Morpheus8 Pre & Post Care Instructions With Your Alastin Skincare
PRE TREATMENT:
• Please refrain from any chemical exfoliators (glycolic acid, salicylic acid, retinols, retinoids) a few days prior to treatment.
• Please do not have any artificial tanners on the skin.
• Please refrain from any blood thinning medications (if approved by your physician or ordering provider) and alcohol consumption 48 hours prior.
• Let us know if you have any history of cold sores so we can prophylactically treat you with an anti-viral (valtrex).
POST TREATMENT:
FOR 72 HOURS AFTER TREATMENT PLEASE REFRAIN FROM:
• Exercise or any sweat inducing activities (hot showers/saunas).
• Makeup in the treated area(s).
IMMEDIATELY AFTER - DAY 1
• Mild to moderate redness is expected and slight swelling is expected. (Redness intensity and longevity varies from person to person!)
• Your skin will have a heat sensation that is similar to a sunburn for about 1-2 hours. This is a normal and expected response.
• Please keep the skin protected by wearing a hat when outdoors. Avoid peak sun hours (10am–2pm). Please refrain from prolonged sun exposure and try to stay indoors the rest of the day.
THE NIGHT OF TREATMENT - DAY 1
• It is recommended to take a Benadryl (or any antihistamine) prior to bed.
• Sleep with a clean pillow case.
THE MORNING AFTER - DAY 2 - DAY 7
• Gently wash your face with Alastin Ultra Calm Cleansing Cream. Do not scrub.
• Apply Alastin Skin Nectar, followed by Alastin Ultra Light Moisturizer.
• Apply Alastin SilkShield SPF liberally. Not wearing SPF especially during the healing process could cause adverse hyper/hypopigmentation and scarring.
• You may take an anti-histamine for up to 5 days after treatment (e.g. Benadryl, Claritin, Zyrtec to minimize any potential swelling and itchiness you may feel during the healing process.
• Do not pick/rub or scrub at the skin.
ONCE FULLY HEALED FROM YOUR TREATMENT WE RECOMMEND
• Using an anti-aging serum to work synergistically with your treatment. The ZO Growth Factor Serum and ZO Firming Serum are highly recommended.
• Using an SPF liberally (two pumps) with a minimum of 30 every day, especially when driving. It’s important to protect your investment. We highly recommend Alastin Hydratint or Revision Intellishade SPF’s.
• If your provider recommends additional treatments, please book your next session 4-6 weeks apart from eachother. Happy healing!
