MelanoLight-Q™ Aftercare Guidance

Your MelanoLight-Q™ treatment is designed to be gentle with minimal downtime. Most people return to normal activities straight after their appointment. The guidance below helps your skin settle comfortably and supports a smooth recovery.

Immediately after treatment

You may notice mild warmth or a slightly flushed appearance.
This usually fades within minutes to a few hours.
Makeup can generally be applied the following day unless your skin feels sensitive.

For the first 48 hours

Avoid hot showers, steam rooms and saunas
Avoid vigorous exercise
Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, AHA/BHA products or strong active skincare
Use a simple moisturiser morning and evening
If your skin feels warm, you may gently cool it with a clean cold compress

Sun protection

Laser treatments can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. For at least two weeks:

Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily
Reapply if you are outdoors for prolonged periods
Avoid deliberate tanning and sunbeds

Good photoprotection is essential for maintaining an even skin tone.

Expected changes

Skin may look clearer and brighter gradually over several sessions
Some people notice transient darkening of areas of pigmentation before they settle
Improvements are cumulative rather than immediate

When to contact the clinic

Unexpected blistering
Increasing redness that does not settle
