Gainesville dermatology, a review of the basics
Do not be concerned if you detect a slight odor of singed hair. This results from the charring of your hair stubble and is completely normal. You should not need any bandages or medications after the procedure. Any post treatment redness or swelling of the skin that you may experience will last only a few hours. Avoid exertion for the first full day after treatment to minimize sweat formation, sun exposure, skin waxing or plucking or any disturbance of the treated skin area for several weeks afterwards.
