Can I wash my face today, if I had a pro fractional laser treatment done this morning?

Thank you for your question. We recommend doing so with a mild cleanser such as Cetaphil, but you should follow your Physician's specific instructions. When washing initially, splash water on your face and then pat dry - no rubbing. I hope this helps!

Thank you for your question.As a rule, follow your provider's instructions.  We recommend cleansing with Cetaphil or similar product.  Most places that do resurfacing on a regular basis offer a laser aftercare kit that includes a cleanser.



To be sure, see two or more licensed
and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make
sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have these
treatments.



I hope this helps.

A mild cleanser can be used. Dermatologists recommend things like Cetaphil or Cerave for cleansing. After these kinds of procedures, we recommend using Thermal Spring Water -- the most popular is from Avene -- and helps clean and hydrate the skin.

Washing your face with a mild cleanser such as Cetaphil, QV wash or aqueous cream is advised. We recommend twice daily washing- this removes the dead skin cells, and helps with healing. Remember to use a simple bland moisturiser such as QV Intensive, or White Soft Parrafin to help with healing. Sunscreen should on be used when your skin has healed up completely, usually 4-8 days after fractional laser, depending on the settings. regardsDr Davin S.

I recommend that people wash with cooler water and Aquanil only for a few days. Soaps and specific cleansers can be intensely irritating to skin after fractional lasers. Didn't your office give you specific post-care instructions? "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and
