Yes, to promote optimal healing and prevent complications, it’s important to avoid certain skincare products for a short period after your PDO thread lift. Here’s what to keep in mind:
- Harsh actives: Avoid products containing retinol, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or other strong exfoliating ingredients for at least a week after your treatment, or as recommended by your provider. These can irritate sensitive skin.
- Makeup: For the first 24 hours, it’s best to avoid makeup entirely. After that, opt for gentle, mineral-based makeup if coverage is desired.
- Sunscreen: While always important, diligent sunscreen use (SPF 30 or higher) is crucial after any procedure that leaves skin sensitive.
- New products: Avoid trying new skincare products during the initial healing period to minimize the risk of irritation.
Focus on:
- Gentle cleanser: Use a mild cleanser to wash the treated area.
- Moisturizer: A hydrating, fragrance-free moisturizer will soothe and support your skin.
Your AIVI Aesthetics provider will provide specific aftercare instructions and product recommendations.
