Clinical Protocol: Reboot Facial
Pre-Treatment Safety, Expectations & Aftercare.
Realistic Expectations
The Detox Process
This is a deep cleansing treatment.
The Purge: Because I am clearing out deep congestion (blackheads), it is possible to experience a small breakout a few days after treatment. This is the skin clearing itself out. It will clear quickly.
Ingrown Hairs: Regular treatments help prevent ingrown hairs, but releasing trapped hairs during the facial can sometimes leave a small red mark for 24 hours.
Immediate Side Effects
Redness: Steam and exfoliation increase blood flow. You will likely look healthy and pink immediately after.
Sensitivity: Your skin may feel slightly sensitive to the touch, especially if you shaved recently.
Adverse Reactions
Shaving Irritation: If you shave immediately after the facial, you risk severe irritation because the top layer of dead skin has already been removed. You must wait.
The Aftercare Rulebook
To maintain the result:
Do NOT shave for 24 hours after the treatment.
Do NOT apply aftershave or cologne to the face for 24 hours (it will sting).
Do NOT go to the gym or sauna for 24 hours (sweat can irritate the open pores).
SPF 50 IS MANDATORY. Even on cloudy days.
