FRECKLES AFTERCARE

Immediately After the Procedure
Freckles will appear darker and bolder immediately after the procedure, but will gradually soften and fade as your skin heals over the coming days and weeks.
Slight swelling and redness may occur on the day of your procedure. This is normal and typically subsides within 24–48 hours.
Days 1–7

• Beginning the evening of your appointment, gently wash the treated area twice daily (morning and night) using a mild, fragrance-free cleanser.
• Do not apply ointments or occlusive products to your freckles for at least 7 days. This includes Aquaphor, Vaseline, tattoo ointments, face oils, sunscreen, and similar products.
• If your skin feels dry, you may apply a very thin layer of a gentle, lightweight moisturizer.
• Do not apply makeup over your freckles for at least 5–7 days.
• Avoid touching the treated area with unwashed hands.
• Do not pick, scratch, or peel your freckles. Allow any flaking or scabbing to come off naturally. Picking can lead to pigment loss, scarring, or infection.

During Healing

• Avoid excessive sweating. If you sweat or notice excess oil, especially in the T-zone, gently blot the treated area with a clean tissue as needed. Sweat and excess oil may cause your freckles to heal lighter than desired. Keeping the area clean and dry helps promote optimal healing.
• Avoid harsh skincare products, exfoliants, and acne or anti-aging treatments on the treated area.
• Products containing retinol, AHAs, BHAs, or other exfoliating ingredients can cause premature fading of your freckles.
• If you plan to undergo chemical peels, laser treatments, or an MRI in the weeks following your procedure, inform your technician or doctor that you have tattoos, as these may cause irritation, burning, or discoloration.

After 30 Days
Once your freckles have healed, you may begin applying sunscreen to the treated area. Daily sun protection is recommended to help preserve pigment color and maintain your results.
