HYDRAPEEL AFTERCARE

Aftercare Advice for Hydrapeel Treatment

The following aftercare advice is essential to help reduce the risk of treatment complications, improve your healing, and help achieve the best possible results from your Hydrapeel.

Immediate Effects and Skin Care After Hydrapeel Treatment

• The treated area of skin may feel slightly tender and appear red and swollen afterwards. You may occasionally experience skin peeling and appearances may be similar to mild sunburn. These effects will resolve naturally and should be much improved after 48 hours but may take longer to settle. You may experience some minor bruising which may take 1-2 weeks to resolve in some cases.

Avoiding Heat and Irritants

• Avoid hot environments and heat (saunas, sun beds, intense workouts, hot yoga) for the next 48 hours.
• Avoid swimming pools for the next 48 hours.
• Application of SPF30 or SPF50 is essential.
• Avoid using retinol (or other active products) for 7 days before and after the treatment.
• Avoid any perfumes, fake tan or other harsh chemicals for 72 hours after treatment.

Makeup and Skin Care

• Avoid any makeup for 24 hours after treatment as this can increase the risk of infection.
• Avoid rubbing or picking the treated area.
• Avoid any skin exfoliation for 72 hours following treatment.
• It is important to use a regular moisturising cream around two to three times a day on the treated area. Use more regularly if you feel the skin dry or peeling.

Avoiding Alcohol and Caffeine After Hydrapeel Treatment

• Avoid any excess alcohol or caffeine for 48 hours after treatment.

Contacting Your Practitioner

• You must contact your practitioner as soon as possible if you notice any other unwanted side effects.
