- Redness and swelling in the treated area are normal. It is uncommon for a bluster or bruise to develop. If you develop a blister, a topical antibiotic ointment such as Polysporin can be used daily until healed. If you bruise easily, this is more likely.
- Icepacks should be avoided to maximize treatment results. Pain medication is not necessary

- Waxing, tweezing, and depilatory creams can be resumed 3 days post-treatment
- Avoid vigorous exercise, hot tubs, pools, sauna or steam for 24-48 hours after treatment
- A non-exfoliant cleanser and light moisturizer can be used day of treatment. You can resume normal skin care the next day
- Avoid direct sunlight for 24 hours following treatment; SPF 30 or higher sunscreen must be applied 10 minutes prior to sun exposure and worn every day, rain or shine
- The treated area may exhibit erythema immediately following treatment. This typically resolves within a few hours of treatment
- The treated area may exhibit mild swelling following treatment. This will resolve within 3-72 hours of treatment
- The treated area may exhibit a localized area of linear visible edema/welting following treatment. This typically resolves within a week
- You may experience momentary discomfort during the procedure while energy is being deposited. Post-procedure discomfort typically resolves within 2 hours to 2 days. Tenderness to the touch is also possible and typically resolves within 2 days to 2 weeks of treatment
- Mild bruising, which is caused by damage to soft tissue blood vessels, may occur occasionally and typically resolves within 2 days to 2 weeks of treatment
- Transient local muscle weakness may result after treatment due to inflammation of motor nerve. This typically resolves in 2-6 weeks of treatment.
- Transient pain, paresthesia and/or tingling may be experienced. This typically resolves in 2-6 weeks of treatment. No permanent injuries to facial nerves have been reported.
- The procedure stimulates your own collagen production; how long the results last is different for each individual. The average is 1 year. After 1 year, we suggest maintenance with 1 session a year; for older/advanced aging, 1 session every 6 months may be more beneficial.
- The treatment produces new collagen inside, but your natural healing process will determine how long it takes to show visible results on the outside. Eating nutritious foods and proper professional skincare are important.
