After receiving a PicoWay Resolve treatment at Sparkle Lifestyle & MediSpa, following a proper post-care routine is crucial to maximize the benefits of your procedure and ensure a quick and safe recovery. PicoWay Resolve is renowned for its efficacy in treating a variety of skin concerns, including acne scars, fine lines, and uneven texture, using state-of-the-art picosecond laser technology. This guide will walk you through the essential steps to take care of your skin after treatment.

Immediate Post-Treatment Instructions

1. Keep the Skin Clean and Hydrated

  • Gentle Cleansing: Use a mild, fragrance-free cleanser to gently wash the treated area twice a day. Avoid scrubbing the area to prevent irritation.
  • Hydration: Apply a fragrance-free moisturizer to help soothe and hydrate the skin. Keeping the skin moist is essential for a healthy recovery.

2. Manage Swelling and Redness

  • Cold Compresses: Apply cold compresses to the treated area for the first 24-48 hours to reduce swelling and discomfort.
  • Over-the-Counter Relief: If necessary, take over-the-counter pain relief medications as advised by your treatment provider.

Long-Term Care and Maintenance

3. Protect From Sun Exposure

  • Sunscreen Application: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Reapply every two hours when exposed to the sun to protect the skin from UV rays, which can exacerbate pigmentation.

4. Avoid Certain Products and Treatments

  • Irritating Skincare Products: For at least one week post-treatment, avoid using products containing retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), or other chemical exfoliants.
  • Cosmetic Procedures: Delay any other cosmetic skin treatments like facials, peels, or other laser treatments until your provider confirms it is safe to do so.

Signs to Watch For Post-Treatment

  • Infection Signs: If you experience increased redness, swelling, pus, or severe pain at the treatment site, contact Sparkle Lifestyle & MediSpa immediately.
  • Unusual Symptoms: Any prolonged healing issues or unexpected skin reactions should be reported to our specialists.
