- There will be slight redness, sensitivity, soreness, mild swelling and/or little red blood blisters immediately after each treatment. This is normal, so do not touch the area, except to cool it with any ice pack or iced water.
- Apply ice pads if necessary to promote comfort. This may be necessary for the first 2 hours.
- Keep treated areas dry for 24 hours. Do not shower or wash the area if possible.
- Avoid exercise for 24 hours (to prevent increased heat and temperature to the treatment area, especially in summer).
- No swimming for 3 days (chlorine and salt aggravates the treatment areas and can increase sensitivity).
- If the treatment area develops a scab, please allow the scab to fall off on its own. Do not pick at the skin as doing so may cause hyper-pigmentation, infection and/or scars.
- Remember to purchase MEDI-Powder (antibiotic powder) as you will need it throughout the course of your treatment to help with quicker healing. You will need to apply it twice a day for at least 3 days or up to a week depending on the size of your treatment areas.
- If working outdoors, apply Vit-E crème with 30+ sunscreen offered for sale at this clinic. It will help to reduce laser radiation and improves the healing, while keeping the area protected from photosensitivity. Your following treatments will be more comfortable.
