What to Avoid Post-Treatment

1. Sun Exposure & Tanning Beds – Can cause hyperpigmentation and slow healing.

2. Harsh Scrubs & Exfoliation – Let your skin naturally renew; avoid aggressive treatments.

3. Picking or Touching the Skin – This can lead to irritation, breakouts, or scarring.

4. Hot Showers, Steam, & Excessive Sweating – Can intensify irritation and prolong redness.
