after your session

facial

  • wear your sunscreen and reapply every 2 hrs

  • no exfoliating. focus on hydrating products

  • avoid waxing/threading for at least 5 days

  • no lasers/microblading for at least 2 weeks


chemical peels

  • do not wet, wash or cleanse the skin for 12-24 hours

  • no working out or steam (hot showers)

  • use hydrating products only. no exfoliating acids allowed. do not use scrubs or brushes on the face. hyaluronic acid is fine

  • do not use prescriptions or topical treatments from a derm for 1 week

  • do not wax, thread, nair or laser the area for 1-2 weeks.

peels do not have to cause superficial peeling in order to yield results

if peeling does occur, do not remove it. let peeling occur naturally and simply keep the skin hydrated. this can be with a toner or water based moisturizer throughout the day


Microneedling

the healing process takes 3-5 days and can cause flaking/peeling/purging for 1-2 weeks depending on the depth

Day 1-3 after your session:

  • cleanse your face with lukewarm water and hydrating soap 24 hours after your service

  • Cleanse with a gentle/hydrating cleanser only

  • Only use hydrating serums and moisturizers (sheet masks are great for this)

  • Wear Sunscreen, hats, and/or protective clothing

DO NOT:

  • Workout or perform strenuous exercise (saunas, swimming pools, etc.)

  • Use exfoliating acids or scrubs

  • Expose your face to direct sunlight

DO:

  • Keep the area clean as well as surfaces you will come in contact with (pillowcases, wash cloths, etc.)

  • Keep the skin hydrated. You may introduce hydration masks or sheet mask after day 2

  • Contact your esthetician if your skin becomes inflamed, itchy or forms a rash of any kind


Waxing

be delicate with the area for 48 hours. this means no hot showers, no exfoliation and only hydrating products for that period of time. avoid sweating and any extreme temperatures if possible.
