- Staying well-hydrated to aid recovery
- Refraining from smoking, as it slows down the healing process

Post-treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity. Following proper aftercare instructions is essential to promote healing and achieve optimal results. Key aftercare guidelines include:- Keeping the treated skin clean and moisturized
