These sensations will gradually diminish over the course of the week post treatment as the skin returns to its normal appearance. However, some patients may react differently. For example, in severe cases the skin may turn very red, blister, swell and later scab and crust. The skin may be uncomfortable and look like a very bad sunburn. The peeling usually last about three to seven days, although it may last longer.

  • For 48 hours you should avoid exposure to UV light and heat i.e sauna, steam, sun beds, hot showers, strenuous exercise etc, as this may increase discomfort and swelling
  • Keep the area cool with a cold compress, but don’t apply ice which can cause injury
  • Try to avoid unnecessary pressure over any areas treated, especially in the first 24 hours
  • Gentle massage, as directed by your practitioner, is recommended for optimal distribution and to help prevent lumps. Swelling and bruising are common and should subside within a week.

 

Reduce the chance of infection:

  • Do not apply make-up for approximately 6 hours unless it is mineral based.
  • Wash your hands immediately post procedure
  • Do not touch your face in the areas injected for 6 hours
  • Use clean facecloth and pillowcase post procedure.
