Skin Pigmentation Treatment Aftercare
- The treated area may appear red after your IPL skin photo rejuvenation session is complete. If your skin feels slightly warm, apply a cool ice pack to the treated area when you get home. This will accelerate your skin’s recovery time after your skin pigmentation treatment.
- Try to only wash with cold or tepid water for the first day after IPL treatment while your skin is in the recovery stage. Be gentle on your skin and avoid the use of strongly scented lotions or soaps, exfoliating creams and aggressive scrubbing to the treated area as this may cause you slight discomfort.
- The redness will gradually subside over the next 24-48 hours. In some cases it lasts up to 72 hours. Crusting or scabbing of the pigmentation is a normal consequence of the treatment and will start flaking off in 2 weeks or longer.
- At Results Laser hair removal Clinic, we recommend the following actions until the redness has resolved:
- The use of AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) or Vitamin A products
- Swimming pools and spas with multiple chemicals/chlorine
- Activities that cause excessive perspiration
- You may use Real Results Recovery Gel as often as you like after your skin pigmentation treatment, as the active ingredient has a cool calming agent.
- If treating the face, do not apply makeup the same day unless it is a mineral makeup.
- Always remember to apply your SPF 30+ sunscreen everyday to protect your skin from the Australian sun.
