laser post-treatment care

(ultra, clarity 2, morpheus8, vascular, laser hair removal, keralase, pigmentation)

morpheus8 & lutronic ultra:

• We highly recommend ensuring you have at least 1-2 days set aside for your recovery.
• The treated areas will look red/“sun burnt” - this is a normal anticipated reaction to treatment. This usually resolves within 24-48 hours post treatment. 
• You may experience some minor swelling, particularly around the eyes. 
• You will likely go through a “sand paper-y” period of healing where your skin will feel rough to the touch & some minor shedding/flaking may occur. This typically resolves in about 1 week for the face & up to 2 weeks for the neck/body. 

vascular/pigmentation:

• The treated areas will go through a red/swollen stage that typically lasts 2-7 days on average. Most people will start to see their results within 1-2 weeks post treatment. 
• You may potentially experience some scabbing/blistering during your recovery stage. This is a normal reaction however it may not happen to everyone. 

what to avoid post treatment:

• Avoid excessive heat/friction to the treated areas for 48 hours. Ie; No working out, hot showers, pools, saunas, etc. **You can shower however please be mindful of the temperature of the water. 
• Avoid makeup application to treated areas if applicable for 5-7 days. **Excludes Laser Pigment, Laser Vein & Laser Hair Removal
• No sun exposure on the treated areas for at least 2 weeks.
• Avoid retinol/tretinoin/hydroquinone use as well as AHA/BHA’s (Salicylic, glycolic, lactic acids, etc) to the treated areas for a minimum of 1 week OR until your skin is clear of visible signs of healing. 
• Avoid any hair coloring/bleaching for a minimum of 1 week after your service if the face/neck was treated **Applicable for Morpheus8, Lutronic Ultra, VI Peel & Keralase
