Introduction:
Glacial Rx uses cryomodulation technology for skin rejuvenation, targeting pigmentation and improving overall skin tone. For best results and a smooth recovery, follow these aftercare recommendations.
Immediate Aftercare (First 24 Hours):
- Skin Sensation: It's normal to feel a cooling or tingling sensation post-treatment. This should subside within a few hours.
- Moisturise: Keep the treated area hydrated by applying a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturiser as directed by your practitioner.
- Avoid Heat: Refrain from using hot water, saunas, steam rooms, or engaging in activities that cause excessive sweating for the first 24 hours.
- Touching: Try to avoid touching, rubbing, or picking at the treated area to prevent irritation or infection.
Continued Care (Days 2 and Beyond):
- Sun Protection: Protect the treated area from direct sun exposure. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher when going outside.
- Gentle Skincare: Use a mild cleanser and avoid exfoliating products or tools for at least one week.
- Avoid Irritants: Refrain from using products with acids, retinoids, or other potential irritants for several days post-treatment, or until the skin has fully recovered.
Potential Issues to Monitor:
- Extended Redness or Swelling: Some mild redness or swelling is expected, but if it persists beyond 48 hours, consult your practitioner.
- Signs of Infection: Increased redness, warmth, pus, or severe pain might indicate an infection. Seek medical attention immediately.
- Unusual Reactions: Notify your practitioner if you experience blistering, severe itching, or any other unexpected skin reactions.
Follow-Up Appointments:
Attend all scheduled post-treatment appointments with your provider. These sessions are essential to monitor the progress of your treatment and to ensure that the skin is healing appropriately.
