Recovery Tips to Minimize Pain:

- Rest as much as possible and avoid strenuous physical activities for the recommended recovery time.
Are There Any Side Effects?
After the treatment, minor side effects like redness or swelling may occur. These symptoms usually subside naturally within a few hours to days and do not significantly interfere with daily life. However, for those with sensitive skin, these effects may last longer, so it’s important to follow pre- and post-treatment care guidelines.
