• Clients can resume normal activities immediately after their session. A sensation like sunburn is often observed, if clients feel particularly aware of the treatment area over the counter anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen can be taken.
• Do not pick, peel or pull at skin. Wait for skin to recover naturally. This period of visually not looking 100% is worth the wait! The area treated must be kept free of all make up, mascaras, creams and lotions other than recommended aftercare products.
• Cleanse the area twice daily with mild soap and lukewarm boiled water to avoid build up of bacteria. No alcohol-based cleansers as this can slow healing.
• Expect some swelling for one to five days after treatment – recovery times are generally shorter than this. This is a normal reaction, and part of the initial stages of the skin healing & rebuilding. Typically swelling is at its worst on day 3 and will have subsided by day 5.
• To prevent scabbing, clients should keep the area moist using aftercare products, and supplementing their diet with additional vitamin C.
• As the area heals and dries, a light crust can form on the skin. Do not pick, and keep clean and dry.
• You must wear SPF50 and stay out of the sun 6+ weeks to avoid sun burn.
