I just had a mild-grade Halo treatment with 400+ depth. While in the process, my aesthetician told me that she felt few little bumps on my face, which were probably clogged pores. Now it's almost 3 days after treatment, my skin feels like a piece of sandpaper with dark brown spots all over the place. Surprisingly, I can still see those little bumps under dry skin protruding, no white heads seen or further breakout developed. My question is should I apply medicated cream or just leave it alone?
