A potential issue could arise from the fact that the dermis is exposed at the end of the session, which significantly weakens it and can lead to bleeding. The healing process can last about two weeks. During this time, local skin care treatments using emollients or dressings will be applied until complete healing.
Following the healing process, the skin may also be dry, red, and possibly swollen for weeks, or even months. Care may then be prescribed, such as anti-inflammatory treatments and possibly suitable makeup to conceal erythema after the tenth day. Due to the extreme fragility of the skin after treatment, it is strongly advised against sun exposure. It is also recommended to wear a sunscreen with a minimum SPF 50 for six months.
Furthermore, complications, although rare, can occur. These may include, among other things, viral infections such as herpes, outbreaks of acne or rosacea, milia, hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation, persistent pain and redness, and allergies to products used to disinfect the skin before the procedure. Once again, these reactions remain extremely rare.
