AdvaTX Pre and Post-Care Instructions
Pre-Care Instructions
Before your treatment, it is recommended to avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 2 weeks. You should also avoid using any retinoids or exfoliants for 1 week prior to your treatment. Be sure to discuss any medications or medical conditions with your skin care expert prior to your treatment.
Post-Treatment Instructions
Do not sweat for 24 hours after treatment.
Do not use AHA’s, BHA’s, Retin-A, or Renova for at least 72 hours after treatment.
Avoid direct sunlight for 72 hours after treatment. If outdoor activities are planned, wear a wide brimmed hat and 60 SPF.
Wash your face morning and night with a gentle cleanser.
Continue use of vitamins, treatment products, hydrator, and sunscreen unless otherwise directed by your doctor or skincare professional.
If redness or sensitivity occurs, wash your face and apply a cool compress or ice pack. If sensitivity continues for more than 12hours, contact your physician or skincare provider.
60 SPF should be worn every day.
If you are prone to oral herpes/cold sores, the treatment you have just received may cause a break out, ask your provider for a prophylactic treatment such as Valtrex. (5 days before your treatment and 5 days after are optimal.)
Do not peel or pick at loose skin or crusting, this will cause severe scarring and discoloration to affected area.
If crusting occurs, apply petroleum jelly or Aquaphor to affected area until healed.
Keep skin well hydrated with appropriate moisturizer.
