Aftercare for Mesoestetic Peel

Thank you for choosing Skin Medical for your Mesoestetic Peel treatment. To ensure the best possible results and a smooth recovery, please take a moment to review the following aftercare guidelines. 

What to expect after your Mesoestetic Peel treatment: 

• Immediately after your treatment, your skin may appear as though you have moderate sunburn, with a feeling of warmth and tightness.
• Mild swelling and redness are common and should subside within 1–2 days. 
• Over the next 7 days, you may experience dryness, flakiness, and darkening of the treated area. This is part of the natural exfoliation process as your skin renews itself.

Please let us know if you experience any symptoms that feel unusual or prolonged.

✅ Soothing Cream: Continue to apply the soothing cream for 2-3 days post-treatment to help calm and hydrate your skin. 
✅ Active Skincare: Avoid using any active skincare products for at least 3 days. Active ingredients such as AHAs, BHAs, Retinol (Vitamin A), Vitamin C (in low pH formulas), and other exfoliating products should not be used until 5 days after your treatment to ensure the proper healing environment. 
✅ Gentle Cleansing: For 48 hours, use a soothing cleanser or face wash with tepid (lukewarm) water. Be gentle and avoid scrubbing or rubbing the treated area. Dry your face gently with a clean towel, and always ensure your hands are clean before touching your skin. 
✅ Keep skin hydrated with a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer. 
✅ Do not pick, scratch, or peel the skin, this can lead to irritation, hyperpigmentation, or scarring. 
✅ Makeup Application: Avoid applying makeup for at least 12 hours post-treatment. If you do apply makeup, ensure that your makeup brushes are clean to avoid introducing bacteria. 
✅ Sun Protection: Immediately after the procedure, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50+) to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. 
✅ Sun Avoidance: For the next 2 weeks, avoid direct sun exposure. Always use an SPF 50 sunscreen on the treated area, even when indoors, to protect your skin from UV damage. 
✅ Heat Exposure: Avoid exposing the treated area to extreme heat (e.g., saunas, hot tubs, or intense exercise) for 24–48 hours after your treatment to reduce irritation. 
✅ Avoid Irritants: For at least 5 days, refrain from using Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs), Retinol, and Vitamin C as these can irritate the newly treated skin. 
✅ Swelling and Bruising: Swelling and redness are normal and typically subside within a few days. You may use cool compresses to alleviate any discomfort or swelling. 
✅ Flaking and Peeling: Dryness and flaking are part of the natural healing process, and it is important to allow your skin to shed naturally without picking or scratching the treated area. 
✅ Hydration: Keep your skin hydrated by applying moisturizers that are gentle and free from active ingredients that could cause irritation. 
✅ Avoid Scrubbing and Exfoliating: Do not use physical exfoliants or scrub your skin for 7 days following your treatment. Let your skin naturally heal and renew itself. 
✅ Do not have any waxing, threading, laser, electrolysis, or other hair removal on the treatment area at least 1 week before your peel.
