For 2 days after treatment, you should avoid saunas, hot tubs, jacuzzis, and anything else that causes excessive heat. For 2 weeks following your procedure, use only non-irritating and non-clogging skin-care products. Scrubs, toners, glycolic acid, retinoids, and bleaching creams could all adversely affect your results.
It’s also critical to apply sunscreen every time you go outside for at least three months after your treatment. Use a sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher. Apply it 20 minutes before you go out, then reapply it every two hours. A wide-brimmed hat can also help protect you from the sun.
