Diode Laser Skin Rejuvenation – Pre & Post Treatment Care

At Seamless Skin Clinic, we offer Diode Laser Skin Rejuvenation to help you achieve smoother, healthier, and more youthful skin. This non-invasive treatment improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, and targets pigmentation. For the best results and a smooth recovery, please follow the pre- and post-care guidelines below.

Pre-Treatment Instructions

One Week Before Treatment

  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning (including tanning beds and fake tan) on the treatment area. Sunburned or irritated skin may increase the risk of complications and reduce treatment effectiveness.

  • Discontinue the use of active skincare ingredients, such as retinol, AHAs, BHAs, or other exfoliants, at least three days before treatment.

  • Do not undergo waxing, chemical peels, or other skin treatments that may irritate the skin before your session.

  • If you are prone to cold sores, consider taking antiviral medication as recommended by your doctor.

24-48 Hours Before Treatment

  • Shave the treatment area if necessary (avoid waxing or plucking).

  • Hydrate your skin by drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to your session.

  • Avoid the use of makeup, lotions, deodorants, or perfumes on the day of treatment to ensure clean, dry skin.

  • Avoid excessive alcohol or caffeine 24 hours before treatment to reduce skin sensitivity.

On the Day of Treatment

  • Arrive with clean skin – ensure there is no makeup, cream, or deodorant on the treatment area.

  • Wear loose, comfortable clothing to prevent irritation in the treated area.

  • Inform your therapist about any recent sun exposure, skincare changes, or underlying skin conditions.

Post-Treatment Care

Proper aftercare is essential to ensure healing and maximize results.

Immediately After Treatment

  • Redness and mild swelling may occur in the treated area and is typical. These effects should subside within 1-2 hours.

  • You may experience a sensation similar to a slight sunburn, which is normal and temporary.

  • Cool compresses or soothing gels (like aloe vera) can be applied to ease discomfort if needed.

First 24-48 Hours

  • Avoid sun exposure and apply a high SPF (50+) sunscreen to protect the treated area.

  • Refrain from applying makeup or other skincare products until your skin feels calm and any redness has subsided.

  • Avoid hot showers, saunas, and intense physical activities that may cause excessive sweating, as these could irritate the treated skin.

  • Hydrate your skin using gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizers recommended by your therapist.

Days 3-7 After Treatment

  • Gentle exfoliation can be performed once your skin feels comfortable, but avoid aggressive scrubbing.

  • Avoid active ingredients like retinol, glycolic acid, and vitamin C during the first 5-7 days.

  • Continue to use sunscreen daily to prevent pigmentation changes.

  • You may start wearing mineral-based makeup once the initial redness and irritation have gone down.

Long-Term Care

  • To maintain the results, it’s important to continue a good skincare routine including sunscreen, hydration, and appropriate anti-aging products.

  • Follow-up treatments may be recommended every 4-6 weeks, depending on your skin goals and therapist's advice.

When to Seek Medical Advice

Contact Seamless Skin Clinic or a healthcare professional if you experience:

  • Severe pain, blistering, or prolonged redness/swelling beyond the expected healing time.

  • Signs of infection, such as pus, increased tenderness, or warmth in the treated area.

  • Any other unexpected skin reactions or concerns.
