Are there any after-effects following treatment?
Redness and swelling may occur, which settles down within a few days. Some patients may blister. This is quite normal and does not indicate potential scarring. By applying pure aloe vera gel will help the healing process. Apart from that no specific treatment is required and it will usually clear within a few days. A dry dressing can be applied to avoid contact with clothes etc. When showering, the area should be patted dry and not rubbed. If blistering occurs, prolonged immersion in water should be avoided e.g. swimming or soaking in a bath, Jacuzzi, Sauna. Between treatment sessions the treated area should be protected from strong sunlight or sunbeds with sun block (SPF 30).
