• A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimize discomfort.

• Immediately, the skin feels fuller, it glows and is completely clean.
• For best results, undergo 4-6 treatments approximately 2 weeks apart.

To minimize swelling, apply cold compresses (crushed ice or frozen peas in a Ziploc bag or soaked clothes) to the treatment area for 10-20 minutes for every hour on the day of the treatment, until you go to bed. The ice/pea Ziploc bags may be put in a pillowcase and then on the skin if it is too cold. Heat sensation can be intense for the following 2-3 hours after the procedure but will subside within hours. You may also notice that your skin appears bronzed or little dark dots will appear on the treated area. Your skin may feel dry, peel or flake. You may notice a “sandpaper” texture a few days after treatment. This is the treated tissue working its way out of your body as new fresh skin is regenerated. You can apply makeup once the bulk of the redness resolves, usually later that day of treatment.

It is very important that you use sunscreen. The sunscreen should offer broadband protection (UVA/UVB) and have a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or more. You should apply sunscreen 20 minutes before going outside. After that, reapply your sunscreen every 2 hours. If direct sun exposure is necessary, wear a hat and clothing that covers the treated area. Your practice of diligent sunblock use may lower the risk of laser induced hyperpigmentation (darker color) and will ensure you receive the best results from each procedure.

Your skin will be sensitive for the first few days after treatment. Do not use products that will cause irritation during this time. Do not use abrasive scrubs, toners, or products that contain glycolic acids or RetinA. Remember that peeling and/or flaking is normal during the healing process. Therefore, you should use moisturizing creams (Anti-aging B3 moisturizing cream) for moisture and to help with redness.
