Post-Laser / Post-Chemical Peel Regimen
While many of the most commonly used laser treatments and chemical peels do not often result in scarring, a good post-operative regimen may ensure optimal results from your procedure and minimalize side effects.
- Immediate post-operative comfort practices include ice-packs to decrease swelling and post-operative pain, if present.
- Gentle cleansing with a non-irritating cleanser and warm water (may be done by padding with a washcloth) is recommended 2-3 times a day, but be cautious not to induce over-drying of the treated skin. Immediate and copious application of a moisturizer 3-4 times daily should be done.
- A sunblock SPF 30 or higher should be used 3-4 times daily. Sunavoidance should be performed for at least 1-2 weeks after the procedure to decrease the risk of skin darkening.
Should you begin to experience excess pain, swelling, redness, fever, chills, or drainage from the treated area, please contact your dermatologist immediately.
