Prior to treatment please avoid:
- Sun exposure, tanning bed, sunless tanner x 2 weeks.
- Filler, wrinkle relaxer, chemical peels, laser treatments near appointment. (discuss timeline with provider).
- Excessive caffeine, alcohol, fish oil, NSAIDs (such as aspirin & ibuprofen), and vitamin E 2-3 days before and after treatment to minimize potential for bleeding/bruising.
- Stop retinol and use of active ingredient products (Benzoyl peroxide, Salicylic acid, Glycolic acid, ect) 2-3 days prior to treatment.
What to expect day of treatment
- Please arrive with a clean face– no make-up, lotions, powders or perfumes.
- Arrive at the office at scheduled appointment time. We will take photos and apply topical numbing for 30-60 minutes depending on the treatment area.
- After numbing we will begin treatment targeted to your specific concerns and needs.
- Some discomfort is expected but we have multiple tools to help guide you through the treatment.
Post-care
- Immediately after treatment, most patients will experience erythema (redness) for 1-3 days, however for more aggressive treatments this may last longer. Slight to moderate edema (swelling) and a mild to moderate sunburn sensation are also common post treatment and may last 1-3 days. Skin may crust and peel for 2-7 days depending on treatment settings.
- Before discharge a topical ointment may be applied to the face. No bandages or wraps are necessary.
- There are no restrictions on bathing except to treat the skin gently, avoid scrubbing or trauma to the treated area.
- Avoid sun exposure to reduce the chance of hyperpigmentation.
- The use of a zinc oxide sunblock SPF 30+ at all times after 24-48 hours.
- Multiple treatments over a period of several months may be required to achieve the desired response.
- Avoid icing the area for 48 hours.
Itching is a common reaction when resurfacing the skin. New skin cells are growing, which can cause an itching sensation. This is more common to happen on the body. We ask you pat the area instead of itching it with your nails. You can take an antihistamine (Benydral, Zertec) to help reduce the histamine response. Your provider may recommend you pre-treat prior to your next treatment. Keeping the area hydrated with aquaphor will allow for quick healing time. A vinegar soak (please refer to our clinical vinegar soak directions for reference) can sooth the inflammation as well. The itching should subside in 1-3 days. Please speak to your provider if it continues.
Treatments are done every 4-6 six weeks.
Numbness should subside after 4-6 hours.
This is going to vary from patient to patient and depend on what you use in your daily skincare regimen. This is best to address with your provider. However, gentle skincare is okay after 6-12 hours after treatment. Gentle cleansers, moisturizers, and light makeup is typically okay to do the very next day. Please follow up with your provider regarding your regimen details.
