Microdermabrasion Post-Treatment Instructions

Example form you will sign prior to treatment:

For the next 24 hours, strenuous exercise, or any activity that causes excessive perspiration is not recommended. While it will not harm you or hinder your skin care treatment progress, the perspiration can be irritating. It is important that NO TANNING is done while you are undergoing these treatments, as you may burn severely and reduce the results that may be obtained. Retinoid/Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) usage should be discontinued for 5 days before and continued for 5 days after your treatment. Refrain from waxing, electrolysis or depilatories for at least 7 days. Drink additional water. Your treated skin may be sensitive to any alpha hydroxyl products, retinoids products, some tyrosinase-inhibitors and the sun for a number of days.

DO’sDON’Ts
Maintain hydration (both topically and internally) by drinking plenty of water	Avoid swimming in a chlorinated pool the day of the procedure
UMoisturizers and sunscreen should be applied before leaving the treatment room. Use a strong moisturizer along with sun block SPF-30 or more. Moisturize and reapply sunscreen several times during the day, as needed, and to avoid direct sunlight. Sunscreen is only good for about 2 hours.	Avoid tanning beds and sun tanning for at least one week after the treatment
Cleanse the skin with a recommended cleanser and apply suggested moisturizers	Avoid waxing and depilatories of treated areas for 7 days after the treatment
Get plenty of rest while you are undergoing the skin treatments	Avoid astringents and toners for 24 hours after the treatment
