Sun exposure and Make up:

Strict sun avoidance for 7 days post procedure. You may begin applying SPF daily starting 24 hours post treatment. Makeup can be applied 24 hours post procedure, however discontinue if you experience any irritation as skin may be more sensitive during the healing period.

Avoid exercise for 24 hours or until redness is resolved.

SkinCare Regimen:

Continue skin care as normal with exception of Retinols or direct acids until redness resolves. Do not use prescription strength retinol for 7 days prior or post treatment. If you’re unsure of what skincare to use post treatment, talk to your provider and see what they recommend is best for your skin type.

Your next VirtueRF treatment can be scheduled in 4-6 weeks. Your provider will discuss a custom treatment plan with you to meet your goals.
