Post-Treatment Instructions - Co2re Intima External:
- Immediately after treatment, most patients will experience a clinical endpoint of erythema (redness) for 1-3 days, however for more aggressive treatments this may last longer. Slight to moderate edema (swelling) and a mild to moderate sunburn sensation are also common post treatment and may last a few weeks. Skin will begin to flake at 5-7 days.
- Before discharge, a topical petroleum-based occlusive barrier will be applied, no bandages or wraps are necessary. This can be applied as many times a day as needed and before bed to keep the skin moist.
- For more aggressive treatments, your provider may prescribe the use of vinegar soaks to be applied 3 – 5 times a day for the first 3 – 5 days until redness decreases.
- No hot showers for 24 hours. Treat the skin gently, do not scrub or pick the treated area.
White Vinegar Solution: Mix 1 cup of white vinegar with 1 gallon of water for your vinegar soak solution. Do not use more vinegar, as the level of acidity is important. If you have burning once using the solution, you may use less vinegar. Keep the vinegar solution in the fridge.
