Returning to work after SMP treatment

Can anyone advise how long does it take for the redness to go down and go unnoticed after the treatment?
I'm thinking would much time need to be taken off work. I have seen some pictures and the redness and dots are very harsh. Would be embarrassing going into work like that especially when you're not wanting people to know you got the treatment.

Most of the redness goes within 24 hours, bruising and darkness of dots within a few days:

Depending on where you're based, you may be able to obtain an epinephrine-based product that will remove most of the redness within 15-20 minutes. Clinics generally dont carry it though, so it would be at your own risk and also check it doesnt invalidate any guarantee.

For temporary (tricopigmentation) I advise my clients the redness can last anywhere from 1-3 days. It is usually a very mild redness, like a sunburn. It really does vary from person to person, though. We do apply a liquid vasoconstrictor like Damien mentioned, but the effect is temporary.
