After Treatment Care for Skin Boosters
1. Immediate Post-Treatment Care
- Avoid Touching the Treated Area: Refrain from touching, massaging, or applying pressure to the treated areas for at least 24 hours to allow the product to settle.
- Avoid Heat Exposure: Avoid hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and direct sun exposure for at least 48 hours to reduce the risk of swelling and irritation.
- Cold Compresses: Apply a cold compress or ice pack (wrapped in a clean cloth) to the treated areas for 10-15 minutes at a time to help reduce swelling or bruising.
2. Activity Restrictions
- Avoid Strenuous Activity: Refrain from intense physical activities and workouts that cause sweating for at least 24-48 hours after the treatment.
- Sun Exposure: Minimize direct sun exposure and always apply sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) when going outdoors to protect the treated area.
3. Skincare Routine
- Avoid Makeup and Active Skincare Products: Do not apply makeup or use active skincare products (such as retinoids, acids, or exfoliants) on the treated areas for at least 24 hours.
- Gentle Cleansing: After 24 hours, cleanse the treated area with a mild, non-irritating cleanser. Avoid scrubbing or using hot water.
- Moisturize: Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to soothe the skin and maintain hydration.
4. Follow-up Care
- Treatment Results: Skin booster results typically develop over the next few days, with improvements in skin texture, hydration, and elasticity becoming more noticeable over time.
- Additional Sessions: Depending on your skin condition and goals, multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results. Follow your doctor’s guidance on the treatment plan.
5. Potential Side Effects
- Mild Swelling or Redness: Swelling, redness, or tenderness in the treated area is normal and should subside within a few days.
- Bruising: Some patients may experience minor bruising at the injection sites, which usually resolves within a week.
6. When to Contact the Clinic
- Signs of Infection: If you notice excessive redness, warmth, swelling, or pus at the injection sites, contact your doctor immediately as these may be signs of infection.
- Prolonged or Severe Side Effects: If you experience any severe or prolonged side effects, such as extreme discomfort or unusual swelling, contact the clinic for further evaluation.
