Treat your skin as open wounds. Wash your hands before touching your face, and keep your skin clean at all times.

Your skin has micro-channels to absorb all the products you apply. Avoid fragrance, parabens,
citrus based preservatives, acids such as AHA, dye, mineral oil, silicones, and petrolatum on your
skin for 48 hours.

Apply the recommended post-procedural serum every few hours when your skin feels dry. Apply sterile bio-cellulose Replenishing Face and Neck sheet masks at night for the best results.

Only take prescribed pain medication or Tylenol for pain relief (not both) after your procedure, unless instructed otherwise. Other pain relievers such as Aspirin or NSAIDs (i.e. Advil, Motrin, Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Aleve, etc.) can thin the blood and may cause bleeding or bruising.
