Aftercare advice
Elise laser/plasma: before and after treatment
Advice on laser/plasma treatment of the skin.
General advice – the nurse will give you personal advice tailored to your treatment.
Before treatment
- Avoid sun, tanning beds and self-tanning for 2–4 weeks before.
- Come without make-up. Tell us about herpes, isotretinoin (Roaccutan) in the last 6 months, and skin diseases.
After treatment
- Follow the home care you receive from the nurse carefully; keep the skin moisturised and protected.
- Avoid sun for several weeks; use SPF 50.
- Do not pick at scabs or dry skin – let them fall off on their own.
- Avoid exercise, sauna and strong heat for 48 hours.
This is normal
- Redness, swelling, dryness and scabbing in the first 5–10 days.
