Aftercare

Aftercare is an essential step to maximizing the benefits of your Skin Laundry facials. Our team of medical professionals took great care to develop our pre and
post-treatment recommendations to help you maximize your results
& maintain your glow at home.

Signature Laser
& Carbon Laser
facials

Our ND:Yag Laser just stimulated the collagen under the surface of your skin, breaking up pigment and zapping away dirt, oil and inflammation. To protect your complexion while your facial benefits continue to take effect, we have applied Skin Laundry’s Mineral Defense Sunscreen with SPF 30 on your skin.

Please continue to reapply 30+ SPF every 2 hours, even if you are planning to be inside

If you apply makeup or plan to exercise, please thoroughly cleanse your skin with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, sweat, makeup, or bacteria immediately afterwards to avoid blocking your newly laundered pores.

Hold off on any physical exfoliation of the treated area until tomorrow, particularly if you typically use a brush or scrubber, or any cleansers with harsher particles.

Wait a day to use any active topical products such as Vitamin C, retinol, etc.) to reduce your chance of dryness, especially if your skin is still adjusting to a newer product.

Direct sun exposure.

Any new or unfamiliar products (especially without consulting your nurse or doctor first).

Touching or picking at your skin.

Thermo Fractional & Ultra Duo facials*

Our Thermo Fractional facial has created microchannels in your skin to stimulate collagen production and allow your skin to absorb 90% more skincare product than usual. Your nurse has applied a custom medical-grade serum for your skin concerns to achieve your desired results while your pores are most receptive. Please note, we did not apply sunscreen so as not to block the microchannels from absorbing the prescribed serum.

Reapply your medical-grade serum to the treated area every hour for 6 hours following your facial. After the 6 hours, maintain a gentle skincare routine until your skin calms.

Beginning 6 hours after treatment, apply a gentle emollient ointment, such as Aquaphor to help soothe the skin if you experience sensitivity, dryness, or flakiness.
May we recommend our
Vitamin B5 Antioxidant Moisturizer?

Wait 24 hours post-treatment to use any cleanser, and only use gentle skincare products until your skin restores itself to baseline feeling.

Ask your Therapist any questions– don’t be shy, that’s what they do!

For the next day, avoid excessive heat exposure such asa very hot shower, sauna or steam room; excessive sweating; and using SPF, as each could clog your now freshly-opened pores.

For the next two days, steer clear of makeup, abrasive or exfoliating cleansing tools, that could irritate your freshly-revealed skin

For the next week, we advise shading your treated areas from directsun exposure, or any UV-rays, as well as using any unfamiliar new skincare products

Always resist touching or picking at your skin! In particular, allow the micro dots that appear from your Thermo Fractional facial to fall away naturally

* Just to be super clear - if you’ve had our Ultra Duo facial, please do follow these Thermo Fractional tips,
though you have also received a Signature Laser facial, to take some incremental time to be more gentle to your skin for the best results.

Pro Tips:

Now is a great time to apply one of our Hydrating Sheet Masks for an extra boost of hydration. Refrigerating your mask also provides a cooling sensation that feels great, too!

Taking precautions that minimize the spread of bacteria to your face are part of a solid skincare routine!

Clean your pillowcase, makeup applicators, mobile, and all that comes in contact with your freshly-laundered new skin.
