- Physical Activity: Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sweating, and heavy workouts for at least 48 hours after the procedure to prevent irritation and swelling.

- Treatment Results: You may begin to see initial improvements in skin texture and tone after a few days, with full results appearing gradually over the following weeks as collagen production increases.
