After your Quantum RF treatment, most patients experience only mild redness, swelling, warmth, or tenderness—side effects that typically resolve within a few hours to a couple of days. You may also notice very light crusting or peeling over three to seven days, depending on treatment intensity . For optimal healing, it’s best to avoid heat exposure such as saunas, hot tubs, intense workouts, or hot showers for at least 72 hours . Use gentle cleansers, fragrance‑free moisturizers, and skip active skincare like retinoids or exfoliants for up to a week, and refrain from makeup for at least 24 hours following your treatment . A light healing ointment may be provided immediately post‑treatment; moisturizing and hydration remain key throughout recovery.
