Post-Treatment Aftercare — The First 72 Hours

First 24 hours

Skip makeup, heavy workouts and hot showers. Keep skincare minimal — a gentle cleanser and a fragrance-free moisturizer is enough.

Days 2 — 3

Reintroduce SPF every morning without exception. Avoid retinoids, AHAs and BHAs for at least 48 hours, longer if your therapist has advised so.

What to avoid

No saunas, steam rooms or chlorinated pools for 72 hours. Heat and chemical exposure can compromise freshly treated skin.

When to call us

Persistent redness beyond 48 hours, unusual swelling, or any blistering — call the clinic. These are uncommon but always worth a quick check.
