Post treatment aftercare advice
Moisturising is advised twice a day for at least a week as your skin may feel drier or tighter after the treatment – this is quite normal. Also:
- Avoid facial products containing fragrance for 2-5 days after the treatment as these may irritate the skin.
- No scrubs, peels, or aggressive brushes for 7 days.
- Be sparing with self-tan, remember absorption levels are elevated.
- Make up can be applied once the skin has settled but ensure all sponges and brushes have been cleaned.
- Avoid excessive heat treatments e.g. sauna steam rooms for a minimum of 3 days post treatment.
- Please keep out of the sun /sunbeds for 2 weeks post treatment. If you must be in the sun, apply spf 50 or greater, reapply often, wear a hat, and seek shade when possible. Dark skin (Fitzpatrick 4 to 6) is prone to pigmentation and exposure to rays can be elevated in all skin types. It is essential to wear spf factor 50 following this treatment as part of your homecare. Without doing so can result in pigmentation.
- Apply a sunscreen with SPF30+ (such as CLINICCARE Sun Shield Silky Cream SPF 30) on a daily basis and with regular applications for a period of at least 2 weeks.
- Avoid electrolysis, waxing, bleaching (face) depilatory creams, laser hair removal for at least 72 hours.
- Avoid strong chlorinated water (swimming or cleaning) for approximately 14 days.
