After fractional CO2 or Erbium laser treatment, your skin will be red, swollen, oozing, and may pin-point bleed for 1-3 days and then gradually decreases. Discomfort will gradually decrease after 1-2 hours. Aftercare for CO2 and Erbium laser resurfacing and RF microneedling For the first week after each treatment: ● Gently wash your skin at least two times daily using a mild facial cleanser ● Rinse or shower your face, wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner as needed ● Apply generous amounts of Cicalfate cream (Avéne) or Cicaplast cream (La Roche-Posay) more times daily. These creams are developed for post-laser skin care. ● Makeup can be used when the skin has healed. ● Keep your skin cool – but not cold. Avoid hot showers and sauna. ● Keep your skin clean. Avoid dust, dirt, and contaminated skin contact ● No picking, let crusts peel off by themselves. To reduce the risk of skin infection, we may deliver antibiotic tablets (Azithromycin 500 mg) for you.
