First
6–8 Hours

What to expect

Your skin will likely feel warm and look flushed, similar to a mild sunburn — this is completely normal. Please don't apply anything to the treated area during this window, including makeup, SPF or any other products. SPF can be applied only after 24 hours.

First
24 Hours

Skin care

Only apply the hydrating serum provided to you — avoid touching, washing or applying any other product to the treated area. Sleep on a clean pillowcase, preferably on your back.

48 Hours

To avoid

Exercise, saunas, swimming and anything that induces heavy sweating
Hot showers — lukewarm water only, with gentle pressure
Anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen, which can interfere with your skin's natural healing response

Day
3–5

Flaking & peeling

Your skin may feel dry and tight, with light flaking or peeling — this is a normal part of healing. Please don't pick, peel, rub or scrub. Keep the area lightly moisturised and be patient.

5-7
Days

Full healing

Any minor scabbing or redness should have resolved by now. Once flaking has subsided, you can resume your regular skincare routine — if you're still peeling, give it a little longer before starting back on actives.
