Managing Redness and Sensitivity
Redness and mild swelling are common after skin resurfacing and usually improve within the first week. Applying a gentle moisturizer and avoiding direct sun exposure can reduce discomfort and support the recovery process. If your provider recommends specific soothing products, use them as directed for best results.
Protecting Your Skin
Protecting your skin from the sun is crucial after resurfacing treatments. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, even indoors, and wear a hat or protective clothing when outdoors. This helps prevent irritation and ensures your skin heals evenly for optimal results.
Returning to Your Routine
Most clients can resume their usual activities within a few days, but it’s best to avoid strenuous exercise and makeup until your provider gives the go-ahead. Gradually reintroduce your regular skincare products as your skin recovers. Following these guidelines supports a smooth recovery and long-lasting improvements in skin tone and texture.
