Recovery Expectations
Your skin is in repair mode. Pigment may darken before it lightens, but that means the treatment is working beneath the surface.
You may experience some warmth and redness immediately after your treatment that can last up to a few hours.
Pigmentation will darken, and continue to darken for 10-14 days before lightening.
Red tones may turn darker or more purple, and will resolve in 10-14 days.
Skin will be more sensitive to the sun, and daily sunscreen is necessary.
