You may experience redness, swelling, itching and/or burning sensations for a few minutes up to 48 hours. You may apply aloe vera, hydrocortisone cream 1%, cold compresses or antibiotic cram if needed. Avoid direct sunlight. Wear sunscreen with spf 30 or higher. Do not apply makeup to the treated area until all the redness has subsided. Avoid soaking for 24 to 48 hours. No hot tubs, whirlpools or baths, but showers are okay. Avoid excessive sweating for 24 to 48 hours. No saunas or vigorous working out. Avoid irritants, such retin-a, retinol, renova, glycolics, bleaching creams and exfoliants for one week. Do not wax or pluck any hairs between treatment sessions. Shaving and trimming is okay. Do not manipulate the skin on the treated areas. If crusting or scabbing develops, allow it to fall off on its own so not to damage the skin beneath. After the treatment (up to 3 weeks) some hair may seem to be re-growing. This is usually the elimination of the hair that remained under the skin and is not true re-growth. You may exfoliate with a sponge in the shower or with a soft washcloth or towel when you get out of the shower as long as your skin is not sore or irritated.
