Pre & Post Care is essential for optimal results! Be sure to follow all instructions listed below – and Let me know if you have any questions!

🌟 Pre-Treatment Instructions

🌟 Post-Treatment Instructions

✅ Regardless of the treatment received, please follow these universal guidelines:

• Keep the area clean, hydrated, and protected from direct sunlight.
• Use only water to rinse/cleanse your face for the first 48-hours and then only use gentle skincare products for at least 5–7 days post-treatment. (Avoid ingredients such as: fragrances, alcohols, parabens, sulfates, exfoliants, Retinoids, AHAs – *glycolic, lactic and maleic acids and vitamin C, as they can cause inflammation, irritation, redness and cause dryness to the healing skin.)
• Do not pick, scratch, rub aggressively or exfoliate the treated areas. This will further irritate the area.
• Avoid makeup, sunscreen and active skin care products on treated areas for at least 48 hours.
• Avoid heavy sweating, hot tubs, saunas, swimming pools, beaches, hot yoga, or steam rooms for at least 48 hours.
• Avoid direct sunlight, wear a large brimmed hat, and WAIT to wear your broad-spectrum SPF 30+ or make-up for 48 hours after treatment.

💎Microdermabrasion Aftercare

• This treatment exfoliates the skin and promotes new cell growth.
• ❓What to Expect:
  • Mild redness, sensitivity, and tightness (like a mild sunburn)
  • Possible flaking or peeling within 3–5 days
• 📃Instructions:
  • Cleanse with a gentle, non-exfoliating cleanser for 5–7 days.
  • Apply hydrating moisturizer (ceramide or barrier balance) twice daily. (Recommend DefenAge Pro Exclusive)
  • Apply 8-in-1 Bio Barrier serum twice daily. (Recommend DefenAge Pro Exclusive)
  • Use cool compresses if skin feels warm or irritated.
  • Avoid all exfoliants, retinols, AHAs/BHAs for 7 days.
  • Resume your regular skincare routine after 7–10 days, or as advised.

🧬 Microneedling (Dermafrac) Aftercare

• This treatment uses micro-channels to infuse active serums for collagen stimulation and rejuvenation. This treatment stimulates the skin to naturally turnover old skin cells, and create newer skin to enhance appearance, tone, texture, brightness and firmness. It also helps to absorb all skincare products used daily.
• ❓What to Expect:
  • Redness for 24–48 hours
  • Slight swelling or sensitivity
  • Tightness or dryness for a few days
• 📃Instructions:
  • Do not wash your face for at least 6–8 hours post-treatment.
  • Use only gentle cleanser and cool water for the first 2 days.
  • Apply hyaluronic acid serum and a healing moisturizer daily. (Recommend DefenAge Pro Exclusive)
  • Avoid sun exposure and apply SPF 30+ every morning (after the first 48 hours). Be sure to REAPPLY your sunscreen every two hours if in the sun.
  • Avoid active skincare ingredients such as retinol, vitamin C, glycolic acid for 5–7 days.
  • Avoid exfoliators such as the DefenAge Pro Exclusive 2-Minute Reveal Mask or any other mechanical exfoliating creams or masks for 7 days.
• Optional:
  • Use Red Light LED light therapy 24 hours post-procedure to reduce inflammation and enhance healing.

⚡ Skin Classic Aftercare (High-Frequency Skin Irregularity Treatment)

• This treatment targets skin tags, broken capillaries, milia, sebaceous hyperplasia, and other irregularities using high-frequency radio waves, which dehydrates the cells so they will form a light crust, and fall off – removing the skin irregularity, and/or significantly lightening it..
• ❓What to Expect:
  • Treated spots will crust, darken, or scab before sloughing off (typically in 3–14 days)
  • Temporary redness or sensitivity at the treatment site
  • If treated spot stays too moist, it may take longer to heal
• 📃Instructions:
  • Do not touch or pick at treated areas—let them fall off naturally.
  • Keep the treated areas DRY! Avoid long hot showers, swimming, hot tubs, steam rooms and other prolonged moist/wet activities until the treated irregularities fall off. If dried areas become moist and soggy – it can delay healing and could leave temporary red/pink spots.
  • Cleanse gently with a non-active, non-acidic cleanser – use fingertips and not a cloth or luffa.
  • Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly or healing ointment to protect and moisturize if irritated.
  • Avoid exfoliants and active skincare products on treated areas for at least 10 days.
  • Avoid shaving over treated areas until fully healed.
  • Note: Full results may take 7–21 days depending on the skin condition treated.

⚠️ When to Contact:

• Signs of infection (increased redness, swelling, pus, pain).
• Unexpected or prolonged reaction (lasting more than 5–7 days for microdermabrasion or microneedling, or more than 21 days for Skin Classic).
