How long after CO2 laser can you use a heater?

Question

I had co2 laser 2 weeks ago and tried contacting my provider, however, didn’t get a response. I was wonder when I could wear make up and use a heater. Thanks in advance!

Around two weeks post-CO2 laser, your skin is likely still in the healing process. It's crucial to follow your provider's post-procedure instructions, but generally:

1. **Makeup:** You may need to wait until any scabbing or peeling has subsided. Consult with your provider to confirm when it's safe to resume using makeup.

2. **Heater:** Avoid exposing your treated skin to excessive heat, as this can interfere with the healing process. It's advisable to wait until your skin has fully recovered before using heaters.

If you're unable to reach your provider, consider leaving another message or trying alternative contact methods. Following their specific guidelines will help ensure optimal healing and reduce the risk of complications.

Best of luck !
