With medical aesthetic procedures on the rise, remember that post-procedure care is one of the most important aspects to making sure your results last. Here are some tips to keep your skin healthy during your healing process.
1. Gentle care for one whole week (at least)!
You read that right—for one week post procedure, it’s important to understand your skin is in a vulnerable state and needs a little extra TLC. We recommend a straightforward, fragrance-free routine enriched with soothing ingredients like Cucumber Extract and strengthening agents such as Ceramides.
Harmony Cleanser, Replenish Serum, and Restore Cream would be the perfect trio to support your skin during the healing process! As always, consult with your esthetician to understand how long you should be using a gentle routine.
2. Avoid active ingredients
To give your skin the best chance at recovering, steer clear of active ingredients like retinoids and acids for one week post-procedure, as well as any other exfoliators or hair removal treatments on the treated area. These can be harsh and disrupt the healing process and can potentially lead to irritation or prolonging the recovery period. Let your skin rebuild its natural barrier without additional stress!
3. Wear your SPF!
Sun protection is essential after any medical aesthetic procedure. Wearing a broad-spectrum SPF helps shield your sensitive skin from harmful UV rays, preventing hyperpigmentation and ensuring that your results remain flawless. Apply SPF 30 or higher daily, and reapply every 2 hours, especially if you are outdoors or exposed to direct sunlight.
By following these post-procedure tips, you're setting your skin up for success and making sure those fabulous results stick around. Remember, a little extra TLC now means your skin will stay healthy and your glow can shine bright for longer!
