Before After 3 Treatments Before After 3 Treatments Before After 3 Treatments

1. You may feel warmth or heat (similar to a bad sunburn) to the treated area for up to six hours after treatment.
2. Use a cold compress or ice to the area for 15 to 20 minutes at a time with 20 minute intervals of rest in-between. This can be done for up to four to six hours following the procedure until discomfort improves. (Do not apply ice directly to skin, separate with a wash cloth or other protective barrier.)
3. Gently wash the treated areas with Cetaphil soap and tap water, pat dry with clean gauze and then apply Vaseline, Aquaphor or Crisco vegetable shorting and a Telfa bandage to the treated areas, 3 times a day for 5 days or until healed.
4. Do not soak treated areas (bathtub, Jacuzzi or swimming pool) until healed (3-5 days). Taking a shower, or having water run across the site is ok.
5. No shaving over the area if crusting is present.
6. Apply sunscreen with a SPF of 30 or more after the area is healed and use sunscreen daily until your next visit in six to eight weeks.
7. No exercise for 3-5 days or until the treated area is healed.
8. If you have any questions do not hesitate to call (949) 364-2440.
