Pre-Treatment Instructions

Stop retinols/retinoids/active ingredients one week prior.
Avoid extended sun exposure or tanning salon/lotion for at least three weeks prior.
Inform your provider of any medical conditions or medications that may affect wound healing or bleeding or make you sun-sensitive.
Notify the provider if you have an active cold sore/fever blister or are prone to cold sore/fever blisters.

Post-Treatment Instructions

Apply Aquaphor ointment as directed by the provider.
After the healing is complete, a rich moisturizer or cream may be used.
Please contact the office if you have excessive itching upon application of these products listed above.
You may apply cool compresses immediately after treatment. Some patients report a “hot” feeling, which can last a few hours to a few days.
You can gently wash the area with tepid water mixed with a small amount of white vinegar. Then immediately re-apply occlusive ointment or moisturizer.
Vinegar soaks may be applied to calm the burning sensation and reduce the possibility of infection. Mix 1 tablespoon white vinegar with 1 pint of warm water. Wet a soft cloth or gauze and soak the treatment site for 15 minutes with the diluted vinegar solution.
You may shower, but avoid hot water/steam on the treated area.
Do not pick or aggressively scrub the skin. The skin will gently exfoliate during the washing process. Avoid mechanical exfoliation for 4 weeks.
Sleeping with your head elevated on two pillows the first few nights can help minimize swelling.
Avoid direct sun exposure. Wear a protective hat or visor the first 2 weeks while outdoors. Apply sunscreen when skin has healed.
Mineral make-up may be used on day 2 or after skin is healed.
