Your skin is absolutely precious, and you should treat it right. Part of that means keeping it in shape with regular skin treatments, and supporting those at-home with medical-grade skincare products. Are you interested in getting laser resurfacing, but don’t know how to care for your skin after a laser treatment?
Radiant Divine Medical Spa is an established Cleveland-area destination for beauty and skin treatments, as well as medical-grade skincare products and more. We take a customized approach to each client, using a one hour consultation to understand your concerns and goals.
We’ll talk you through every single aspect of caring for your skin after resurfacing and make sure you’ve got the products you need.
Side effects of laser resurfacing treatment
After a C02 laser resurfacing treatment, the skin will appear red, and there will be some irritation and swelling. This should subside within a couple of days. For all laser peel treatments, the skin will naturally flake, crust, and peel away. The peeling process typically lasts 3 to 5 days. There is a difference between facial lasers when it comes to the intensity of their side effects and their results.
Caring for your skin after laser resurfacing treatment
The top rule after treatment: DO NOT pick or peel your skin. This could create lasting damage, including scars. It is crucial to avoid interfering with the healing process and to protect your skin from environmental exposure to evade scarring!
You definitely don’t want to do any shaving, waxing, epilating, or use any depilatory creams on your treatment area. Seriously, that hurts just to think about.
We will also recommend an ointment to help soothe and heal your skin with effective and nourishing ingredients.
Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher, avoid direct sun exposure for at least 3 months after your last treatment, and wear a super cute wide-brimmed hat when you’re in the sun. Rachel was right, hats are back.
