A Hydrafacial is a one of the most popular non-invasive procedures for skin rejuvenation that immediately results in a clean and smoother, hydrated skin. The shine seems to come on the spot, but the skin is even more sensitive for the first few days after treatment. One of the most common questions patients ask is: Can I be in the sun after a Hydrafacial?
The short answer is it’s best to avoid direct sun exposure for at least 72 hours. Just exfoliated skin is more prone to damage, irritation, and pigmentation by UV rays.
Why Does Your Skin Need Extra Protection?
The dead cells, excess oils and impurities are delicately exfoliated during a Hydrafacial, while moisturizing and antioxidant serums are introduced into the skin. This process leaves skin looking plumper but temporarily decreases the natural protective barrier of the skin.
Therefore, lots of sunlight after treatment can lead to:
- Redness and irritation of the skin.
- Hyperpigmentation.
- Uneven skin tone.
- Dryness and dehydration.
- Facial results will last for a shorter time.
What Happens If You Go Outside?
As long as you take precautions, it doesn’t have to be bad to go outside. There is no known problem with normal daily activity, but it is recommended that direct sunlight be avoided for longer periods. If you have to go outside:
- Use sun cream with a broad-spectrum SPF of at least 50.
- Wear a wide brimmed hat.
- Wear sunglasses for extra protection.
- If possible, stay in a shaded area.
- Stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
These simple habits will help the treatment continue to work effectively, while keeping your skin safe.
The First 72 Hours Is Most Important:
The first 3 days after a Hydrafacial are most crucial for your recovery. In this time, experts say to steer clear of:
- Direct sunlight.
- Tanning beds.
- Excessive heat.
- Steam rooms.
- Saunas.
- Excessive exercise and heavy sweating.
The Royal Cosmetic Surgery Clinic Islamabad Hydrafacial aftercare advice says that patients should also not wear makeup for a couple of days and use mild cleansers and moisturisers during this period of healing.
