At The Aesthetics Loft in Milford, CT, we believe that following proper aesthetic treatment care guidelines is essential to achieve the best results from your aesthetic treatments. Before your appointment, it’s important to avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 48 hours.
Sunburned or irritated skin can interfere with the treatment and its effectiveness. Additionally, discontinue the use of retinoids, exfoliating products, and other harsh skincare treatments at least a week before your session. These can increase skin sensitivity and may cause adverse reactions.
Staying hydrated is another key element in preparing your skin, as well as informing your provider of any medications or supplements you’re taking, especially blood thinners, to ensure your safety during the procedure.
Once your treatment is complete, post-care is just as important. To protect your skin and promote healing, avoid direct sun exposure for several days, and always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. This will help prevent any damage to your treated area. We also recommend sticking to gentle, non-irritating skincare products after your procedure, as harsh ingredients can hinder the healing process. For at least 24 hours, avoid makeup to allow your skin to breathe and recover fully. Strenuous activities such as exercise, hot tubs, and saunas should be avoided for at least 48 hours to prevent swelling or irritation.
By following these pre and post-care guidelines, you can ensure a smoother recovery and maximize the effectiveness of your treatments. The Aesthetics Loft team is here to guide you every step of the way, providing expert care and support. If you have any questions about your treatment or need clarification on the care process, don’t hesitate to reach out.
