Post-treatment care is essential in maintaining the treatment that you receive at Rytualist. Follow the instructions below to ensure that you get long-lasting, high quality results that will make you feel as good as you look.

Neurotoxin Injections (Botox)

  • Refrain from manipulating the treatment area for 3 hours post-treatment. DO NOT receive facial treatments, laser treatments or microdermabrasion after Botox injections for at least 10 days. Ask your provider if you are not sure about the time frame of a certain service.

  • We recommend that you over-emphasize movement in your treated areas for a few days after treatment. This movement is believed to help the neurotoxin find its way to the muscle that received the injections, providing optimal results.

  • DO NOT lie down for 4 hours after your neurotoxin treatment. This will prevent the neurotoxin from tracking into the orbit of your eye and causing drooping eyelids.

  • Results may take 4-7 days post-treatment to appear, with full results expected after 2 weeks.

  • If the desired result is not seen after 2 weeks of your treatment you may need additional neurotoxin injected in the target area. Please plan a follow up visit with us 2 weeks following the appointment to review results and determine if a touch-up is needed.

  • Refrain from performing activities that involve straining, heavy lifting or vigorous exercise for 6 hours after treatment. This will help mitigate migration.

  • Do not wear a tight fitting hat or helmet for 24hrs.

  • Try to avoid UV rays for the first 24hrs. As always, you should wear a good sunscreen daily and we can help make recommendations of our favorites!

  • It is best to wait until the following day to apply makeup and a good mineral based makeup is recommended.

  • Most importantly please contact us if you experience increased pain, redness or swelling, blisters or itching, following your treatment.

ProCell Microchanneling

  • You can expect a mild redness, light swelling, tiny red flecks, and a tight warm sensation (similar to a sunburn) for the first 12-72 hours post-treatment.

  • It is preferable you avoid makeup for the first day, following treatment, but if you must wear it please wait at least 2 hours after.

PCA Skin Peels

After receiving a PCA SKIN® professional treatment, you should not necessarily expect to ‘peel’. However, light flaking in a few localized areas for several days is typical. Most patients who undergo these treatments have residual redness for approximately one to twelve hours post-procedure.

  • As with all peels and treatments, it is recommended that makeup not be applied the day of treatment, as it is ideal to allow the skin to stabilize and rest overnight; however, makeup may be applied 15 minutes after the treatment if desired.

  • You will be sent home with PCA SKIN Post-Procedure Products with instructions to use three to five days or until flaking has resolved.

  • It is recommended that other topical, over-the-counter medications or alpha hydroxy acid products not be applied to the skin seven days post procedure, as they may cause irritation.

  • It is recommended to delay use of tretinoin, Retin-A®, Differin®, Renova®, Tazorac®, Avage® EpiDuo™ or Ziana® seven days post-procedure. Consult your physician before temporarily discontinuing use of any prescription medications.

  • Avoid direct sun exposure and excessive heat. Use Weightless Protection SPF 45, Perfecting Protection SPF 30, Protecting Hydrator SPF 30 or Hydrator Plus SPF 30 for broad-spectrum UV protection.

  • Do not go to a tanning bed for at least two weeks post-procedure. This practice should be discontinued due to the increased risk of skin cancer and signs of aging.

  • Do not pick or pull on any loosening or peeling skin. This could potentially cause hyperpigmentation.

  • Do not have electrolysis, facial waxing or use depilatories for approximately seven days.

  • Do not have another treatment until your clinician advises you to do so
