Laser Skin Rejuvenation Pre & Post Care
This guide covers Alma Laser Toning, Alma ClearLift Laser Rejuvenation and Alma Laser Toning + Enzyme.
Before your treatment
- Your skin is prepared before laser treatment with active skin care and/or Dermalux LED. Follow the preparation your clinician prescribes.
- Avoid tanning, fake tan and significant sun exposure for 2 weeks before treatment.
- Avoid retinol, exfoliants, acids and other active skincare for 3 to 5 days before treatment, unless your clinician has prescribed them as part of your preparation.
- Tell us about recent procedures, skin sensitivity, cold sores, medications, and any cosmetic tattoo in or near the treatment area (laser can darken some cosmetic tattoo pigments).
On the day
- Your clinician cleanses your skin and performs the laser treatment at settings chosen for you. You will wear protective eyewear.
- ClearLift Laser Rejuvenation finishes with a cooling mask.
After your treatment: the first 24–48 hours
- Laser Toning has no downtime. You may feel mild warmth or see some pinkness for a few hours.
- For 24 hours, avoid heat, saunas, hot showers, vigorous exercise and heavy sweating.
- Keep your skin hydrated with gentle products, and wear SPF 50+.
The following days and weeks
- Laser Toning + Enzyme can cause light flaking. Let it shed naturally; don't pick or scrub.
- Avoid retinol, AHA and BHA acids, scrubs and other strong actives for 3 to 5 days, and until your skin feels comfortable.
- Protect your skin from the sun: SPF 50+ every morning, reapply outdoors, wear a hat and seek shade.
- A course is often recommended. Your clinician will advise on spacing.
