Congratulations on taking the first step towards radiant skin with a Shakura Pigmentation facial treatment! At Shakura, we believe that achieving your skincare goals is a journey, and proper post-treatment care plays a vital role in maximising and prolonging your results. This guide reviews essential tips and recommendations, including simple things to do at home, to ensure you maintain that healthy, glowing complexion long after you leave our salon.
Immediate Post-Treatment Care
Your skin may be slightly more sensitive immediately after a facial treatment. Here’s what to do and what not to do:
- Hands Off: Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area to minimise irritation and allow the skin to heal undisturbed.
- Gentle Cleansing: When it’s time to cleanse, use a mild, fragrance-free cleanser to avoid any potential irritation.
- Hydration is Key: Apply a soothing moisturiser to hydrate and protect the skin. This will help maintain the skin’s moisture barrier and promote healing.
- Skip the Makeup: Avoid applying makeup for at least 12 hours, or as reviewed and recommended by your Shakura consultant, to allow your skin to breathe and recover.
Supporting Skin’s Natural Healing Process
While Shakura Pigmentation treatments are non-invasive and require no downtime, it’s still important to allow your skin to rejuvenate naturally after a facial treatment. This will optimise the treatment’s effects and help you achieve the best possible results. Let’s review how you can support it:
- Sun Protection: Protect your skin from sun exposure by diligently applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF. This is crucial to prevent further pigmentation and maintain the results of your treatment.
- Gentle Skincare: Avoid harsh skincare products or exfoliants for a few days after your treatment, as your skin may be more sensitive.
- Hydration: Keep your skin hydrated by regularly applying a gentle moisturiser. This will help soothe and nourish the skin, promoting optimal healing.
- Healthy Lifestyle: Maintain a healthy lifestyle with adequate sleep, a balanced diet, and stress management techniques. These factors contribute to overall skin health and can enhance the effects of your treatment.
