# UltraClear Post Care Instructions

## What Should I Expect?

Your skin's response to UltraClear laser treatment will depend on the intensity of your treatment, your skin concerns, overall skin health and individual healing response.

Redness, swelling, warmth and temporary grid-like markings are normal following treatment. More intensive treatments may require a longer healing period.

**Redness and Swelling**

- Redness may last a few hours following lighter treatments or persist for 10–14 days (sometimes longer) following more intensive treatments.
- Swelling is common immediately after treatment and may last several days. It can be more noticeable around the eyes, particularly the morning after treatment.
- Your skin may feel very warm for the first 12–24 hours.

**Grid-Like Markings and Skin Renewal**

- Small, grid-like markings may be visible immediately following treatment.
- While redness typically fades, textured markings may remain visible for a week or longer as the skin heals.
- Healing may take up to two weeks on areas such as the neck, chest or body.
- Do not scratch, pick or attempt to remove these markings.

**Other Temporary Reactions**

- Pinpoint bleeding may occur, particularly following more intensive treatments, and can last from a few hours to approximately 12 hours.
- Mild itching may develop during healing.
- Patients prone to acne may experience temporary breakouts following treatment.

## What should I do after treatment?

**Keep Your Skin Moisturized**

Keeping the treated area moisturized is an important part of the healing process.

- Apply only the skincare products recommended by your treatment provider.
- Reapply your recommended moisturizing or recovery products as directed to support the skin during healing.
- SkinCeuticals Advanced RGN-6 may be recommended as part of your post-treatment skincare routine.

**Manage Swelling and Discomfort**

- Cool compresses may help relieve warmth, swelling and discomfort.
- Sleeping with your head slightly elevated on the first night may help minimize swelling.
- Over-the-counter pain relief, such as Tylenol, may be used as directed if needed, unless your physician advises otherwise.
- If an antiviral medication has been prescribed, continue taking it as directed.

## What should I avoid?

**During the Healing Process**

- Do not scratch, pick or exfoliate the treated skin. This may increase the risk of scarring, pigmentation changes or infection.
- Avoid retinoids, AHAs, BHAs and physical exfoliants until your skin is completely healed, for a minimum of 7 days.
- Avoid introducing skincare products that have not been approved by your treatment provider.
- Avoid applying makeup before your provider has advised that it is safe to do so.

**Returning to Your Regular Skincare Routine**

Following lighter treatments, some patients may be able to resume their usual moisturizer, sunscreen and makeup within 24–48 hours.

However, more intensive UltraClear treatments may require a longer recovery period.

**Always follow your provider's specific instructions before resuming your regular skincare routine.**

## When should I contact Dermetics?

- Fever or other signs of infection
- Blistering or unexpected changes in the treated area
