Post- Treatment Care
- No sunscreen OR makeup for 24 hours following treatment.
- Wash the face a few hours after treatment or before bed time. Use a gentle cleanser. Gently massage the face with lukewarm water and remove all serum and dried blood.
- 24 hours post-treatment makeup can be applied, but continue the use of a gentle cleanser, and hyaluronic acid serum if available (sunblock with an SPF of 25 or higher is highly recommended)
- After 48 to 72 hours following treatment client can return to regular skin care regimen. Retinol products are strongly suggested to use for optimal results.
- Avoid alcohol-based toners for 10-14 days as well as excessive sun exposure for 10 days.
What to Avoid:
To ensure the proper healing environment, be certain to observe the following:
- For at least 2 hours post treatment, do NOT use any Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Beta Hydroxy Acid, Retinol (Vitamin A), Vitamin C (in a low pH formula) or anything perceived as ‘active’ skincare.
- Avoid intentional and direct sunlight for 24 hours. No tanning beds.
- Do not go swimming for at least 24 hours post-treatment.
- No exercising or strenuous activity for the first 24 hours post-treatment. Sweating and gym environments are harmful, rife with bacteria, and may cause adverse reactions.
