What to Do After Your PicoSure Pro Treatment?
Gentle Cleansing after your treatment
-
Clean the treated area at least once daily using cool water and a mild, non-irritating
soap. Gently pat the area dry without rubbing or scratching.
For 2 weeks after your treatment
-
Avoid sun exposure for at least 2 weeks to prevent slower healing and hyperpigmentation. Use a mineral sunscreen designed for post-procedural skin.
Avoid Disturbance after your treatment
-
If crusting, scabbing, or flaking occurs, do not pick or scratch the area. Apply a gentle moisturizer 2-3 times daily to keep the skin hydrated and support healing.
Skin Care Postponement after your treatment
-
If you have oily or acne-prone skin, wait 24 hours before applying topical products.
Managing Discomfort after your treatment
-
To ease discomfort, use Post-PicoSure Face Masks, Calm & Renew Recovery Serum, or cold gel packs. You may also take acetaminophen for pain or an antihistamine (e.g., Zyrtec) for itchiness. Avoid placing ice packs directly on the skin. Please avoid using ice packs directly on the skin.
Activity Limitations for 7 days after your treatment
-
Refrain from tanning, contact sports or activities that might injure the treated area for the next 7 days. Also, avoid swimming, soaking, or hot tubs/whirlpools until the skin has fully healed.
Product Usage Caution for 7 days after your treatment
-
Avoid using skin-sensitizing products like Tretinoin, Retinol, or AHAs for at least 7 days, unless directed by your provider. These ingredients may be used between treatments if recommended and may be beneficial for your skin.
Observing Treatment Effects
-
Mild redness, swelling, or "frosting" of the treated area is normal. Pinpoint bleeding or blisters may occur—do not pick or pop them.
Temporary Darkening after your treatment
-
It is common for the pigmentation to get darker or "patchy" before improvement.
This is normal and may take 8 to 10 weeks to resolve.
Infection Watch after your treatment
-
If you notice signs of infection, such as increased
redness, tenderness, or pus. ​Contact your provider immediately at (808) 501-1117.
