What To Do After HydraFacial?

What To Do Before HydraFacial?

One Day After Treatment

For the first 24 hours after your treatment, avoid heat. Take a lukewarm shower or bath rather than a steaming hot one. Do not perform intense cardio or go for a personal best deadlifting. You must also refrain from unwinding in a sauna. Finally, if possible, do not apply makeup on the day of your treatment.

Two Days After Treatment

During the first 48 hours after your treatment session, you should still be avoiding the use of any product containing tretinoin. You must also refrain from any type of exfoliating treatment, waxing and using depilatories during this period. Finally, do not use any over-the-counter acne medications for the first two days after treatment.

Three Days After Treatment

For the first three to five days after your HydraFacial, it is particularly important that you protect your skin from sun damage. This treatment gently removes the top layers of dead skin cells. This exposes a layer of fresh, healthy skin cells that are more vulnerable than the older skin you’ve had removed.

During your initial consultation, we will evaluate your skin tone based on the Fitzpatrick scale to determine what level of protection you will need after treatment. Limit the amount of time your face is exposed to the sun during the hours of 10 AM and 2 PM and avoid tanning beds for the first 72 hours after treatment.

Am I a Good Candidate for This Treatment?

One of the most incredible things about this method of hydradermabrasion is that it’s safe for all skin tones and skin types. Therefore, there is an excellent chance that you are a good candidate. This type of treatment is also completely customizable. In other words, you could opt for anti-aging boosters and serums before your 30-year college reunion or focus on hydration during the sunny Southern California summers.
