After having a pico-laser treatment session, I would recommend waiting for an interval of 10-14 days before you begin using acidic products on the treated areas. This is to allow and also ensure that there is adequate time for the skin healing to occur.
Although there is minimal to no downtime after a pico-laser treatment session, the treated skin may show some symptoms such as:
- redness,
- swelling,
- temporary increased sensitivity,
- dry skin and/or
- skin sensitivity
Acidic products may aggravate these symptoms and also irritate the skin further if the products are to be used immediately after treatment. This should be avoided during the initial period of post-laser healing.
