Aftercare

Reactions from treatment include: skin redness and flushing, peeling, dryness, irritation, tightness, itching, tenderness, accentuated lines & wrinkles due to dryness, stinging and swelling. Effects will usually typically resolve within hours and many people are able to return to their normal activities the same or next day. Some people may react differently and may experience these reactions for longer However, these reactions are temporary and typically resolve within 3-7 days as the skin returns to normal. Refrain from touching or pulling at any loose peeling skin as this can cause an uneven result in pigmentation. It is recommended that the use of soaps, other than those recommended by your practitioner, on the treated skin area is restricted until the skin normalises and where possible warm water and/or gentle skin cleansers are used for cleansing. Do not scrub. Pat to dry only. Avoid the use of benzoyl peroxide facial skin products for 7 days after treatment. Avoid direct heat, such as saunas, hot baths, showers or a hot hairdryer. Avoid facial products containing fragrance for 7 days after treatment as these may irritate the skin. Avoid the use fo exfoliating agents, other peeling agents, retinoids, retinols and vitamin A products for 7 days after treatment. Refrain from intensive sun light, saunas, sunbed, steam bath for at least 7 days. Use adequate sunscreen protection with a minimum of 30 SPF for at least 7 days after treatment. Avoid electrolysis, depilatory creams, waxing and laser hair removal for a minimum of 7 days after treatment. Do not swim in chlorinated water for approximately 14 days. Use of intensive moisturiser is advised for at least a week as your skin may feel drier or tighter after your treatment - this is quite normal. Make-up can be applied once skin has settled but ideally wait for as long as possible. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out on my direct line 07428236323.
