Thank you for choosing the Skin Lab for your skin health. To ensure that you get the very best results from your treatment, please follow the guidance below
Do’s
– Keep your skin clean and hydrated, I recommend only rinsing your face with cool/warm water for the first 24-hours then go back to using a gentle cleanser after that.
– It is essential to use SPF if you are going outside.
– Take some before & after pics so you can see even the small changes in your skin.
Avoid
– Taking anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen.
– Try not to touch your face with your hands or clothing such as hats or scarves, reducing the chance of infection or irritation.
– Heat on the skin that can be caused by vigorous exercise or hot showers.
– If possible avoid wearing make-up for 24-48 hours after your treatment, if you need to then use stabilising repair cream as a barrier cream before applying your make-up.
– Tanning, fake tan or sunbeds
– Waxing , threading or other facial treatments for 48-hours after your treatment
– Using your active skincare products such as vitamin c or retinoids for at least 72-hours.
What you may experience
– Your skin may take 24-48 for the redness and irritation to calm down after your treatment (it may feel a little like sunburn), this is perfectly normal, if it feels warm to touch then you can use a cold compress like a face cloth to cool it down.
– You may find on days 2-5 after your treatment that your skin will start to feel tight and possibly flake in certain areas, you can use either milkfoliant or microfoliant to gently exfoliate the dead skin.
– Be prepared for your skin to look a little lacklustre for upto 14 days after the treatment, it will take a little while for the glow to come, this is a marathon not a sprint and the results will last longer.
PRO Restore
– Cut open your tube of pro restore and use it on your skin within 6-12 hours of your microneedling in 1 or 2 goes. Pro restore excelorates healing so it is important to use the remainder of the tube while your skin is still reacting to the treatment.
Exo-Booster
– Use the remaining exo-booster on your skin for the next 24 hours, re-apply until it is all gone. There are 10-billion exosomes in the bottle of exo-booster and it is important that we get as many of those into your skin while the microchannels are still open, I would suggest that you re-apply approximately 3 hours then again 6 hours post treatment. Apply with gentle circular movements with clean finger tips.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns after your treatment, remember these are advanced skin treatments that are working towards achieving your healthiest skin!
