dos

-
From days 3-5, wash with a gentle cleanser (such as Cetaphil or Dove, no fragrance), followed by sunscreen.

dont's
-
Do not go swimming for at least 24 hours post-treatment.
-
No exercise that causes sweating, Jacuzzi, sauna, or steam baths until the skin is healed.
-
Do not use makeup for 24 hours post- treatment.
-
It is important that you avoid direct sunlight for at least 1 week, and make using a sunscreen with at least SPF40 a long term part of your daily routine.
-
Approximately 24-48 hours after the treatment, your skin will start to peel. This peeling will generally last 2 to 7 days. DO NOT PICK OR PULL THE SKIN.
-
Do not have any other facial treatments for at least two weeks after your peel.
Microdermabrasion
DO
-
Clean your face straight after the treatment using a wet cloth and rehydrating toner to remove any dead skin cells left behind.
-
Use a rich moisturizer once you have thoroughly dried the skin. Continue to use it for 4-6 days after your treatment as this will prevent any excessive peeling.
-
Use sunscreen every time you go out (even if it is an overcast day). This is important because microdermabrasion increases photosensitivity.
-
Keep yourself hydrated by drinking plenty of water and eating fruits and vegetables with a high water content.
DON'T
-
AVOID scratching or picking at the treatment area..
-
DO NOT use any harsh chemicals, rub or tan your skin for at least one week following the procedure.
-
Avoid facial waxing, use of depilatory creams, electrolysis, IPL or any other laser procedure for at least two weeks after your treatment.
-
Stay out of the sun for at least a week after your microdermabrasion treatment to prevent UV rays from causing hyperpigmentatation or damaging your skin.
