What are the possible side effects?
It is typical for clients to experience redness, tightness of the skin, the severity of which will depend upon the aggressiveness of the performed treatment, for roughly 12-24 hours post-procedure.
Red or pink hue like moderate sunburn may persist. There may be some noticeable swelling on the day. The skin may still retain a pink hue or return to normal colouring by the 2nd – 3rd day and swelling would have subsided. Some people have mild peeling of sloughed dead skin 3-4 days after the treatment. To help reduce these symptoms, it’s recommended patients avoid working out, wearing makeup and the sun for at least 24 hours following treatment.
Do not hesitate to phone the clinic if you have any questions
