PhiIon After Care

The aftercare process following a PhiIon treatment is crucial for supporting healing, avoiding complications, and achieving optimal results. Since the PhiIon treatment leaves tiny “wounds” in the skin, it is important to care for the treated skin properly. Here is a detailed guide on what to expect after the PhiIon treatment and how to promote healing.

1. Immediately After the Treatment

After the treatment, small brown or black crusts often appear on the treated areas. These crusts are part of the natural healing process and should not be touched or scraped off to minimize the risk of scarring and infections.

Crusting: Small dots or crusts appear immediately on the skin. They will fall off after about 5–10 days.

Redness and Swelling: Mild redness and swelling may persist in the treated area for a few days.

2. The First Days After the Treatment

In the first days after the PhiIon treatment, it is crucial to keep the treated skin clean and protected to avoid infections and promote healing.

Avoid Water: Keep the treated area as dry as possible. Avoid direct moisture and showers that could soften the crusts.

Use Care Creams: Use the recommended care products or healing creams to soothe the skin and support the healing process.

Do Not Scratch: Do not scratch or rub the crusts, as this increases the risk of scarring and pigment loss.

3. Crusting and Healing

Crusting: The crusts will dry out slowly and fall off on their own. This process typically takes 5–10 days.

No Makeup: Avoid applying makeup to the treated area until the crusts have completely fallen off to prevent skin irritation.

4. Sun Protection

After the PhiIon treatment, the skin is particularly sensitive to UV rays. Sun exposure can lead to hyperpigmentation and other skin damage.

Avoid Direct Sun: Protect the treated skin from direct sunlight for at least 4–6 weeks after the treatment.

Use Sunscreen: Once the crusts have fallen off, apply a high SPF sunscreen (SPF 50) daily to protect the skin from UV rays and minimize the risk of pigmentation issues.

5. Monitor the Healing Process

Redness and Swelling: These symptoms should subside within a few days. If you experience unusual reactions such as persistent swelling, extreme redness, or signs of infection (e.g., pus formation), contact your practitioner immediately.

Avoid Intense Activity: Avoid sweating or activities that may irritate the treated area during healing.

6. Aftercare Products

Use Only Recommended Products: Your practitioner will recommend specific creams and products that support healing and minimize the risk of complications. Avoid aggressive skincare products or exfoliants during the healing phase.

7. Long-Term Results

Touch-Up: Depending on the condition of the skin and desired results, a touch-up session may be necessary in a few months. The results of the PhiIon treatment can last long-term, but this depends on your lifestyle, skin, and care.
