Moxi Pre & Post Care Instructions

PRE-TREATMENT:
• Avoid chemical exfoliants (glycolic acid, salicylic acid, retinols, retinoids) for a few days before treatment.
• Avoid blood thinning medications (such as aspirin) and alcohol 48 hours prior.
• You may experience slight swelling due to your body's histamine response. To help minimize this, consider taking an antihistamine (Claritin, Zyrtec) one hour before treatment.

FOR 72 HOURS AFTER TREATMENT, PLEASE AVOID:
• Exercise or activities that cause sweating
• Hot showers
• Saunas

POST-TREATMENT:

IMMEDIATELY AFTER:
• Your skin may feel warm, similar to a sunburn, for about 1–2 hours. This is normal and expected.
• Mild to moderate redness is normal.
• You can apply an ice pack on and off for a few minutes at a time. Avoid overuse, as it may cause additional swelling.

1–2 HOURS AFTER:
• Once the heat sensation subsides, apply Alastin Skin Nectar, followed by Alastin Ultra Light Moisturizer (both included in your post-care kit).
• Wear a hat outdoors and avoid prolonged sun exposure. Try to stay indoors the rest of the day.

THE NIGHT OF TREATMENT:
• You may take Benadryl to help minimize swelling overnight.
• If you’re prone to swelling, consider sleeping with your head elevated.

THE MORNING AFTER:
• Gently cleanse your face using Alastin Ultra Calm Cleansing Cream and lukewarm water. Do not scrub.
• Apply Alastin Skin Nectar, Ultra Light Moisturizer, and SilkShield Sunscreen.
Note: Not wearing SPF, especially during healing, may result in hyper/hypopigmentation or scarring.

FOR ONE WEEK AFTER:
• Gently wash with Alastin Ultra Calm Cleansing Cream and lukewarm water (do not scrub).
• Apply Alastin Skin Nectar, Ultra Light Moisturizer, and SilkShield Sunscreen.
