INSTRUCTIONS
During the first few hours after the treatment, you may experience a warm to burning sensation, similar to a sunburn. Flushing, redness, tingling, itching, and tightness are normal and indicate the healing process. Remember that this treatment stimulates natural skin healing and requires multiple sessions (2-6 treatments) for optimal results based on your age and skin concerns
Day 1 (treatment day):
After 90 minutes and before bed, apply the hydration gel with clean hands. Avoid rinsing with water or touching your face.
Day 2 am:
In the morning, wash your hands and rinse your face with water (no cleanser). Dry your face with a disposable paper towel.
Apply only the hydration gel, Aquaphor, and a mineral SPF. Avoid other products.
Apply mineral SPF regardless of staying indoors. Protect your face from the sun.
You may resume regular makeup use 24 hours after the treatment. Ensure clean brushes.
Day 2 pm:
Wash your face with a gentle cleanser. Rinse with lukewarm water and dry with paper towels.
Apply the aftercare serums. Use 1-3 pumps of serum #1, let it dry for 1 minute, then apply serum #2 in the same manner.
Apply a gentle moisturizer. Optionally, use a light amount of Aquaphor as the final step or in place of the moisturizer.
Avoid using exfoliating or acidic products such as retinol, BHA, AHA, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, etc., during the first week.
Days 3-7 am & pm:
Cleanse with a gentle cleanser, apply both serums, and moisturize as needed.
Always follow the instructions for applying SPF.
After 7 days, you may gradually reintroduce other skincare products. If any reaction occurs, discontinue use temporarily and try again. Some sensitivity may be expected during the first few weeks.
