Post-Procedure Skincare Guide Emphasizes Gentle Healing and Sun Protection

Skin treatments make small, controlled changes so the body can repair the skin.

During healing, the skin may feel warm, tight, swollen, flaky or sensitive.

Different treatments need different care, so a dermatologist’s instructions are more important than general online advice.

For the first day or two, avoid touching, rubbing or adding unapproved products.

Clean the area gently only when the clinic says it is allowed.

Do not pick flakes, crusts or scabs because this can slow healing.

Avoid heat, swimming, sweaty exercise and irritating skincare until your clinician says they are safe.

Use sun protection when approved, because sunlight can worsen redness and colour changes.

Call the clinic if symptoms get worse instead of better or if you develop signs such as pus, fever or spreading redness.
