After undergoing a Procell treatment, it’s important to pay attention to the proper aftercare to ensure optimal results and speedy recovery. One key aspect to consider is when you can safely wash your face following the procedure.
The Initial 90 Minutes
The first 90 minutes post-treatment are critical. During a Procell Microchanneling session, your skin develops thousands of tiny micro-injuries, which, although they heal rapidly, require special care. It's essential that nothing touches your face—no hands, no water, no products. This is to prevent bacteria or other foreign substances from entering the open microchannels, which could extend the healing time or negatively affect the outcome of the treatment.
Washing Your Face After 90 Minutes
Once the initial 90-minute period has passed, it is generally safe to wash your face. Use a gentle cleanser and avoid scrubbing or applying pressure. It’s advisable to follow up with mild skincare products, including mineral sunscreen or mineral makeup. If your practitioner recommends waiting longer before washing your face, even until the next day, it’s crucial to follow their personalized advice. This extended wait might be needed to suit your specific skin type and condition.
Next Steps in Skincare
After the first 24 hours, it's recommended to avoid intense workouts or activities causing excessive sweating. Additionally, avoid sun exposure and irritating fabrics that might come into contact with your face. For the following 24 to 48 hours, steer clear of active skincare ingredients like vitamin C serums, exfoliants, or retinoids. Instead, consider incorporating Procell’s two-step aftercare system into your routine: starting with the Cellular Renewal Serum and finishing with the Healing Accelerator Serum. This ensures your skin receives the needed nourishment to maximize the benefits of your Procell Microchanneling treatment.
Long-term Considerations
For long-term care, you might also need to wait around two weeks before scheduling any other skin treatments such as botox, filler injections, or deeper chemical peels. These precautions help ensure your skin heals properly, yielding the best possible results from your Procell Microchanneling treatment.
