After using Dr. Pen, you may notice some mild redness and swelling, which is completely normal. It's important to cleanse your skin gently with a mild cleanser and to avoid makeup for at least 24 hours. Additionally, refrain from using products with fragrances or active ingredients, such as vitamin C, retinoids, or acids (like lactic acid, AHA, or BHA), for 72 hours post-treatment to prevent irritation. It's also advisable to apply sunscreen and limit sun exposure. Your post-treatment skincare routine should emphasize hydrating and moisturizing products to support the healing process.
