Showering as opposed to bathing is preferable after treatment (tepid water on face only)
2-7 days following treatment, or as soon as comfortable to do so, clients may return to regular skincare products although alcohol-based products e.g. toners need to be avoided for 10-14 days.
Avoid touching, scratching or picking the skin (wash hands first before touching face)
