Aftercare for Dermalux TriWave MD

Thank you for choosing Skin Medical for your Dermalux MD TriWave treatment. We are excited to see you experience the benefits of this advanced skin therapy! To ensure you get the most from your treatment and support your skin’s recovery, please review the following aftercare instructions.

Common side effects following Dermalux MD TriWave treatment may include: 

• Mild redness or a slight flush in the treated area, which is normal and should subside within a few hours.
• Slight warmth or a tingling sensation in the treated skin, which should disappear shortly after the session.
• Dryness or tightness of the skin in the days following treatment.
• Increased sensitivity to sunlight for up to 48 hours. 

These side effects are temporary and should resolve quickly. If you experience anything more severe or prolonged, please contact us. 

✅ Sunscreen Protection: Apply a broad-spectrum SPF sunscreen during the daytime and reapply as needed throughout the day. This is crucial, as your skin may be more sensitive to UV exposure after treatment.
✅ Makeup: Makeup can be applied immediately after your Dermalux treatment, but it is recommended to use mineral makeup, which allows the skin to breathe and won’t clog pores.
✅ Skincare Routine: Continue with your regular skincare routine unless otherwise advised by your skin specialist. Avoid products with retinol, AHAs,  exfoliants, retinoids, hydroquinone or chemical exfoliants for at least 48 hours after treatment to prevent irritation.
✅ Follow the skincare advice provided after your treatment to maximize your results.
✅ You may apply mineral-based, non-comedogenic makeup if needed, but we recommend allowing the skin to breathe for the rest of the day.
✅ Hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and support the healing process.
✅ Avoid Heat: For 24–48 hours post-treatment, avoid saunas, hot tubs, direct sun exposure or other UV treatments and excessive heat exposure, as this can make the skin more sensitive.
✅ Avoid Intense Exercise: Try to avoid excessive sweating and intense physical activity for 24 hours following your Dermalux treatment.
✅ Results Timeline: You may notice an immediate improvement in your skin’s appearance, such as increased radiance and a healthy glow. The full benefits of the Dermalux MD TriWave treatment will continue to develop over the next 48–72 hours as your skin rejuvenates.
