Healing Info:

  • Healing typically spans 2-4 weeks.

  • Initial tenderness and light scabbing are common occurrences.

  • Allow any scabbing to flake off naturally without interference.

  • Temporary, uneven coloration during the flaking stage is normal.

  • The final stage involves the skin tightening and returning to its natural appearance.

  • After week 3, you can resume immersive water activities such as taking a bath, swimming, water park, jacuzzi, ocean, etc.
