Brief Answer:
Just to be hyper cautious, give it two weeks!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Two weeks is certainly a long time but that is leaving to chance to error. After this time, all is well. Though 8days is safe, I find it a little below a 100% certainty and will rather take all required precautions.

I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
