Q: My skin feels irritated. Can I use moisturizer?

A: It is normal to experience temporary redness or sensitivity following treatment, especially if you have sensitive skin. We recommend waiting at least 90 minutes before applying any skincare products. During this time, the skin may appear pink or slightly red. After 90 minutes, you may apply a gentle moisturizer or the post-care products recommended by your provider. Strong active ingredients should be avoided until your skin has fully recovered.

Q: How long before I see results?

A: Many clients notice their skin appears brighter, smoother, and more refreshed within several days of treatment. Improvements in overall skin appearance may continue over a series of treatments. The number of sessions recommended will depend on your individual skin goals and concerns.

Q: What should I expect during my appointment?

• Most clients find the treatment comfortable and well tolerated.

• While the treatment is not as relaxing as a traditional facial, we strive to make the experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

• You may experience mild sensitivity during the treatment depending on your skin type and treatment area.

• Please discontinue retinol-based products, AHAs, and BHAs for one week prior to treatment unless otherwise directed by your skincare professional, as these ingredients may increase skin sensitivity.

Q: What should I expect after my appointment?

• Mild redness may occur immediately following treatment and can last from several hours up to two days.

• Minor swelling may occur but typically subsides within a few hours.

• Wait at least 6 hours before applying products to the skin unless otherwise directed.

• After this period, you may apply the recommended post-care products or a gentle moisturizer.

• Your skin may feel warm, tight, dry, or mildly sensitive for a short period following treatment.

• Some clients experience mild itching or dryness as the skin recovers.

• Most clients return to their regular daily activities the following day.

Q: What should I do after my treatment?

A: Proper aftercare is an important part of achieving the best possible treatment outcome.

For the first several days following treatment:

• Avoid applying products to the skin for at least 6 hours after treatment, aside from recommended post-care products.

• Avoid cleansing the skin for at least 6 hours following your appointment.

• Avoid intense exercise, swimming, hot tubs, and saunas for approximately 72 hours.

• Use proper sun protection and limit direct sun exposure whenever possible.

• Avoid exfoliating products, retinol, AHAs, BHAs, and other active ingredients for at least 7 days or as directed by your provider.

• Keep your skincare routine simple and gentle while your skin recovers.

Avoiding excessive exfoliation, over-cleansing, and prolonged sun exposure will help support post-treatment recovery and maintain the appearance of healthy, radiant-looking skin.
