To maximize results, the client should follow a healthy skin care regimen at home:

Your skin will feel like as though you have a mild wind burn or sunburn. Maintain hydration, both
topically and internally.
Drink 8 to 12 glasses of water per day. Use hydrating products adapted to skin
type.
o
Use a protective cream with sunscreen (SPF 15 to 30).
The use of a sunscreen above SPF35 is not
recommended because of its high chemical concentration, which can provoke skin irritation.
o
Avoid sun exposure.

Avoid acid products Retin A, AHA’s, (as glycolic acids) and chemical peels for three (3) weeks.

To avoid irritation, all products applied after microdermabrasion must have a pH between 4.5 and 7.0.
