A mild sunburn-like sensation is expected. This usually lasts 2 to 24 hours but can persist up to 72 hours.

A mild swelling and/or redness may accompany this, but usually resolved in 2 to 3 days.

Apply ice or cold packs to the treatment area for the 10 to 15 min every hour for the next 4 hours, as needed.

An oral, non-steroid anti-inflammatory, such as acetaminophen may be taken to reduce discomfort. Use

according to manufacturer’s recommendations.

In some cases, prolonged redness or blistering may occur. An antibiotic ointment may be applied to the affected

areas twice a day until healed.

Bathe or shower as usual. Treated areas may be temperature sensitive.

Until redness has completely resolved, avoid all of the following:

Applying cosmetics to treated areas.

Swimming, especially in pools with chemicals, such as chlorine.

Hot tubs and Jacuzzis

Activities that cause excessive perspiration.

It is imperative to use a sunscreen/sunblock with SPF 20 or higher and avoid direct sun exposure for at least a

week

Do not pick or pull on any loosening or peeling skin. This could potentially cause hyperpigmentation.

Do not have electrolysis, facial waxing and/or depilatories for approximately 14 days after.

It is recommended that other topical, over-the-counter medications or alpha hydroxy acid products not be

applied to the skin 7 days post procedure, as they may cause irritation. For Pigmented Lesion

The lesion may initially look raised and/or darker with a reddened perimeter

The lesion will gradually turn darker over the next 24 to 48 hours. It may turn dark brown or even black.

The lesion can progress to scabs/crusting and will start flaking off in 7 to 14 days. Do not pick, scratch or remove

scabs.

The lesion is usually healed in 21 to 30 days. It will continue to fade over the next 6-8 weeks.

For Vascular Lesion Treatment

The vessels may undergo immediate graying or blanching, or they may exhibit a slight purple or red coloring. The vessels will fully or partially fade in about 10-14 days. Do not pick, scratch or remove scabs.
