Post-treatment instructions
As fractional laser resurfacing affects the top layer of the skin, you may experience redness, itching, and edema for 3-4 days. On the day of the treatment and the following day, you may also experience some edema, primarily around the eye area. No wounds or bleeding will occur, so dressing is not required.
About 7-10 days after the treatment, the skin becomes dry and painlessly peels off, revealing a new layer of skin. The new skin is initially pinkish and highly sensitive to external factors, so we recommend staying indoors and avoiding UV radiation. The color of the new skin gradually fades.
Makeup should be avoided for 2 weeks after laser skin treatment. Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and sauna use for 4 weeks as they increase the activity of pigment-producing cells, leading to the development of pigment disorders. Apply a minimum SPF 30 sunscreen for at least 6 months. If possible, avoid smoking, as nicotine slows down the regeneration process and impairs wound healing.
