Your skincare expert will advise you on how to maintain the results of your treatment, but here are some general rules to keep in mind:
Avoid sunlight. And when you do go outside, wear sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Your skin will be extra sensitive after a skin treatment, and so you will be more susceptible to sun damage.
Don’t smoke. If you smoke, it is more difficult for your body to heal properly after a skin treatment. Blood flow is decreased and inflammation is inhibited, which not only puts you at risk of infection or other problems, but also makes it difficult for your skin to look its best!
Maintain a regular skincare regimen. The first week or so after your procedure, your skin may be extra sensitive, so avoid products that may irritate your skin, such as exfoliators, scrubs, and alcohol-based toners. Use gentle products, such as a mild cleanser, a moisturizer, and, of course, sunscreen.
