POST-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Cool compresses can be used, if needed, to decrease redness or swelling. Apply the moisturizing cream provided until the redness and swelling resolve. Then resume applying a SPF 30 sun block daily and re-apply during the day if necessary. If redness or swelling is moderate or persists, continue applying cool compresses periodically and apply a topical steroid ointment (hydrocortisone 1 % cream). Wash the area twice daily with a gentle cleanser, cool or tepid water, and your hands only. Pat dry, DO NOT RUB.

Avoid unnecessary sun exposure.
Please call at first sign of pain or blistering.
Please note how many days that you have redness or flaking so you can inform your physician.
Expect flaking on the third or fourth day with the lunch time peel only.
DO NOT exercise vigorously for 48 hours after treatment.
DO NOT take hot showers, baths or saunas for 48 hours after treatment.
Continue use of anti-viral medication if prescribed
