Following your IPL photofacial treatment, it is advised to keep the treated area moisturized and hydrated. Using a topical moisturizer of choice and application of sunscreen is highly advised. Cleansing and washing your face with warm water will hydrate your skin and assist in the exfoliation process of topical skin cells. It is equally important to avoid directly exposing newly treated skin to the sun for several weeks. In addition, you must reduce the urge to pick, scratch, or mechanically exfoliate your skin following your IPL treatment.
