The SaltFacial® Pre & Post Treatment
We are excited about your upcoming appointment and are committed to ensuring you have a comfortable and
successful experience with us! To help prepare for your visit, we've outlined some important pre-treatment
instructions.
Before Your Treatment:
-
Discontinue use of Retin-A, retinol, glycolic, or beta-hydroxy acid products of any type for 5 days prior to treatment.
​
-
No chemical peels or mechanical exfoliation for 10 days prior to treatment.
​
-
Avoid sun exposure. Apply SPF 30+ as needed throughout the day.
After Your Treatment
For Light, ‘No Downtime' Treatment:
-
Avoid using all products that contain Retin-A, retinol, glycolic acid, or beta-hydroxy acid for 3 to 5 days post-treatment.
-
Resume your normal skincare regimen as directed by your skincare professional.
For Moderate to Aggressive Treatment (With or Without Post-Treatment Scabbing):
-
AM & PM: Cleanse the treated area with a gentle, non-drying cleanser and pat dry.
-
Apply a light moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated and comfortable.
-
Keep any scabbed areas lightly covered with an occlusive barrier gel or ointment to encourage healing.
-
Do not pick, peel, pull, or scrub the scabs off the skin. Doing so may cause permanent damage and
potential scarring. -
Allow scabbed areas to slough off naturally. Avoid all products that contain Retin-A, retinol, glycolic acid, or beta-hydroxy acid for a minimum of 5 days post-treatment.
-
Apply SPF 30+ as needed throughout the day.
-
When going outdoors, always wear a hat or sun visor.
-
Do not expose the treated area to sunlight, even on cloudy days, without complete sun protection.
-
Resume your normal skincare regimen as directed by your skincare professional.
For best results, it is recommended to create an individualized at-home and in-office treatment plan with Dr. Foo and our aestheticians.​
