After finishing my 3rd Pico Toning session, I feel like my inner dryness has actually gotten worse. How do you schedule your soothing and moisturizing routine?

Perhaps because the morning temperatures have dropped sharply this week, my face feels tight all day long. On days like today with light drizzle, the humidity is so low that I can actually feel my cheeks tightening after washing my face.

I have received Pico Toning three times since last month due to blemishes on my cheeks. The procedure finished quickly with just a slight stinging sensation, and there was almost no redness the next day, so it wasn't burdensome. However, about a week after completing the third session, my skin actually feels drier, so I became curious if this is normal.

At home, I follow a routine of washing my face only once with a mild cleanser, adding a drop of ampoule, and applying a thick layer of moisturizing cream. However, by the afternoon, the corners of my mouth and cheeks feel tight again. I would also like to ask how many times a day I can apply moisturizing cream after a laser procedure, and what ingredients I should avoid for a few days for soothing care.

I have my fourth appointment scheduled for next week, and I am wondering if I should moisturize more at home before then, or if it would be better to slightly extend the interval between treatments during the change of seasons. The photo shows the ampoule and cream I am currently using; I would appreciate it if you could take a look and let me know if it is okay to continue with this combination.피코토닝 3회차 마치고 나서 오히려 속당김이 심해진 느낌인데, 진정 보습 주기 어떻게 잡으세요?

  • 토닝 받고 나서 오히려 속당김이 심해지면 걱정되실 것 같아요ㅠㅠ 저도 건성이라 레이저 시작하면 더 건조해질까 봐 고민이었는데, 4회차 전에 간격을 조금 늘려도 되는지 상담받아 보시는 것도 좋을 것 같아요. 쓰시는 앰플이랑 크림도 같이 보여드리면 진정 기간에 피할 성분 안내받기 편하실 것 같아요!
  • 레이저 토닝은 열감이 피부 속 수분을 일시적으로 빼앗아가서 시술 직후 1~2주간은 유독 건조함이 심해질 수 있어요. 당김이 느껴질 때마다 순한 수분진정 크림이나 재생크림을 수시로 덧발라주시고, 다음 주 4회차 전까지 장벽이 회복되도록 보습에 집중하시면서 원장님께 시술 간격을 1~2주 정도 늘리는 방안도 상담해 보세요!
