What are possible laser resurfacing side effects?
DISCOMFORT – Some discomfort may be experienced during and after the procedure.

INFECTION – Skin infection is a possibility although rare, whenever a skin procedure is
performed.
PIGMENT CHANGES (Skin Color) – During the healing process, there is a possibility that the
treated area can become either lighter or darker in color compared to the surrounding skin.
This is usually temporary, but on rare occasion, it may be permanent.
SCARRING – Scarring is a rare occurrence, but is a possibility when the skin’s surface is
disrupted. To minimize the chances of scarring, it is IMPORTANT that you follow all post
treatment instructions carefully
SKIN SWELLING – Some bruising and swelling normally occur. The skin in or near thesurgical
site can appear either lighter or darker than surrounding skin.
SCABBING – Some scabbing may occur for hyperpigmentation treated area which remains on
the skin at least 5 days until has healed.

M22 IPL Skin Resurfacing Photo Post-Treatment Instructions
● Recovery with the IPL is minimal. Your face may be mildly red for several hours after the
procedure but this will subside. Pigmented areas on your skin will become darker
initially, and then wash off over the following week. This may last 1 day but can last 2
weeks.
● You should be able to resume all of your regular activities immediately as long as you
wear sunscreen and protect your skin. By dividing the full program into several
treatments, the procedure provides progressive improvement with very low risk.
● You will need to avoid the sun as much as possible before and after the treatment, and
no treatment will be provided if you are sunburned or using a tanning bed. Self tanners
are also a contraindication unless you can completely exfoliate it off prior to your
treatment. Sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30 should be utilized daily, at all times of
the year.
● The treated skin will feel softer and exhibit a more even skin tone. Fine lines and wrinkles
will also improve, along with hyperpigmentation and age spots and a reduction in pore
size.
● Rosacea sufferers will see a marked reduction in breakouts and in some cases may be
able to decrease or discontinue their medication.

● Gently cleanse the treated areas with mild soap and water, then pat the area dry. Do not
soak treated areas. Do not rub or scratch the treated area.
● Use non-soap cleanser and gentle moisturizer.
● If crusting or scabbing occurs do not shave or pick the area.
● Apply a moisturizer to the area 2-3 times a day. Keep the area moist, and let the
crusting/scabbing resolve on its own.
● Makeup may be applied the next day.
● Redness and swelling can last 1-2 days.

● Avoid sun exposure and use minimum SPF 30+ broad spectrum sunscreen and continue
to use daily.
● Avoid contact sports or any other activity that could cause injury of the treated area.
● Avoid topical retinoid, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid for 3-4 nights.
● Avoid swimming, soaking or using hot tubs/whirlpools until the skin heals (about 48
hours post treatment).
● Following the recommended post treatment protocol will likely improve the results and
reduce the chance of small adverse events. Failure to comply may result in or increase
the chance of complications such as: hyper or hypopigmentation, etc.
