For the first 24 hours, avoid workouts, hot showers, jacuzzis, saunas or anything that heats up your skin.

Do not exfoliate for the first 48 hours. After that, gently exfoliate every 2 to 3 days once your skin has settled. Do not exfoliate irritated skin.

Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 7 days after treatment, and longer if your skin has not returned to normal. Use broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher on exposed skin and keep protecting the area from the sun between sessions.

Do not wax, tweeze, sugar or thread the treatment area during your series. Shave only after the skin has settled.

If you need cold sore or herpes prevention, complete your prescribed antiviral plan, including the 3 days after treatment specified in Prickly’s instructions.
