Get answers to common questions about 3 After care.

Many clients notice surface improvements within one to two weeks, while deeper collagen remodeling continues for three to six months. Proper aftercare accelerates visible healing and maximizes long-term SQT results, so follow your personalized home regimen.

Use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser, hydrating serums, and the clinic-recommended barrier cream. Avoid retinoids and strong acids for seven to fourteen days. Apply provided products and sunscreen as instructed, and contact us with any concerns.

Avoid hot tubs, saunas, heavy exercise, swimming pools, and direct sun exposure for at least forty-eight to seventy-two hours or as advised. Refrain from exfoliants, harsh ingredients, and makeup until your skin is fully settled.

Most redness or mild peeling resolves within two to seven days. Individual healing varies; persistent swelling, prolonged irritation, or signs of infection should prompt contact with our clinic for assessment and tailored care recommendations.

You can often wear mineral-based makeup after twenty-four to forty-eight hours if the skin feels intact. Apply a gentle physical sunscreen once healed per instructions. Avoid heavy cosmetics until irritation subsides; follow our timing advice for best results.

Most clients benefit from an initial series followed by maintenance visits every eight to twelve weeks, though sensitive or aging skin may need more frequent touch-ups. Your specialist will create a personalized schedule based on goals and response to SQT treatment.
