PREPARING FOR YOUR TREATMENT

Two Weeks Before Treatment

1. Avoid Sun Exposure:

   • Protect your skin from the sun by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily.

   • Avoid tanning beds, sunbathing, or any artificial tanning products.

2. Stop Certain Products:

   • Discontinue the use of retinoids (e.g., Retin-A, Tretinoin), alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), or other exfoliating agents.

   • Avoid skin-lightening products containing hydroquinone or similar ingredients.

One Week Before Treatment

1. No Other Treatments:

   • Do not schedule chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser treatments within 7 days of your MOXI session.

2. Stop Using Blood-Thinning Agents (if approved by your healthcare provider):

   • Avoid medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, and supplements such as fish oil, vitamin E, or garlic, which may increase the risk of bruising.

3. Avoid Skin Irritants:

   • Stop using harsh products with strong fragrances, alcohol, or dyes on the treatment area.

Two Days Before Treatment

1. No Hair Removal:

   • Avoid waxing, threading, or the use of depilatory creams on the treatment area.

2. Shave if Directed:

   • If instructed by your provider, gently shave the treatment area 24-48 hours before your appointment.

CARING FOR YOURSELF POST-PROCEDURE

Immediately After Treatment

1. Redness and Sensitivity:

   • It’s normal to experience redness, warmth, and mild swelling for 1-3 days. These sensations may feel similar to a mild sunburn. Use a cold compress or ice pack wrapped in a clean cloth to soothe the skin if needed.

   • We've just activated 2 billion Age Zero® Exosomes on your skin—let them work their magic undisturbed until tomorrow morning. Embrace the hero within, allowing these microscopic marvels to sculpt a more youthful you, without interference.​

2. ​Itching may be experienced during the healing phase and is completely normal. Oral Benadryl may help itching but can cause drowsiness. 

The Morning After Your Treatment & Each Morning For The Next Week

1. Double cleanse with The Papaya Enzyme Gentle Cleanser

2. After cleansing, apply The Phyto Multi-Correction Serum

3. Apply The Fractionated Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum

4. Next, apply the The Lipid Replenishing Soft Cream

5. Finally, and crucially, liberally apply The Skin Perfecting Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 to ensure full coverage over the treated area. Reapply regularly when outdoors. For optimal protection, please wear a hat to shield your face from direct sunlight.

Enhance Your Recovery

1. Avoid Makeup:

   • Refrain from using makeup or heavy skincare products for at least 24-48 hours or until redness subsides.

2. No Exfoliation:

   • Avoid exfoliating products or harsh scrubbing on the treated area. Allow the skin to heal naturally.

3. Hydration and Nutrition:

   • Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet to support skin healing.

First Week After Treatment Lifestyle Recommendations

1. Sun Protection, Sun Protection, Sun Protection:

   • Avoid direct sun exposure as much as possible. Apply The Skin Perfecting Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 every morning, even indoors, and reapply throughout the day. Wear a wide-brimmed hat or protective clothing when outdoors.

2. Do Not Pick or Scratch:

   • Treated skin may develop a “sandpaper” texture or flake as it heals. This is normal. Do not pick or peel the skin, as this can lead to scarring or pigmentation issues.

3. No Heat or Sweating:

   • Avoid hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, or strenuous exercise for 3-5 days. Excessive heat can irritate the treated skin.

4. Avoid Certain Products:

   • Do not use retinoids, alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), or any other active ingredients until your provider advises it’s safe to resume.

Healing Expectations

• Skin may feel tight, dry, or slightly rough as the healing process progresses. This is normal and temporary.

• Full results may take 1-3 months to appear as collagen remodeling occurs.
