Laser Genesis POST-CARE INSTRUCTIONS
● Apply a cool pack (not frozen) to the treated site immediately after treatment. Cool packs are applied for 10 min with a 10 min interval for approximately 2 hours or needed.
● Moisturize with Aloe Vera gel or any light fragrance-free moisturizer, after the first 48 hours.
● Use high factor sunscreen, SPF 45 or higher. A good sun block will contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide and will protect against both UVA and UVB rays.
● The first 5 days following treatment, care should be taken to prevent trauma to the treated site. Avoid hot baths, massage, and exercising.
● Avoid using skin irritants, Retin-A, Benzyl Peroxide, Glycolic Acid, and astringents on the treated areas. Chemical peels are not recommended throughout the treatment series.
● Don’t tan after treatment. Tanning after treatment may cause hyperpigmentation.
● Apply 1% hydrocortisone cream to the treated area every 12 hours for the first 48 hours.
● If scabs appear after blistering, they should be kept soft with a lubricating cream. Blistered or ulcerated skin may be treated with an antibiotic ointment or burn treatment cream.
● If bruising occurs, avoid picking at it. Picking can cause scarring. Once the scab falls off, the skin may be lighter, or darker. This usually resolves over a few months. There will be an obvious color difference from the unburned skin.
● Fillers or other injectables should not be done within 2 weeks before/after treatment, or at the discretion of the physician.
