Mild swelling, redness, and tenderness (like a sunburn) is normal for up to 7 days post-treatment, but these simple steps will jump start the healing process as soon as you leave the clinic.
Keep the treated area clean and dry. If area is covered with non-adherent dressing after treatment, remove before bed or maximum 12hrs
Avoid heat for 24hrs (including hot showers and vigorous exercise)
Avoid sun exposure to the treated area
Do not pick or scratch the treated area
We do not recommend applying petroleum based ointments to the treated area (Aquaphor, Vaseline, A&D Ointment, etc.)
Hydrate. Drink lots of water to help flush your lymphatic system
Contact us immediately if you get blisters larger than the size of a dime or swelling/pain persists for more than 7 days.
