One of the most important parts of receiving medical aesthetic procedures is following your post-care instructions. This helps to heal and protect the skin to its greatest potential and avoids complications.
How Do I Avoid Infections After Procedures?
It is important to note that although the treatments at Neu Look are non-invasive, they are still medical procedures. We introduce needles, cannulas, and lasers to the skin to improve skin texture, tone, and volume. Anytime the skin is punctured or altered, there is a possibility of infection.
To minimize risks, our providers wash their hands frequently, use gloves, and sanitize the skin before treatments. It is equally important that you continue to keep your skin clean during the healing process. To prevent infection:
- Avoid wearing makeup the day of and the day after your procedure.
- Refrain from touching your face.
- Skip exercise on the day of your procedure.
Are There Any Products I Need to Use After My Procedures?
We always suggest using a medical-grade skincare routine tailored to your specific needs. If you are investing in Botox, filler, or laser treatments to improve your skin, maintaining a high-quality skincare routine is essential.
For example, after C02 laser, fractional laser, or microneedling, your skin may become dry or flaky. A proper ceramide cream and a zinc-containing sunscreen can help with recovery. Our providers will apply sunscreen after any injection and recommend using a zinc-based sunscreen daily.
Our Neu Look providers will educate you and provide you with printed post-procedure instructions after every visit.
Are There Any Activity Restrictions After My Procedures?
If you plan to exercise on the day of your procedure, we recommend doing so in the morning beforehand. After any Botox, filler, laser, or microneedling procedure, we advise avoiding exercise for the rest of the day to prevent infection and minimize the risk of product migration.
Additionally, if you receive Botox, avoid lying down for four hours after the procedure to prevent the product from migrating into another muscle.
