The treatment area should be kept moist at all times. Use Aquaphor multiple times a day to keep the area moist.
Sun exposure should be nil until all peeling has stopped.
Wash the treated area with an ultra gentle cleanser twice a day starting in 24 hours.
If available, use of a cool mist humidifier will help keep the area moist.
You may take 800mg of Advil or 1000mg of Tylenol every 6-8 hours with food for pain and swelling.
Do not use Retin-A or glycolic acid for one month after the procedure. Be sure to check your moisturizers for Retin-A or glycolic acid in the ingredients.
Use ice wrapped in a cotton cloth as needed for pain and swelling.
We advise that you place a towel on your pillow when sleeping at night to prevent the Aquaphor from getting on your sheets.
Once the area heals, redness may persist for a few days. To cover this up, we recommend you use a green skin primer after moisturizing. Apply concealer and foundation on top of primer. We recommend Dermablend Smooth Indulgence Redness Concealer.
If you took a sedative:
No driving for 24 hours.
Do not drink alcohol for 24 hours.
Be careful walking as your gait may be unsteady.
Do not work around an open flame or hot device for 24 hours.
Do not engage in any activities that require your concentration.
