Treatment cannot be done on sun tanned skin. Avoid sun or tanning beds for 6 weeks prior to treatment.
Sunscreen with SPF30/50 should be applied regularly; 6 weeks before to 12 weeks after treatment.
If the eyes are treated, wear sunglasses in addition to sunscreen to prevent sun tanned skin.
On the day of treatment you may not have a cold sore. In that case we make a new appointment.
A treatment by injectables or fillers should be at least 3 months ago.
Wearing contacts is not allowed during the treatment of upper and lower eyelids. The days after treatment, wearing contacts is also not recommended.
When wearing artificial eyelashes they should be removed at least 2 weeks prior to the treatment (upper and lower eyelids).
The treatment cannot take place during pregnancy and / or breastfeeding.
Come to the appointment without make-up.
After treatment
For at least 8 hours after treatment, do not wet the scabs (do not shower).
In the morning and evening, 8 hours after treatment, apply the wound cleansing spray to a gauze pad and clean the area by dabbing carefully. Continue doing this daily until the scabs all gone. You will be given the wound cleanser after the treatment.
To reduce the risk of infection, do not go to the sauna or swimming for 7 days after treatment.
Wash and disinfect your hands regularly, especially if you have pets.
Do not scratch or rub the treated area.
Do not use make-up on the treated area while the scabs are on it.
Do not use a coolpack to cool the skin. This slows down the healing process and decreases collagen production and reduces treatment results.
After 1 week - when the scabs have disappeared - apply K-ceutic SPF 50 daily, every 3 hours for up to six weeks after the treatment (even if the sun is not shining).
The plasma dots that have appeared on the skin during the treatment need several weeks to recover.
In case of reaction, take a painkiller such as Paracetamol.
In case of severe swelling, antihistamine (hay fever) tablets may be swallowed (available from chemists or pharmacies).
A check-up takes place 2 and 8 weeks after treatment.
