What should I expect after a Palomar™ skin tightening / resurfacing laser treatment?
For the first 24 to 72 hours after treatment, your skin may feel like it is sunburned and it will appear pink or red with some mild to moderate swelling. The redness or pinkness will fade within that period of time. As you continue treatment, the redness or pinkness process will repeat. Using a moisturizer will help to reduce the flakiness and you may apply mineral makeup the following day.
