Avoid touching your face to prevent introducing bacteria to the treated area.
Keep the skin clean and free from makeup, sunscreen, and skincare products except for those recommended by your provider.
Use only lukewarm water to cleanse the skin and gently pat dry with a clean towel. Avoid harsh rubbing.
Expect mild redness, sensitivity, and tightness similar to a mild sunburn. This is normal and should subside within 24-48 hours.
Avoid direct sun exposure and heat, including saunas, hot showers, and vigorous exercise.
First 24 Hours
Continue using a gentle, hydrating cleanser without active ingredients.
Apply a soothing moisturizer as directed to help with healing and reduce dryness.
Do not use makeup, retinol, acids, or exfoliants. Your skin is highly sensitive and needs time to recover.
Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and support healing.
First Week
Use sunscreen daily (SPF 30 or higher with physical blockers like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide). Your skin will be more sensitive to UV exposure.
Avoid direct sun exposure and wear a hat when outdoors.
Do not pick, scrub, or exfoliate peeling skin to prevent irritation and scarring.
Continue avoiding harsh skincare products, including acids, vitamin C, and retinoids, until your provider advises resuming them.
What to Expect Over Time
Days 3-5: Mild dryness and flaking may occur as new skin cells emerge. This is a natural part of the healing process.
Week 1: Skin will appear brighter, smoother, and more even in tone.
Weeks 2-4: Collagen production increases, and results continue to improve.
Multiple treatments may be needed for optimal results, depending on your skin concerns.
If you experience prolonged redness, irritation, or signs of infection, contact Azure Dream MedSpa for further guidance. Proper aftercare will enhance your results and ensure a smooth recovery.
