Complete Guide to Non-Surgical Skin Tightening Treatment Care
Discover essential care tips for non-surgical skin tightening treatments in our comprehensive guide. Learn about pre-treatment preparations, post-treatment care, and effective skincare routines to enhance treatment results and ensure a smooth recovery.
Before Your Non-Surgical Skin Tightening Treatment
Medications and Health Conditions to Report
Medications and Health Conditions to Report
- If you're pregnant, nursing, or currently on Accutane (treatment is possible 6 months after the last Accutane dose if treating the face).
- Report any active cold sores, fever blisters, or skin infections.
- Inform our staff about all medications you're taking, especially antibiotics like Tetracycline or Doxycycline, which can increase photosensitivity.
Skin Care and Medications to Avoid One Week Before Treatment
- Refrain from sun exposure and sunless tanning. We cannot treat sunburned or tanned skin.
- Discontinue use of skin irritants (glycolic/salicylic acids, benzoyl peroxide, retinol products like Retin A, Tazorac, Triluma, Differin, and Vitamin C) in the area to be treated.
Day Before and Day of Your Treatment
- If you have a history of cold sores, inform our staff so we can prescribe anti-viral medication. Active cold sores or skin infections will necessitate rescheduling.
- On the day of treatment, please arrive without makeup or moisturizers on the area to be treated. We provide cleansers if needed.
- For those using topical numbing cream or anti-anxiety medication, arrive 45 minutes early and follow our specific instructions.
Post-Treatment Care for Non-Surgical Skin Tightening
Immediate Aftercare
- Redness and swelling are normal. In rare cases of blistering, use a prescribed topical antibiotic ointment.
Skin Care Post-Treatment
- Avoid ice packs as they might reduce treatment effectiveness.
- Makeup can be applied immediately after treatment.
- Gently cleanse and moisturize the treated area on the day of treatment. Resume regular skincare the following day.
Activity Recommendations
- Postpone waxing, tweezing, and the use of depilatory creams for at least 3 days.
- Avoid strenuous activities, hot tubs, saunas, and steam rooms right after treatment.
- Hydration and a balanced diet are important for your recovery.
Sun Protection and Skincare Products
- Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher containing Zinc Oxide from the day of treatment, and continue daily.
- You can resume the use of skin irritants like glycolic/salicylic acids, benzoyl peroxide, retinol products, and vitamin C 3 days post-treatment.
- Resuming Other Treatments
- Wait at least one week post-treatment before undergoing additional procedures like Wrinkle Relaxer, Dysport, chemical peels, and dermal fillers.
Personalized Aftercare
- Our team will provide a tailored post-treatment skincare regimen to enhance the results of your non-surgical skin tightening treatment.
