- Avoid sun exposure on the scalp for at least 2 weeks.
- Do not pick or scratch the treatment area.
- Avoid intense workouts that elevate your body temperature for the first 2–3 days.

Recommended Skincare
Heal faster with the right products
To speed up recovery and achieve the best results from your treatment, we recommend using gentle, medical-grade skincare pre and post-laser. A clean, hydrated skin barrier heals faster and produces a more even result.
Daily SPF is essential. UV rays and blue light contribute to pigmentation issues and accelerate skin aging — protecting the treatment area is non-negotiable.
We offer AlumierMD in-studio and online — mineral, medical-grade skincare approved for post-laser use.
