Please notify the office if you develop a cold sore, acne, or open lesions in the area you plan to have treated, or if you experience any type of illness prior to your treatment.

POST CARE

If this occurs, do not pick or exfoliate the areas. If on the face, these areas will flake off or lighten on their own over the next week. If on the body, these areas will flake off or lighten on their own over the next several weeks.
- If you experience a burn, gently cleanse the area and use hydrocortisone cream on the area several times a day for the next week. If the burn area opens at all, also use antibiotic ointment on top of the hydrocortisone cream. Please notify the office immediately of any burns. Please use SPF 30 or higher daily on the treated area if exposed to the sun.
- It is ok to resume your normal skincare regimen after 3 days following treatment, or sooner if advised by your technician. Make-up may be applied the day after your treatment, or sooner if advised by your technician.
