POST CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Do’s & Dont’s

DO NOT get the treated area wet or moist for 24 hours.

DO NOT TOUCH! Treated areas are meant to dry out, darken, and fall off naturally.

DO NOT PICK THE CARBON CRUSTS (scabs) at any stage of the healing process. Premature removal of scabs can result in hyper-hypo pigmentation or possible infection.

DO NOT WEAR MAKE-UP till all the lesions have fallen off completely.

DO NOT EXERCISE for 48 hours.

AVOID heat sources, long hot showers, steam, chlorine, pools, saunas and Jacuzzi’s

DO NOT USE First-Aid Ointment, Vaseline, Shea Butters or other thick moisturizers as these will delay the healing process.

DO Change your pillow cases, head scarfs, and bonnets.

​

Healing Phases

START using the Post-Care Product Kit 24 hours AFTER the treatment. Use the kit morning and night. Use all products all over the face. DO NOT use other products.

1.    Cleanse with a gentle cleanser with your hands. Pat skin dry with a clean towel. DO NOT RUB the skin.

2.    Apply 1-2 pumps of day / night serum.

3.    Apply a nickel size of Moisturizer & SPF 30. REAPPLY SPF every 2-3 hours during sunlight hours of the day. Avoid direct and indirect sun exposure; sunscreen is needed indoors and outdoors. DO NOT apply SPF at night.

The average healing time is 7-10 days. Continue your normal skincare routine after all scabs have fallen off.

We advise not to use other skincare products or facial tools during the healing period. No exfoliating cleansers, pads, gloves, scrubs or brushes. The use of exfoliation of any kind including Glycolic, Salicylic, Benzoyl Peroxide or Retinol will compromise the treatment and cause unnecessary inflammation and premature removal of scabs.

​If you have questions, please contact your esthetician.
