SKIN PEELS & SKIN NEEDLING AFTERCARE
Your post-procedure after care can greatly enhance recovery after receiving your Advanced Skin Treatment. It may also assist in reducing risk of potential side effects that can occur post treatment.
Please review the following post-procedure care recommendations to ensure optimal results.
Your skin may present with redness, swelling, discomfort, tightness and peeling for up to 7 days. This is a normal response. If you become concerned with your skin response, please contact us immediately.
If prone to cold sores, medication may be necessary.
POST SKIN TREATMENT CARE
Please follow your recommended home care regime for the next 3 - 5 days.
On the day of treatment:
-
Strict sun avoidance is advised
-
No contact with animals/pets near the treated area
-
Ensure your sheets and pillowcases are clean
-
Avoid hot showers and baths
-
Avoid swimming pools, spas and saunas
-
Avoid vigorous exercise
On the day after your treatment:
-
Broad spectrum sunscreen must be applied regularly from today and for the remainder of your treatment plan. Reapply every 2 hours
-
Mineral make up may be applied if no discomfort is experienced when cleansing
1 week after your treatment you may resume:
-
Physical exfoliation
-
Hair removal including waxing, depilation creams and laser hair reduction
2 weeks after your treatment you may resume:
-
Professional skin treatments (please advise if you are planning other skin treatments)
Sun Protection:
We recommend physical avoidance of the sun in all treated areas and regular
re-application of a broad spectrum sunscreen SPF 30 or higher.
Incidental sun exposure i.e driving to and from work, walking to your car, to the house etc. will still require application of your sunscreen.
Recovery:
Following your Mesoneedling treatment, your skin may appear pink and feel warm, similar to a sunburn. This is normal and typically resolves within 24-48 hours. Some sensitivity and dryness may persist for a few days, but generally, your skin will return to its normal state within 5-7 days.
