Post-Extraction Aftercare Instructions

Hands Off: Do not touch, pick, or squeeze the treated areas. Your pores are currently open and vulnerable to bacteria from your fingers, which can lead to breakouts or scarring.
Keep the Skin Clean: Avoid applying makeup for at least 24 hours. If you must use a phone, sanitize the screen or use headphones to keep it away from your cheeks.
Avoid Heat & Sweat: Skip the gym, sauna, steam rooms, and hot showers. Excessive heat and sweat can irritate the extraction sites and cause inflammation.
Fresh Bedding: Sleep on a clean cotton pillowcase tonight to minimize bacterial transfer while you sleep.

Gentle Cleansing: Use a mild, non-exfoliating cleanser and lukewarm water. Avoid scrubbing the skin.
Hydrate & Protect: Apply a soothing moisturizer to support the skin barrier.
Sun Exposure: Your skin is more photosensitive after extractions. Avoid direct sun exposure.
Active Ingredients: Pause the use of Retin-A, retinol, vitamin C serums, and chemical exfoliants (AHA/BHAs like glycolic or salicylic acid) for the next 3 days. Let the skin's natural healing process take priority.

Redness: Slight redness or localized swelling is normal and typically subsides within a few hours to a day.
Minor Crusting: Some extraction sites may develop a tiny crust. Do not pick these; they will naturally shed as the skin heals underneath.

Note: If you experience extreme swelling, persistent pain, or signs of an allergic reaction, please contact us.
