Laser treatment healing typically takes 10 to 21 days, depending on the specific issue that was treated.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Healing Timeline After Laser Treatment:
Stage | Description | Duration |
---|---|---|
Initial Healing | The skin will be dry and start to peel. | 5-7 days |
Full Healing | The skin has healed and you can use oil-free makeup to cover redness. | 10-21 days |
Redness Reduction | Redness gradually fades. | 2-3 months |
Key Points to Remember:
- Peeling is normal: Expect your skin to peel about 5 to 7 days post-treatment.
- Full healing varies: The complete healing process can last anywhere from 10 to 21 days, according to the treatment area and specific concerns being addressed.
- Patience with redness: The redness that occurs post-treatment is normal and may persist for two to three months. You can use oil-free makeup to help cover the redness during this time, once the initial healing is complete.
