One of the significant advantages of Moxi laser is its minimal downtime and straightforward healing process. Here’s what you can typically expect:
Immediately After Treatment:
- Redness and warmth: Your skin may be slightly red and feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn, for a few hours.
- Swelling: Mild swelling is possible, especially around the eyes.
Days 1-3:
- Dry, sandpapery texture: Your skin may feel rough due to the formation of tiny microdots (MENDs) where the laser energy was applied.
- Flaking: These microdots will begin to naturally flake off, revealing fresher skin underneath.
Days 3-5
- Continued improvement: Redness subsides, and your skin tone and texture will continue to improve.
Social Downtime: Most people feel comfortable returning to work or social activities within 1-2 days post-treatment, with minor redness easily concealed by makeup, if desired.
Tips for a smooth recovery:
- Gentle skincare: Use mild cleansers and moisturizers. Avoid harsh products or exfoliants.
- Sun protection: Meticulous sun protection is essential with sunscreen and hats.
- Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water aids in the healing process.
