What could affect your treatment results?
Following Aftercare Instructions
Always adhere to the post-treatment care instructions provided by your provider. These are tailored to your specific procedure and can significantly influence the outcome.
Overall Hydration
Drinking plenty of water helps maintain skin hydration and supports the body's healing process after treatments like Botox, dermal fillers, chemical peels, microneedling, or laser therapies.
Keep the Treatment Area clean
For procedures like microneedling, facials, laser resurfacing, or chemical peels, it's important to avoid touching, rubbing, or scratching the treated area to prevent irritation, infection, or scarring.
Using SPF
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily, even when indoors. Sun exposure can damage the skin, reverse treatment benefits, or cause pigmentation changes.
Avoid becoming Hot & Sweaty
After treatments like laser therapy or microneedling, avoid hot showers, saunas, heavy exercise, or any activity that increases body temperature for at least 48-72 hours to prevent irritation or swelling.
Abstaining Drinking & Smoking
Smoking impairs circulation and slows down healing. Alcohol can increase swelling and bruising, especially after injectables or treatments involving a risk of inflammation.
Eating Healthy
Eating nutrient-rich foods with antioxidants, vitamins (especially vitamin C), and minerals can help your skin recover and maintain results. Omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish and flax seeds) can also support healthy skin.
adequate Sleep
Adequate sleep and managing stress levels can help the body heal and rejuvenate, promoting better treatment results.
use non-irritating products
Avoid using harsh skincare products or exfoliants for 3-5 days after treatments. Stick to gentle, non-irritating products to help the skin heal and avoid inflammation.
avoid applying makeup
Avoid applying makeup immediately after procedures like chemical peels or injectables, as it could cause irritation or infection. Follow your practitioner's specific timeline for when it's safe to wear makeup.
