Now your first session is complete you’ll want to ensure you get the very best results and, to some extent, that’s up to you! These are a few suggestions that will make a significant difference to both short and longer term outcomes. Please take the time to read and follow the advice here.
Important information
There’s no down time after skin rejuvenation, but you may find darkening of pigmented areas occurs; this is normal and will reveal the new skin within 21 days.
For 48 hours after treatment:
Do not:
- Wear tight clothing or anything that rubs the area that has been treated
- Play contact sports or anything that may cause bruising or bumps to the treated area
- Apply any cream, moisturiser, make-up, perfume or body lotions to the area – other than those recommended by your technician
- Take hot baths and avoid getting the area wet
- Take heat treatments such as saunas, steamrooms or Jacuzzis.
- Swim – chemicals in the pool can cause a reaction
- Rub or scratch the area to ensure it heals quickly and no infection is introduced to the area and that healing takes place properly
- Lie in the sun or use a sun-bed to avoid getting pigmentation marks
It’s OK to:
- Apply cold compresses to the treated area (or a pack of peas wrapped in a clean cloth) if the area feels warm or tender. Never apply ice packs directly to the skin; it can burn
- Use skin cleansing products that have been developed for sensitive skin – at least for the first 48 hours
- Wash the area gently with soap or water, but no soaking
Improve your results
Don’t apply any perfumed products for at least a couple of months after treatment.
Use a sunscreen frequently, ideally with a SPF of 30 or higher. Wear a hat outdoors to protect your face.
