Actions To Avoid Following Laser Resurfacing

Potential Skin Irritants

After the procedure, the skin will be sensitive and might feel somewhat irritated. Avoid any irritants that could harm your skin. Do not use active ingredients like alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids, or retinol. Also, avoid direct sunlight or UV rays while your skin is healing.

Picking Or Rubbing Impacted Areas

As previously mentioned, the skin may be irritated and a bit more sensitive than usual for a couple of weeks following the procedure. However, do not rub or pick at irritated skin. Doing so could cause the development of skin infections, scarring, and unsatisfactory results.

Avoid Strenuous Activities

For the first couple of days following your laser treatment, avoid doing any strenuous activity that could cause sweating. This could irritate the skin and make inflammation worse.

It is important to remember how sensitive the skin is after treatments with lasers. Treat your skin well by keeping it hydrated, clean, and protected from harmful substances.
