Precautions

  1. Please keep the hydrocolloid patch applied to the treated area for 7-14 days until it heals completely.
  2. The frequency of changing the patch depends on its swelling and opacity. If it swells significantly and becomes opaque & white, change it 1-2 times a day; otherwise, change it once every 1-2 days.
  3. The hydrocolloid patch is waterproof, allowing you to wash your face on the same day as the procedure. You can also apply makeup and sunscreen to the treated area while avoiding direct contact.
  4. Even after 7-14 days when the treated area has fully healed, some redness may persist for 1-6 months, so consistent sunscreen application is essential to prevent pigmentation.
  5. Maintaining adequate hydration and moisturizing the skin are beneficial for skin regeneration.
  6. Avoid activities that may irritate the skin, such as sauna, steam baths, exfoliation, and massages, for 1 week.
  7. Refrain from consuming alcohol, smoking, etc. for 1 week.
  8. If you experience any discomfort post-procedure, please reach out to us or visit our clinic to consult with the doctor for further guidance.
