Aftercare: Pore & Scar Laser

Redness, stinging, and a burning sensation are normal. A cool compress on the day of treatment helps.

Redness may last 1–2 days, followed by flaking or thin brown scabs. These usually fall off on their own within 5–7 days — don't pick or peel them.

You can wash your face the same day, but waiting until the next day is better. Wash gently and never rub.

Apply moisturizer or repair cream generously and often. It prevents dryness and supports healing.

Keep out of the sun as much as possible. Reapply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (UVA protection included) every 2–3 hours, even on cloudy days and indoors.

Skip makeup for 2–3 days if you can. Avoid toners, lotions, and other products containing alcohol, which can irritate the skin.

For one week, avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and hot environments such as baths, saunas, and Korean jjimjilbang.
