POST TREATMENT CARE ACNE

• Cold compresses or chilled gel packs may be applied post treatment.

• If a blister develops, treat as a wound.

• Avoid sun exposure and use a broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen to minimize the risk of PIH (Post

Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation).

• Bruising, redness, and swelling are common and resolve with time.

• Avoid heat (hot tubs, saunas, etc.) for 1-2 days post-treatment.

• Avoid skin irritants (i.e., products containing tretinoin, retinol, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic/salicylic acids,

astringents, etc.) a few days post-treatment.

• Request that the patient contact your office with any concerns, such as blistering, excessive

redness/swelling, etc.
