Post Care Instructions: Nano Peel

It is recommended to discontinue the use of any topical retinol/ Retin-A 7 days prior to treatment.

What to expect post treatment:

• The treated area will feel hot and sensitive immediately after treatment lasting into the next day.
• The treated area can be very red for 1-3 days and some dark waffle marks may appear on the surface of areas treated.
• You may experience a sensation of tightness and itching that can last from 1-7 days. 
• The skin in the treated area will begin to get flaky and peel 2 days post treatment. These symptoms can last up to 7 days. 

How to care for the areas after treatment:

• Epidermal repair will be applied directly after treatment.
• Continual application whenever the skin feels tight and itchy is recommended.
• Application of cream can sting for the first day. This sensation will usually subside by the second day. 
• Cooling the area throughout the first day with ice packs is recommended. 
• Once skin begins to flake, you can gently massage skin with a damp cloth in the shower when the skin is moist.
• It is not recommended to force flakes off by peeling or picking. They will release themselves over the next 3-7 days.
• The dry flaking of the skin will often worsen after day 2-3 and will lessen as the week goes on.
• Regular cleansing of the skin and regimen can commence 1 week post treatment.
• Makeup can be worn 2-3 days after treatment.
• Loose minerals are recommended to be mixed into epidermal repair to help minimize redness and inflammation.
