PRE & POST CARE INSTRUCTIONS

  • Use of AlumierMD home care products prior to your peel are recommended to prepare the skin, allow for better treatment results and reduce the risk of complications, Please consult your physician or skincare professional for appropriate recommendations for your skin type and condition.

AlumierMD skin treatments result in minimal to no downtime but create dramatic and visible results. Treatments may cause slight redness, tightness, peeling, faking or temporary dryness. Most patients do not find it necessary to apply makeup, as the skin will be smooth, dewy and radiant following your treatment.

POST-PEEL SKIN TREATMENT TIPS

You have just received an AlumierMD Skin Treatment. Due to the nature of these treatments, you should not necessarily expect to “peel”. However, you may have light to moderate flaking in a few localized areas for 3 to 7 days. You may also experience residual redness, which lasts in most patients from 1 to 12 hours. It is recommended that you do not apply makeup the day of the treatment.

AlumierMD

It is ideal to allow the skin to stabilize and rest overnight. However, makeup con be applied, if necessary. Tonight your skin will feel tight and “pulled”. Although you may or may not actually “peel”, it is likely that you will experience a light “exfoliation”. It may toke 2 or more treatments to target the deeper layers of skin to loosen and “peel”. In order to obtain maximum results and avoid complications, please follow the post-peel instructions listed below for approximately 5 to 7 days:

Avoid direct sun exposure and excessive heat.

Only use the products provided to you in your post-procedure kit for 5 to 7 days post treatment. Discontinue use of any product that irritates your skin and contact your skincare professional. Important: Keep your skin hydrated. Hydration is key to proper healing.

DO NOT cleanse your skin on the evening of your peel.
DO NOT pick or pull any flaking skin.
DO NOT tan or use a tanning booth for at least 14 days post peel.
DO NOT have electrolysis, waxing, threading or any other form of hair removal for 7 days post treatment.
DO NOT use facial scrubs or mechanical forms of exfoliation for 14 days post peel.
DO NOT use retinoic acid, AHA or BHA for 14 days post peel.
DO NOT have laser hair removal, photofacials, chemical peels or microdermabrasion for 14 days post peel.
DO NOT apply ice or ice water on the treated area.
DO NOT use hot tubs, steam rooms, saunas, and/or excessively hot showers for 2 days post peel.
DO NOT go swimming for 2 days post peel.
DO NOT participate in aerobic exercise for 2 days post peel.

Microblading Aftercare

Taking care of the area of skin where microblading took place is similar to tattoo care, if a bit more intensive. The pigment immediately following the procedure will appear quite dark, and the skin underneath will be red. It will take anywhere from 7-14 days for the skin to begin to appear healed and for the pigment to fade to its regular shade.

Follow these steps to properly take care of your skin after microblading:

  • Avoid getting the area wet for up to 10 days, which includes keeping your face dry during a shower.
  • Don’t wear makeup for at least a week. This is because the pigments are still settling in to the shallow cuts in your skin caused by the blading.
  • Don’t pick at scabs, tug, or itch the eyebrow area.
  • Avoid saunas, swimming, and excessive sweating until the area is completely healed and you have a follow-up appointment.
  • Keep your hair away from your brow line.
  • Apply any medicated cream or healing balm provided by your technician
