• Your skin may have a slight rosy glow for approximately 24-48 hours. It may also have a “wind-burn” sensation if your skin is extremely sensitive. This can be more common in the colder/dryer months and gentle/calming products may be necessary to help with the sensation.
• Please use all gentle and benign products for the next 3-5 days after your treatment or until you feel as though you are no longer sensitive to your home care products.
• Cleanse and moisturise your skin twice daily along with any recommended home care products.
• It is recommended that other topical, over-the-counter medications or alpha hydroxy acids not be applied to the skin 1-2 days post procedure, as they may cause irritation.
• Discontinue use of any topical retinoids for at least 3 days after to your treatment or longer based on your sensitivity. This may include: tretinoin, Retin-A, Renova, Differin, Tazorac, Avage, EpiDuo, Ziana).
• Avoid direct sun exposure for 1-2 days after your treatment.
• Use a sunscreen every day that blocks both UVA and UVB rays, preferably one containing a SPF of 30 or higher (we recommend wearing a sunscreen everyday).
• Do not go tanning for at least 2 weeks post-procedure. This practice should be discontinued due to the increased risk of skin cancer and signs of aging.
• DO NOT pick or pull any loosening or peeling skin. This could potentially cause scaring or Hyperpigmentation.
• Do not have electrolysis, facial waxing and/or depilatories for approximately 1-2 weeks.
