DAY OF: POST-CARE FOR 3DMIRACL®/ SUPERFICIAL TREATMENTS
Immediately after treatment, a sunburn-like feeling called erythema is common. This can last up to a couple of hours. To reduce the discomfort and remove the heat, cool water soaks are recommended.
*Cool Water Soaks: Soak gauze in cold water and apply to the area that was treated. Keep the gauze on your skin, which will allow the skin to cool down for 5-10 minutes.
Day 1 Post-Treatment:
- The next day, use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer: a simple moisturizer is recommended for heat, tightness, or itching (edema/erythema). Repeat as often as needed for comfort. Patients should sleep in a modified upright position, with a clean pillowcase and linens, the first night.
Day 2-7 Post-Treatment:
- You may begin cleaning the treated areas with a gentle facial cleanser using nothing more abrasive than your fingertips. Do not scrub treated areas. Continue to apply moisturizer and SPF as instructed by Dr. Golomb. You should sleep in a modified upright position for the second or consecutive nights as needed.
- If you go outside and are exposed to the sun, wear a hat along with daily SPF for full protection.
