Protect Your Skin (Sunscreen Is Non-Negotiable)
Immediately after treatment, Dr. Ovchinsky advises applying a protective balm like Aquaphor to prevent moisture loss and shield the skin. Once the skin can tolerate it, sunscreen becomes essential.
Dr. Chacon notes that unprotected sun exposure is one of the most damaging post-treatment mistakes, since UV can worsen irritation and trigger hyperpigmentation. Daily sunscreen is mandatory until the skin fully recovers and ideally, always.
