Laser Treatment Aftercare

Normal Skin Reactions After Laser Treatments

After laser procedures it is normal to experience temporary skin reactions such as:

• rednes
• mild swelling
• warmth or sensitivity
• small pinpoint marks (after Morpheus8)
• mild peeling or dryness

These reactions typically resolve within 24–72 hours, depending on the procedure and individual skin sensitivity.

General Rules After Laser Procedures

For the first few days after treatment please follow these guidelines:

• avoid direct sun exposure
• apply SPF 30–50 daily
• avoid sauna, steam rooms and hot baths
• avoid intense workouts for 24–48 hours
• avoid aggressive skincare products
• do not scratch or rub the treated area

Retinol & Active Skincare Warning

Retinol and other active ingredients significantly increase skin sensitivity after laser procedures.

Avoid using the following products for 5–7 days after laser treatments:

• retinol and retinoids

Using these ingredients too soon may cause irritation, redness and delayed skin recovery.
