Sciton Moxi Treatment Aftercare Instructions
Congratulations on taking a step towards revitalized skin with your Sciton Moxi treatment. To ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery, please follow these aftercare instructions:
Immediately Following Your Treatment:
Mild Redness and Swelling: It’s common to experience some redness and swelling similar to a mild sunburn immediately after the treatment. This typically subsides within a few hours to a couple of days.
Cooling the Skin: If necessary, apply a cool compress to soothe the treated area. Avoid applying ice directly.
First 24-48 Hours:
Sun Protection: Protect your skin from the sun. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and avoid direct sunlight. Wear a wide-brimmed hat if you need to be outdoors.
Gentle Skin Care: Use gentle, non-abrasive cleansers and skin care products. Avoid using products containing retinol, acids, or exfoliants until the skin has fully recovered.
Heat Avoidance: Steer clear of high temperatures found in saunas, steam rooms, and hot showers for the first 48 hours to minimize irritation and swelling.
General Skin Care:
Hydration: Keep your skin well-moisturized. Apply a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to support the healing process.
Makeup: You may start using makeup 24 hours after treatment, provided you apply and remove it gently.
Avoid Picking: As your skin heals, you may notice a sandpaper-like texture. It’s essential not to pick or scrub at these areas to prevent scarring.
Long-Term Care:
Ongoing Sun Protection: Continuous protection against UV rays will help maintain your results and prevent further skin damage. Use a high-SPF sunscreen daily.
Follow-Up Treatments: Depending on your skincare goals, additional Moxi sessions may be recommended. Be sure to schedule any follow-up appointments as advised.
When to Contact Your Provider:
Contact our office immediately if you experience excessive swelling, severe pain, signs of infection (e.g., warmth, pus), or any other unusual symptoms.
Expected Results:
Improvement in skin tone and texture can be seen as your skin heals, typically noticeable within a few days, with continued improvements over the following weeks.
