Halo Laser: 'Mends' still present 7 days after treatment. (Photos)

Although the MENDS are usually gone 7 days after treatment, the “sand paper” texture can persist up to 10 days. The pink skin that is seen on your skin could potentially be caused from a reaction to a topical product being used at this point in the healing process. I would suggest trying to call the office again.  Possibly you will be able to speak with someone at this time.  If you have been using an occlusive dressing (Aquaphor) that could be causing the reaction. Lanolin is in the product and that can happen. I have good luck with AVENE Products (Cicalfacte) However Cerave Lotion or Cetaphil would be alternatives.  Sunscreen is very important Elta MD Physical is a favorite of mine. I hope you find my answer helpful. Best of luck.

Mends can continue to be present 7 days out, depending on how much pigment you had initially and how deep your HALO was.  If skin is itchy, red and bumpy, be sure you aren't allergic to something in your skin care regimen.  Speak with your doctor and simplify as much as possible.  Patients are sometimes allergic to the lanolin in aquaphor if you are using that.  Cetaphil is a nice gentle cleanser.

Although it's almost impossible to say without seeing you, it looks a bit more like you may be reacting to an ingredient in your skincare. Go to cetaphil cleanser and lotion for now and be careful with your skincare.Now that it's Monday, your aesthetician will be more likely to respond to you. Make sure to reach out to the office so they can see and manage you until you are fully healed.
