If you have water, sebum, or sweat contact with the wound, it will make it expand and this will lead to scab showing. This scab is typically bothersome and ought not to be peeled.

If you are the type that has a sensitive skin, the following day of treatment, the area around the strokes can turn red just because the skin was bothered. This will come back to normal following a couple days. Strokes will seem darker in the following couple of days after treatment and will lighten up around 40% lighter again after peeling.
