Those tiny dark dots after laser treatment? They're called MENDs—and they're completely normal 👍🏼
After treatments like MOXI or HALO, microscopic columns of treated skin begin making their way to the surface. These tiny brown specks, known as Microscopic Epidermal Necrotic Debris (MENDs), are part of your skin's natural healing process.
You may notice:
✨️A rough, sandpaper-like texture
✨️Tiny dark dots
✨️Mild redness
✨️Shedding over the next several days
The best thing you can do? Let them fall off naturally, keep your skin moisturized, and wear sunscreen daily. As they shed, fresh, healthier-looking skin is revealed 🤍
