1. Introduction — Why Post-Treatment Guidance Matters
Knowing what to expect after skin treatment is just as important as the treatment itself. At DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet, post-treatment guidance is provided after every session — because how you care for your skin in the days following treatment directly affects your results and recovery.
This guide explains what is normal, what needs monitoring, and what is an emergency — for every major treatment type performed at DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet. Keep this as a reference after your treatment.
(Bahasa Indonesia) Panduan ini menjelaskan apa yang normal, apa yang perlu dipantau, dan apa yang merupakan keadaan darurat — untuk setiap jenis treatment utama di DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet.
(Tiếng Việt) Hướng dẫn này giải thích điều gì là bình thường, điều gì cần theo dõi, và điều gì là khẩn cấp — cho từng loại điều trị chính tại DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet.
2. After CO2 Fractional Laser
✅ Normal — Expected Reactions
Redness and warmth for 1–3 days — skin feels like a mild sunburn
Mild swelling on day 1–2, especially around the eyes
Tiny micro-crust or flaking from day 3–7 as skin renews
Small milia (tiny white bumps) may appear temporarily — do not squeeze
Skin may feel tight and dry during healing
⚠️ Monitor — Contact DIVA if These Occur
Significant redness and burning lasting beyond 5 days
Skin darkening (PIH) — apply SPF strictly and contact DIVA for guidance
More than a few small pimples appearing after healing
🚨 Emergency — Contact DIVA Immediately
Pus, discharge, or signs of infection — fever, increasing pain, spreading redness
Severe blistering beyond expected peeling
Aftercare at Home
Apply B5 gel or recovery serum as directed — do not touch or peel the skin

No retinol, AHA, BHA, or strong active ingredients for 7–10 days
No swimming, sauna, or excessive sweating for 1 week
3. After Pico Laser

⚠️ Monitor

Unusual texture or roughness persisting after 10 days
🚨 Emergency
Blistering or skin lifting beyond what was explained at the clinic
Aftercare
SPF 50+ is absolutely non-negotiable after Pico laser — UV exposure will worsen pigmentation

Moisturize generously — gentle, fragrance-free cream
Do NOT peel or pull off flaking skin — let it shed naturally
No physical exfoliation, no scrubs
SPF 50+ every day
5. After RF Microneedling / PRP

9. After Filler — Including Emergency Signs
⚠️ CRITICAL: Vascular occlusion (blocked blood vessel) after filler is a medical emergency. Read this section carefully.
✅ Normal
Swelling and bruising for 2–5 days — especially after lip filler
Tenderness at injection points
Slight asymmetry as swelling settles — evaluate at 2 weeks
⚠️ Monitor
Bruising that is spreading or worsening after 48 hours
Uneven result at 2 weeks — contact DIVA for assessment
🚨 EMERGENCY — Signs of Vascular Occlusion
Contact DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet IMMEDIATELY or seek emergency medical care if you experience:
🚨 Sudden, intense, disproportionate pain at or near the injection site
🚨 Skin turning white, pale, grey, or bluish in color
🚨 Skin feeling cold or numb in the treated area
🚨 Blanching (skin turns white when pressed, does not return to pink quickly)
🚨 Vision changes after nose or under-eye filler — this is a critical emergency
Vascular occlusion means filler has compressed or entered a blood vessel, blocking blood flow. This must be treated within HOURS with hyaluronidase (filler dissolving enzyme) to prevent permanent damage. Do not wait and hope it resolves — contact DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet or emergency services immediately.
Aftercare
Cold compress for 24 hours — reduces swelling and bruising
No vigorous exercise for 48 hours
No alcohol for 48 hours — increases bruising
Do not massage filler unless specifically instructed by DIVA
