Expect warmth, redness and slight swelling. Cleanse gently, moisturise, and apply sunscreen before going outside. Cool compresses help after eyelid treatment. Paracetamol is usually enough if the skin feels tender.
Avoid saunas, steam, hot yoga and heat-based facials for a few days, and pause retinoids or exfoliating acids for two or three days or until any redness has gone. Make-up is usually fine from the next day. If a small blister, crust or dark mark appears, do not pick it; send a photograph.
