We recommend patients avoid direct sunlight for the first few weeks after their procedure and wear a strong sunscreen recommended by Dr. Indeyeva. Dr. Indeyeva will provide a customized regimen to facilitate healing and enhance your results.
Stem Cell Recruitment Facial patients should avoid washing their face or using any facial product for the first 24 hours following their procedure. After the first day, you may use a gentle soap to wash your face and apply a topical antioxidant and mineral sunscreen daily. At the 72-hour mark, patients can resume their normal skincare routine.
