Obey Your Provider\u2019s Written Instructions<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1272\" data-end=\"1485\">Every laser platform, energy setting, and skin type has nuances. Use the regimen your clinician personalized for you as the master plan\u2014then layer on the general tips below.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1487\" data-end=\"1527\">2. Keep It Cool the First 48 Hours<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1528\" data-end=\"1684\">Apply a soft cold compress or a wrapped ice pack for 15 minutes every few hours to calm heat, redness, and swelling. <span data-state=\"closed\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mskcc.org\/cancer-care\/patient-education\/skin-care-after-fractionated-carbon-dioxide-laser-treatment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mskcc.org<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1686\" data-end=\"1717\">3. Hydrate\u2014Inside and Out<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1718\" data-end=\"1930\">Sip extra water and seal in moisture with a bland*, fragrance-free* ointment or ceramide-rich cream. Hyaluronic-acid serums are usually safe once the skin is fully closed.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1932\" data-end=\"1972\">4. Shield From UV Every Single Day<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1973\" data-end=\"2253\">Use a broad-spectrum <strong data-start=\"1994\" data-end=\"2005\">mineral<\/strong> sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) starting as soon as the surface re-epithelializes, and reapply every two hours outdoors. Hats, umbrellas, and driving gloves add insurance\u2014Seattle\u2019s clouds do <strong data-start=\"2195\" data-end=\"2202\">not<\/strong> block UVA. <span data-state=\"closed\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mskcc.org\/cancer-care\/patient-education\/skin-care-after-fractionated-carbon-dioxide-laser-treatment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mskcc.org<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1973\" data-end=\"2253\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.allureesthetic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Top-Banner-Blog-SP.gif\" alt=\"Ferulic Acid\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2255\" data-end=\"2288\">5. Cleanse Gently\u2014but Often<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2289\" data-end=\"2576\">For ablative sessions, many clinics recommend washing two to five times daily with distilled water or a diluted vinegar solution plus a mild liquid cleanser to reduce surface bacteria without stripping. Pat dry with sterile gauze or a fresh towel. <span data-state=\"closed\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mskcc.org\/cancer-care\/patient-education\/skin-care-after-fractionated-carbon-dioxide-laser-treatment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mskcc.org<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2578\" data-end=\"2601\">6. Elevate &amp; Rest<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2602\" data-end=\"2754\">Sleeping on an extra pillow the first week minimizes fluid retention, while skipping late-night screen time helps melatonin levels (better collagen!).<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2756\" data-end=\"2781\">7. Monitor &amp; Report<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2782\" data-end=\"2976\">Call your provider for fever, yellow drainage, expanding redness, or pain that outpaces over-the-counter medication. Early intervention prevents setbacks. <span data-state=\"closed\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mskcc.org\/cancer-care\/patient-education\/skin-care-after-fractionated-carbon-dioxide-laser-treatment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mskcc.org<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2978\" data-end=\"2981\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"2983\" data-end=\"3026\">The Don\u2019ts: What Can Undo Your Results<\/h2>\n<h3 data-start=\"3028\" data-end=\"3066\">1. Sun, Tanning Beds, &amp; UV Nails<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3067\" data-end=\"3200\">Even a few unprotected minutes can spark dark blotches (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation).<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3202\" data-end=\"3231\">2. Heat, Steam, &amp; Sweat<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3232\" data-end=\"3380\">Skip saunas, hot yoga, and long hot showers for 7\u201310 days; excess heat dilates vessels and prolongs redness.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3382\" data-end=\"3418\">3. Harsh Actives &amp; Exfoliation<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3419\" data-end=\"3652\">No retinoids, glycolic or salicylic acids, scrubs, or cleansing brushes until your clinician green-lights them\u2014usually two weeks for non-ablative and three to four weeks for ablative therapies.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3654\" data-end=\"3691\">4. Picking, Peeling, or Shaving<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3692\" data-end=\"3838\">Flaking sheets and tiny dark scabs will lift off naturally. Force-removing them risks scars and infection.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3840\" data-end=\"3876\">5. Makeup &amp; Fragrance Too Soon<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3877\" data-end=\"4138\">Foundations, setting sprays, and even \u201cmineral powders\u201d can occlude healing follicles or hide early signs of infection. Wait 48 hours (non-ablative) to a full re-epithelialization (ablative) unless instructed otherwise. <span data-state=\"closed\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mskcc.org\/cancer-care\/patient-education\/skin-care-after-fractionated-carbon-dioxide-laser-treatment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mskcc.org<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"4140\" data-end=\"4186\">6. Vigorous Exercise, Alcohol, &amp; Smoking<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4187\" data-end=\"4413\">All three increase inflammation or slow micro-circulation, delaying collagen remodeling. Give yourself at least 3\u20135 days of gentler movement and skip happy hour until flaking subsides.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4187\" data-end=\"4413\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.allureesthetic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Lipciouss-ads-blogllip.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"4420\" data-end=\"4467\">Extra Considerations for Melanin-Rich Skin<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"4469\" data-end=\"4586\">Darker skin types carry a higher risk of PIH.
