Determining the appropriate timing for resuming exfoliation following a Moxi laser treatment is critical for optimal healing and desired outcomes. Premature exfoliation can disrupt the skin’s natural recovery process, while delaying it excessively may hinder the shedding of treated skin cells and the revelation of fresh, rejuvenated skin. The ablative nature of the laser creates micro-coagulation zones within the epidermis, which subsequently slough off.
Adhering to the recommended post-treatment care guidelines is essential for minimizing the risk of complications such as hyperpigmentation, prolonged redness, or infection. These guidelines, typically provided by the practitioner, are formulated based on the intensity of the laser treatment, the individual’s skin type, and their overall healing response. Following these recommendations ensures the skin barrier is adequately restored and the treated skin can heal effectively, leading to enhanced collagen production and improved skin texture.
