WHAT TO EXPECT:

Immediately after treatment (first few hours):

• The treated area may look pink or slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn.

• You might feel a light tingling, mild heat, or tenderness in the area.

• Mild swelling can also occur, depending on the area and the type of skin irregularity treated.

Days 1–3:

• Small scabs, crusts, or darkened spots may appear over the treated imperfections — this is completely normal.

• The skin may feel slightly dry, tight, or itchy as it begins to heal.

• Redness generally fades, but treated spots might look darker before they naturally flake away.

Days 4–14:

• The scabs or crusts will gradually lift and fall off on their own — do not pick or scratch them.

• As new skin forms, the area might look lighter or pinker; this usually blends into your natural skin tone over time.

• The treated area should start to look clearer and smoother once fully healed.

AFTERCARE:

• Gently cleanse the area with a mild, fragrance-free cleanser.

• Pat dry with a clean towel — do not rub.

• Small scabs or crusts may form where imperfections were treated — this is normal. Do not pick, scratch, or peel them, as this can lead to scarring or pigmentation changes.

• Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 1–2 weeks.

• Skip hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and intense workouts that cause sweating.

• Avoid harsh skincare products like retinoids, scrubs, acids, or peels for about 5–7 days.

• Avoid makeup over the treated area for the first 24 hours, or until redness and tenderness subside.

COMMON QUESTIONS & ANSWERS:

Q: What will my skin look like right after?
A: The treated area may appear pink or slightly red and might feel warm or tender. Small scabs or crusts may form over treated spots within the first day.

Q: Is there downtime?
A: Downtime is minimal. You may have small scabs, crusts, or darker spots where the treatment was done — these usually heal and flake off naturally within 7–14 days.

Q: Can I wear makeup afterward?
A: It’s best to wait at least 24 hours or until any redness has subsided before applying makeup over the treated area.

Q: Should I do anything special after treatment?
A: Yes — keep the area clean and dry, avoid picking or scratching scabs, use a gentle moisturizer, and protect your skin from sun exposure with SPF 30+.

Q: When will I see results?
A: As scabs fall off and the area heals over 1–2 weeks, you’ll notice clearer, smoother-looking skin. Full results may appear as your skin continues to renew.

Q: Are the results permanent?
A: Treated imperfections are permanently removed, but new ones can form over time due to sun exposure, genetics, or aging. Maintenance treatments may be helpful.
