-based or aloe vera-based).
-
Stay hydrated - drink plenty of water to support skin recovery.
-
Avoid rubbing or friction on the treated area for at least three days.
-
Allow skin to heal naturally: do not pick, scratch, or peel any flaking or scabbing.
-
Change your pillowcases regularly to avoid introducing bacteria to the healing skin.
