THINGS YOU MUST DO FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURE:

• Gently apply petroleum jelly to affected area three times a day. The area should be kept moist and shiny at all times during the healing process.
• Expect some swelling and redness during the 48-72 hours following the procedure.
• To reduce swelling, apply ice to the area during the first 24-48 hours (about 15-20 minutes each hour while awake). Be sure to use a barrier between the bag of ice and your face (a dry wash cloth is suitable).

THINGS YOU MUST AVOID FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURE:

• Do not apply make-up.
• Do not expose area to sun/tanning beds.
• Do not apply soaps, cleansers, moisturizers, oils, make-up removers, or sunscreen.
• Do not apply Retin-A, Accutane, or glycolic acid products.
• Do not sit in a sauna.
• Do not swim in a Jacuzzi, or in a chlorinated pool.
• Do not pick, peel, or touch the affected areas.

Please continue to follow these instructions for 5 (five) days after the procedure. Proper aftercare will reduce pigment loss to a minimum. These instructions apply to procedure areas only.
