Post-Treatment Care

You may experience some of the following:

• Quick warm showers are recommended. Avoid prolonged hot baths.
• Aerobic exercise, use of saunas and hot tubs should be avoided for 24-48 hours.
• If the skin is broken or a blister appears, apply an antibiotic ointment and notify us. The area should be kept lubricated to prevent crusting or scabbing of tissue.
• Cold packs, aloe vera or any other cooling preparation may be used to ease temporary discomfort.
• Prolonged sun exposure is to be avoided for 4 weeks before and after treatment. A total sun block, not a sunscreen, should be applied if it is impossible to comply. If further treatment is needed a commitment to stay out of the sun is necessary. Sun exposure may cause certain complications (possibility of blistering and/or hyperpigmentation).
• Makeup can be applied as long as the skin is not broken. Makeup can also serve to protect the skin from sun exposure.
• If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at (913) 588-6701 without hesitation.
