Post Care

  • Cleanse skin with a gentle cleanser twice daily
  • Apply moisturizer when skin feels dry and wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily
  • Apply a cold compress to decrease swelling
  • Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy sweating, and heat exposure (saunas, hot tubs, hot yoga) for 24–48 hours
  • Acetaminophen may be used if needed; avoid NSAIDs if bruising is a concern unless otherwise directed
  • Extended sun precautions for several weeks help prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, especially in deeper skin tones
  • Resume retinoids and other active skincare products only after the skin has completely healed or as directed by your provider
  • If you have a history of cold sores (herpes simplex), let us know — we may prescribe an antiviral before or after treatment

Post Care Regimen

  • Night of treatment: Apply exosomes
  • AM and PM for the next 5–7 days:
    • AM: Cleanse with Gentle Cleanser, apply Re-Hydrate serum, Refresh moisturizer, and Defense broad-spectrum SPF 30+
    • PM: Cleanse with Gentle Cleanser, apply Re-Hydrate serum, Refresh moisturizer

What to Expect

  • The treated area may be warm for 1–2 hours after treatment; warmth may continue for 12–24 hours
  • Redness is normal and expected, and can persist for up to 7 days depending on the intensity of treatment
  • MENDs (microscopic epidermal necrotic debris) will appear on the 2nd or 3rd day as tiny dark spots and a bronzed appearance — DO NOT scratch, exfoliate, or intentionally remove them
  • Skin may feel rough or “sandpaper-like” before the MENDs naturally shed
  • Mild itching during healing is common and does not usually indicate an allergic reaction
  • Swelling can occur and is typically expected immediately after treatment
