FACIALS
PRE/POST-CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Park’s high-tech, corrective facials provide you an elevated experience and real, medical-driven results. Here are a few things you can do to improve your results and reduce possible adverse effects.

pre-care

  • Please arrive without makeup on

  • Wear sunscreen with a minimum SPF30 at all times when outdoors. Sunburned skin should not be treated.

  • Avoid sun exposure or the use of tanning beds at least 14 days prior to your treatment.

  • Do not use Accutane (acne medication) for at least 6 months before treatment.

  • Discontinue the use of retinoids (retinol, retinoic acid, tretinoin) for at least 3 days prior to your treatment. Hyaluronic acid is ok.

  • Avoid the use of depilatories, waxing or any product or treatments that may irritate the skin for 1-2 weeks prior to your treatment.

  • Please ensure that you have not had any injectable neurotoxin or fillers for at least two weeks prior to treatment.

  • If you have a history of herpes or cold sores, contact your family doctor to discuss an anti-viral prescription prior to treatment.

  • Some medications or supplements may increase sensitivity. Consult your technician.

POST-care

  • Your skin may have a slight rosy glow for approximately 24-48 hours after treatment. You may also feel like you have a mild sunburn if your skin is extremely sensitive.

  • Avoid direct sun exposure for 1-2 days after your treatment. Use a sunscreen every day that blocks both UVA and UVB rays, preferably one containing an SPF30 or higher.

  • Avoid any irritants such as products containing bleaching creams, Retin A, retinol, glycolic/salicylic acids or astringents for at least 1 week after your treatment.

  • Avoid submerging the area treated in a chlorinated pool or hot tub for the next 3-5 days.

  • You may or may not experience peeling and flaking of the outer, dead layer of skin within the first few days after your treatment. This is uncommon but normal. Do not pick or pull any loosening or peeling skin. This could potentially cause scarring or hyperpigmentation.

  • Acne may temporarily look worse after the first treatment but will improve after additional treatments.
