3 days after my 1st Infini treatment (face), I had some friends over. I never smoke but they do, so I was exposed to second hand smoke for 7-8 hours on and off. For 3 hours, we were indoors when they were smoking. The windows were open but some smoke remained in the room. The other 5 hours, we were outdoors, so I seldom inhaled or got direct smoke in my face. I have not been exposed to any smoke ever since. I eat healthy and sleep well. Will the secondhand smoke have any effect on the results?
