Hydrodermabrasion Pre-Treatment and Aftercare Guide
Pre-Treatment: How to Prepare the Skin for Optimal Results
Proper preparation is crucial for maximizing the effectiveness and safety of any Hydrodermabrasion session. Whether it's a first-time client or a regular, clear instructions help prevent irritation and ensure smoother treatment outcomes. Clients should avoid exfoliating acids, tanning beds, or facial waxing at least 48 hours before their appointment. The goal is to keep the skin calm, hydrated, and free from inflammation before using the Hydrodermabrasion system.
| Pre-Treatment Instruction | Why It's Important |
|---|---|
| Stop using AHAs/BHAs for 48 hours | Avoids skin sensitivity |
| Skip sunbathing or tanning beds | Prevents post-treatment redness or peeling |
| Drink plenty of water | Improves hydration response during treatment |
During Treatment: How to Maximize Comfort and Performance
Communicate clearly with the client during each step. Let them know about any cool sensations, gentle suction, or solution application. Use the appropriate Hydrodermabrasion tip and settings according to their skin type. If the skin is reacting mid-treatment, adjust the suction or switch solutions accordingly. Don’t rush. Time spent checking the skin’s response ensures better results.
| Adjustment | When to Use It |
|---|---|
| Lower suction level | Client reports sensitivity or redness |
| Switch to calming solution | Skin shows flushing or irritation |
| Extend hydration step | For dry or dull skin types |
Aftercare: Protecting the Skin for Lasting Results
After the treatment, the skin is more absorbent but also more vulnerable. Guide clients to avoid makeup, sun exposure, and active ingredients like retinol for at least 24 hours. Hydration and SPF are the priorities. Providing a take-home card or digital guide helps reinforce these instructions and prevents misuse of products post-treatment.
| Post-Treatment Step | Recommended Action |
|---|---|
| Sun protection | SPF 30+ daily for 5 days |
| No makeup | Wait 24 hours to prevent clogging |
| Gentle routine only | Use a mild cleanser and soothing serum |
