POST-PROCEDURAL CARE - DAY 1 TO 5
The healing time for any given treatment varies between different clients. The following represents the general recovery phases youmight expect. Individual clients may experience variations from this course.
Swelling/Discomfort/Redness:
Swelling of your wrinkles occurs immediately. Significant swelling and redness of the treated areas and untreated parts may occurfollowing your procedure, and will be maximal at 24 - 48 hours. To minimize swelling, keep your head elevated. It is not uncommonfor clients to experience under-eye swelling for the first 1 to 2 days, but this swelling will subside. There will be redness and slightheat emanating from the treated area for the first 24 hours, akin to a mild sunburn. It is unusual to experience severe or excessivepain; you should notify us if this occurs. Tiny scabs will usually be formed 24 - 72 hours post-treatment, and may remain for several
days. The scabs should not be touched or scratched even if they itch, and should be allowed to shed off naturally.
Activity:
Some mild discomfort may occasionally follow resurfacing treatment. You may return to regular activities immediately. It is advisedthat you avoid hot baths, saunas, Jacuzzis, and pools for the first two days following treatment, as the bacteria common to thesesites can affect the skin post-resurfacing and cause an infection. Some minor heat emanating from the treated area is normal, but
please do not apply ice or cooling compresses, as that heat is the body’s natural healing response.
Moisturizer:
Post-treatment care, including applying of moisturizers or supporting creams on the treated skin, is at the Physician’s discretion.
Make-Up:
After 24 hours, most resurfacing clients are ready for makeup to hide the pinkness of the skin. If applied, it is important that youremove all makeup from the skin at night. Do not sleep with make up on the treated area.
Avoiding the Sun:
Avoiding direct sun should become a permanent component of your long-term skin care program. Always use an SPF 30 or greaterbeginning 24 - 48 hours after the skin has fully healed. Sun exposure, tanning beds, and artificial sunless tanning lotions are notallowed in the treated areas during the course of the treatment and healing.

In addition to avoiding direct sun exposure, we suggest all clients use long-term skin care that will optimize the youthful, rejuvenatedappearance you have achieved.
