What to expect:

Use ice packs and aloe vera in the treatment areas if you are experiencing discomfort. Redness and swelling may persist from hours to days. It may be alleviated with tylenol or ice.

Caring for your skin:

Apply Vaseline to the treatment area to prevent drying or crusting and to soothe skin.

If blistering or crusting occurs, do not shave for 1-3 days.

Avoid hot baths and whirlpools for 1 week post treatment.

Avoid vigorous exercise (exercise that makes you sweat profusely) for 1 week post treatment. Walking is encouraged.

Avoid sun exposure & tanning beds throughout the course of treatment and use an SPF 30 or higher sunblock when exposed.

If you are applying makeup to the treatment area, apply gently. Avoid excessive rubbing, which can increase chances of irritation or scarring.

If there are concerns about blistering or infection (redness, tenderness, or pus), please send a photo to Dr. Michelle Le immediately at 408-887-0552.
