Post Care For Facials:

After Dermalogica Pro Dermaplaning, use a gentle cleanser and hydrating serum with your therapist's product recommendations, and apply sunscreen daily. Avoid active ingredients like retinoids and acids for 3-5 days, makeup on the treatment day, and excessive heat, heavy workouts, saunas, and sun exposure for 24-72 hours. Limit other harsh treatments and activities like waxing for at least a week to allow your skin to heal and optimize results.

What to DO:

Cleanse Gently: Use a gentle, non-foaming cleanser with lukewarm water to clean your face.

Hydrate: Apply a hydrating serum with hyaluronic acid and a lightweight moisturizer to nourish your skin.

Use SPF: Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily to protect your skin, which is more vulnerable to sun damage after treatment.

Follow a Simple Routine:

For two weeks, stick to a simple routine with a gentle cleanser, hydrating serum,

and sunscreen.

What to AVOID:

Active Skincare Products: Do not use retinoids, AHAs (like glycolic acid), or BHAs (like salicylic acid) for 3-5 days.

Makeup: Avoid applying makeup on the day of your treatment.

Sun and Heat: Stay out of direct sun and avoid intense heat from saunas, hot tubs, and heavy workouts for 24-72 hours.

Harsh Treatments: Do not get any facial waxing for 7 days and avoid harsh scrubs or physical exfoliators for 7-14 days.

Scratching or Rubbing: Avoid picking, scratching, or aggressively rubbing the treated area to prevent irritation and potential complications.

Chlorine: Avoid chlorine for at least 24 hours after your treatment.

Microchanneling temporarily creates thousands and thousands of micro-channels into the skin to be repaired by new healthy collagen. It also allows topical solutions to absorb 200%-300% more effectively into the living skin below. During treatment, serums applied (containing naturally-derived growth factors, peptides and cytokines) restore and increase biological communication within the skin during the wound-healing cascade that an aging immune system no longer provides. This is why we recover and heal slower as we get older. A perfect balance of gentle stimulation for your skin to youthfully heal and repair itself, complimented by the infusion of nutritious and vital factors responsible for helping you produce... your best skin!

Here are a few things to remember after your treatment while those micro-channels are healing :

DO NOT apply anything to treated areas for 90 minutes after your treatment is finished unless it is provided to you by your certified ProCell provider with instructions.

DO NOT touch treated areas with your hands, cellphone or any other foreign objects for 90 minutes after your treatment is finished! Bacteria from these sources can cause irritation or possible acne breakout.

Avoid direct sunlight for 24 hours post treatment.

You may apply sunscreen 90 minutes after your treatment is finished.

Hydrate and moisturize your skin constantly to achieve the best results!

Never let your skin dry out!

If you experience excessive dryness in the days or weeks following your treatment, you can purchase additional post-treatment hydrating masks through your certified ProCell provider!

Water is the least expensive and most powerful advantage you can add to your daily skincare routine!

No waxing, depilatory creams, or electrolysis to the area being treated for 5 days prior.

POST CARE RECOMMENDATIONS

Aftercare is critical for achieving your healthiest-looking skin, so we want to make sure you know exactly what to do.

Try to stay out of excessive sun exposure such as tanning and sunbathing for at least 10 days to avoid risk of hyperpigmentation and sensitizing the skin.

Do not apply makeup immediately after treatment. Continue to wear SPF 30+ daily.

Gently cleanse your face before bedtime day of the treatment with a gentle cleanser and tepid water.

Use serums and the recommended skin care products per your skin therapists’ directions.

Avoid sweaty exercise, saunas, and swimming for at least 48 hours after treatment.
