Day 1
Please avoid doing anything to your skin anything to you skin for 24 hours after your treatment, the spicules will be in your skin for up to 72 hours so its normal to still feel them after treatment,
they are not absorbed by the body and will naturally discharge when skin cell renewal starts to occur. Please don’t excessively rub your skin.
1. If the skin becomes itchy this is normal, you can pat itchy skin with your recovery serum/toner or wet your face with a cotton pad accordingly. Do not scratch the dry and itchy areas to avoid discomfort making it feel worse.
2. Peeling is possible on the third day after treatment, please do not peel off forcefully with your hands, instead, moisturise the skin thoroughly. If you remove dead skin cells forcefully before
they are ready to shed, the skin may scar or become troublesome. only 26% of people peel on their first Resurfacing or Revitalising SQT session and only 1 in 10 peel from Anti Ageing and Nourish & Hydrate, if you don't peel don't panic - it doesn't mean its not working.
3. Make sure to protect the skin and avoid the sun after treatment. Always apply a non-irritating sunscreen as skin is very sensitive to UV rays after the procedure. (Freckles or pigmentation might occur when skin is exposed to the sunlight without applying sunscreen.)
Day 2 to 7
AM – Gentle Cleanse using a facewash with no irritating or exfoliating ingredients, follow with a rose water toner containing no alcohol, followed with a pharmaceutical grade hyaluronic acid
and broad spectrum SPF50. We recommend the BOSSFACE Cosmeceuticals range but your skin specialist may also recommend you an alternative range. You can use your SQT recovery serum as many times as you like while your skin is recovering. If using this, please apply before using your hyaluronic acid after cleansing and toning.
PM – Gentle Cleanse, Hyaluronic Acid, Gentle Night Cream (No active ingredients such as glycolic acid, retinol etc)
DO NOT use steam/sauna/swimming pools or extreme heat for 5 days post treatment.
Avoid Washing hair for 6 hours after treatment.
Only start active ingredients such as Retinol, AHA,BHA and potent Vitamin C AFTER 7 DAYS or once skin is fully healed.
Exercise is fine after 24 hours.
Make up can be worn 24 hours later but you may want to avoid when the skin starts to peel as it will be more noticeable and isn’t as hygienic. If necessary, use a tinted SPF or mineral formulation which is kinder to skin.
