What Can Be Expected:

Meticulous wound care is crucial after skin resurfacing; below are the Elite Medical Skin & Laser Center recommendations for follow-up.  After your Skin Resurfacing treatment, please be aware and observe the following:

• Mild to Moderate discomfort, with red or sunburned skin for the first  12-48 hours. 
• Pixel texture and skin flaking will occur for the first 3-5 days post treatment.
• Full recovery in 5-7 days.
• On day 4 if skin is no longer irritated, you may start wearing light makeup… apply mineral makeup only.
• On day 5 you may gently exfoliate. 
• Downtime is decreased with subsequent treatments.

Instructions:

Be certain to adhere to the following post-treatment instructions:

• Clean area with 1 TBSP Vinegar to 1 Cup of Water (can keep in refrigerator for comfort). 
• Apply  Aquaphor after treatment and as needed (skin should look shiny).   

SPF is VERY important post treatment. EltaMD Post-Procedure SPF is recommended & can be put on the day after.
