Wash your face with a gentle, acid-free cleanser, and water and avoid topical products that contain actives such as alpha or beta hydroxyl acids, retinols or Retin-A for approximately 72 hours or longer. If irritation occurs after applying the above products, wait a few more days. Do not use any product that abrades the skin within the 72-hour period (no scrubs), nor should you submerge the treated area in chlorinated pool or hot tub for the next 3 to 5 days.
Avoid sun exposure as much as possible for a minimum of 14 days post treatment. If you must be in the sun, apply SPF 50 , reapply often, wear a wide-brimmed hat, and seek shade when possible. Be careful of sun exposure and wear sunscreen daily for 2 weeks.
Avoid excessive heat 3 days post treatment, i.e. heavy workouts, steam rooms or saunas, etc.
Avoid facial waxing for 7 days.
Avoid dermal fillers and Botox/Xeomin for at least 14 days.
Do not pick, scratch or aggressively rub the treated area.
No scrubs, polishers or aggressive brushes should be used for 7 days.
Aloe Vera from the fridge can be really cooling and soothing on the skin, especially the neck area post treatment if needed.
