Laser Facial Aftercare

laser aftercare instructions

Once you have had your laser facial session, it’s critical to follow the aftercare instructions closely. At Studio Kiku, our goal is to ensure that you get the very best results from your laser facial treatments. By following these instructions you’ll help speed up the healing process and you’ll prevent any complications that may arise from negligent aftercare practices.

• Avoid sun exposure for two weeks 
• Use a gentle cleanser for the first 3 days 
• Avoid makeup for the first 24-48 hours 
• Avoid skin irritants of any kind for 2 weeks (retinol, vitamin C, chemical peels… etc.) 
• Keep your body temperature cool for the first 24-48 hours (ice is ok) 
• Mild redness and/or itchiness may be experienced for the first 24-48 hours

To speed up recovery and achieve the best results from your laser facial, we suggest using suitable skincare pre and post-treatment. It’s ideal to use a gentle cleanser and hydrating serum or moisturizer to keep your skin clean and hydrated as you heal. 

 
Most importantly, daily SPF use is essential to protect your skin from UV rays and blue light, which can contribute to pigmentation and skin aging.
 
We offer AlumierMD in our studio and online. AlumierMD is mineral, medical-grade skincare which is approved to use post-laser.
