Its recommend 7-10 days. This is how long it takes roughly for the carbon crusts to come away leaving just a pink undertone on the skin. In this time the skin should be protected form the sunlight, this is to reduce hyperpigmentation.

For skin tags that have been removed on the face and neck we recommend wearing no makeup after the treatment until the carbon crusts have been removed. This is for hygiene and bacterial reasons as well as avoiding premature removal of the carbon crusts and causing infection and pigmentation.
