|SKIN HEALTH| supporting your skin’s healing following a skin resurfacing treatment minimizes the complications and optimizes your results👌🏾
Here are my POST CARE tips following a skin resurfacing treatment 🧖🏾♀️
* skin’s protective layer is compromised
SUN PROTECTION eg. wear wide brimmed hat, minimize sun exposure
* skin is more prone to oxidative damage
EAT and DRINK foods that contain ANTI-OXIDANTS eg. ginger, pineapple
* skin may be swollen and red due to increased blood circulation
REST. No exercise for at least 24-48hrs.
* skin is very sensitive.
ONLY apply products that have been RECOMMENDED by your Dr.
* skin is dry, flaky and may peel
DO NOT rub or pull off the skin. This can lead to infection, prolong healing or hyperpigmentation.
* skin changes during healing phase can be stressful for some.
the healing stage is DIFFERENT for everyone and for each different treatment. Choose a Dr you are COMFORTABLE with
and COMMUNICATE all your concerns and questions with them. Most importantly, TRUST THE PROCESS🧖🏾♀️
