FOTONA ACNE SCAR REVISION TREATMENT PRECAUTIONS

Immediately After Treatment:

  • Post-Treatment Effects: Mild redness and swelling are common and should subside within a few days. This is a normal part of the healing process.

  • Topical Applications: Apply any prescribed topical creams or ointments exactly as directed by your provider to aid in healing.

  • Cleansing: Use a clean, gentle cleanser to wash your face. Avoid abrasive scrubs and harsh cleansers to prevent irritation.

Day of Treatment:

  • Face Washing: Avoid washing your face with hot water. Use lukewarm water to cleanse your face gently. If peeling was part of the treatment, avoid any water contact on the same day.

  • Makeup: Refrain from applying makeup until done peeling.

  • Sun Protection: Avoid direct sun exposure. Use a high-SPF sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) and reapply every 2 hours if you’re outside. Physical sunscreens are recommended.

First Week:

  • Makeup: Do not use makeup until your provider advises you that it is safe to resume application.

  • Sun Protection: Continue avoiding direct sun exposure. Maintain use of high-SPF sunscreen, applying it generously and frequently throughout the day.

  • Exfoliation: Refrain from using exfoliating products, retinoids, or any harsh treatments. These can irritate the skin and hinder the healing process.

General Care:

  • Skincare Routine: Adhere to the skincare routine recommended by your provider. Avoid introducing new products without prior consultation.

  • Hydration: Keep your skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water and using recommended moisturizers.

  • Follow-Up: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor the progress and effectiveness of your treatment. Report any unusual symptoms or concerns to your provider.

Additional Note

  • Healing Time: It’s normal to experience temporary effects such as small closed pores or slight acne, which should resolve within 1-2 weeks.

  • Touching and Scrubbing: Avoid touching, scratching, or scrubbing the treated area. Allow the skin to heal naturally.
