Erythema (redness) and edema (swelling) at the treatment site can occur and may last up to 2 hours or longer. A small amount of pinpoint bleeding may also occur.

An ointment like Aquaphor, Aloe or Recovery Balm will be applied to the treated area.

It is very important not to pick, scratch or aggressively wash/scrub the area to prevent

possible infection. Your skin may feel dry and tight (this is normal). You may use calming moisturizers for sensitive skin

for 7 days. Avoid skin care products that could cause irritation (e.g. acne products, retinol).

Avoid sun exposure to reduce the chance of hyper-pigmentation (darker pigmentation). High heat environments should be avoided for the remainder of the day.

Use sun block (SPF 30+) at all times throughout the course of your treatments. You can pick up a free sample of the Alumier MD sunblock, as they are SPF 40-42.

There are no restrictions on bathing except to treat the area gently.

Makeup can be applied the next day.
