AFTER CARE FOR PIXEL SKIN RESURFACING
After your Laser treatment, it is very common for the area to feel warm. The area will have Erythema (redness). This will last a few hours but we do have anti inflammatory mineral make up for the face to hide any redness.
Immediately After Treatment:-
It is normal for the treated area to feel hot and tingly (like a sunburn). The microscopic pixel marks may also be visible on close inspection of the skin.
Normal Post Treatment Reactions:-
-
Sunburn like heat and sensation in skin
-
Redness and slight swelling for 2-4 days
-
Peeling within 4-6 days
In some cases post treatment reactions may persist for a longer period. If this occurs, continue with aftercare instructions until the skin has settled.
Clients should see instant results, but it takes 3-6 months for the full effects to be seen.
For the next 24-48 hours:
-
Avoid all heat treatments such as:
Hot showers/baths
Excessive exercise etc
-
Do not touch, pick or scratch the area.
Avoid all perfumed soaps and cream
For two weeks:
