POST TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS

EVERY DAY:

  • You will receive text instructions from the number 474747.
  • Text a picture to 409-454-9502. We will not respond unless needed.
  • STERILE HANDS when applying anything to your skin. 
  • 2X Cicalfate. Unlimited Coconut Oil. Unlimited Thermal Spray (if purchased).
  • Take Vitamin C. Drink lots of fluid, eat your favorite foods.
  • Do NOT exercise, or exert yourself. Do not clean house. No pets, children, spouses, (etc), near your skin please.
  • Don't go outside or get anything in or on your skin, except those listed above. NO SUN! 


DAY 1 (Day of Treatment): 

  • Minor discomfort: Mild burning typically lasts 2-6 hours.
  • Possible (not likely) Pin-point bleeding: Dot blood away with a Q-tip and distilled water--NO TAP WATER, or Q-tip and Coconut Oil. Do NOT DO THIS after Day 1.
  • Apply a light layer of Cicalfate.
  • 1 hour later begin Coconut Oil (do a test patch, if no swelling or discomfort after 30 minutes apply to the rest of treated area).
  • Use as much Coconut Oil as you like throughout the rest of your recovery. 
  • Before bed, apply a light layer of Cicalfate. 

DAY 2: Everyone is different. You may look mildly red or heavily red.

DAY 3: Your skin may feel like sandpaper today. 

DAY 4-5: 

  • Take a steamy shower.
  • Soak a textured cloth in hot water.
  • Lay cloth on skin for a few minutes.
  • Rinse and repeat a few times. NO SCRUNCHING OR PRESSURE. 

DAY 6 FORWARD: 

  • Add medium-pressure when applying your hot-water-soaked-cloth, in your shower, to gently begin exfoliation.
  • You should start to feel smooth patches (and still some rough patches). The slow crumbling off of dead-skin may take another week.
  • You can start wearing make-up again, if you have to. Use Avene cleanser now (if purchased) or a natural soap or Cetaphil gentle cleanser to remove make-up as soon as possible.

Day 7 FORWARD: 

  • 25+ spf sunscreen for the next several months, whenever exposed to any sun. The less sun-exposure the better and definitely no boating or sunny vacations for as long as possible.
  • Take care of your BABY SKIN! 

You may continue to be slightly red for a few weeks. Red means the skin is still healing. **Worsening red with itching may indicate a skin infection -- call for antibiotics if you have this.
