Before- and aftercare Fractional Laser for skin improvement
Before treatment
If the laser is combined with a TCA peel, the skin should be prepared for at least 4 weeks using Dermaceutic products.
For optimal results, you can apply 1% retinol cream (available in our clinic) to your skin at home a few weeks before the treatment.
The treatment should not take place on sun-tanned skin.
Sunscreen with SPF30/50 should be applied regularly; 6 weeks before to 4 weeks after treatment.
Hair in the treatment area may be short, but does not need to be shaved smooth. Shaving is allowed up to 24 hours in advance.
You must not have a cold sore on the day of treatment. In that case, we will make a new appointment.
Please come to the appointment without makeup if it has been applied to the area to be treated.
After treatment
For 24 hours after the treatment, do not take a hot shower, exercise or go to the sauna.
For 3-5 days after treatment, cleanse your skin in the morning and evening only with lukewarm water and pat your skin dry.
On day 2 after treatment, your skin begins to flake. This is a desirable reaction and lasts up to 5 -7 days.
After laser treatment it is recommended to use a soothing post-treatment cream, this is available in our clinic.
Do not use irritating skin care for 2 days after the treatment, but use products without parabens and perfume.
Until 2 weeks after the peeling, it is best to avoid the sun or tanning beds because your skin is fragile. Apply sunscreen with SPF 30/50 to your skin regularly.
You may camouflage your skin immediately with the breathable cream Jane Iredale make up (available in our clinic). This mineral makeup contains no perfumes and parabens and allows the skin to breathe.
Please contact us if your skin blisters or still feels extremely swollen, red, itchy or burning after 3 days.
