Achieving the best skin of your life isn’t just about the right treatments—it’s also about how you prepare for them, take care of your skin afterward, and maintain the results. At ALXS SKN GYM, we offer cutting-edge skincare solutions, but the real secret to radiant, youthful skin comes from combining our expert treatments with proper preparation, aftercare, and a customized maintenance routine. Here’s how you can optimize your results every step of the way.
The key to maximizing your treatment results begins before you even step through our doors. Proper preparation can ensure that your skin is in the best possible condition to respond to the treatment.
Avoid rigorous exercise: A hard workout increases skin sensitivity, making it harder for your skin to handle the treatment. Save your high-intensity workouts for another day.
Wear sunscreen: Consistent sun protection is vital before your appointment. Sunscreen helps prevent inflammation, ensuring that your skin remains calm and less reactive during your treatment.
Limit alcohol: Alcohol can dilate blood vessels, which can lead to more sensitive skin. Avoid drinking on the day of your appointment to prevent irritation and enhance treatment results.
Pause active ingredients: To prevent extra redness or sensitivity, it's best to stop using potent skincare products like
retinol,
benzoyl peroxide, or
salicylic acid 72 hours before your treatment. If you forget, don’t worry—it won’t harm your skin, but it might cause some extra redness post-treatment.
Once your treatment is complete, the healing phase is just as crucial as preparation. Proper aftercare ensures your skin heals well and absorbs the benefits of your treatment fully.
Avoid intense exercise: For 72 hours after your treatment, refrain from high-intensity workouts. Sweating and overheating can interfere with the healing process, causing irritation or even breakouts.
Gentle care: In the first few days after your appointment, avoid anything that could irritate your skin. Stick to
gentle cleansers and avoid anything too abrasive. Remember,
healing time is crucial—most people see peak results between 7 to 14 days after treatment.
Hydration: Keep your skin hydrated to promote healing and maintain its healthy appearance. Moisturizing regularly will help soothe your skin and lock in the benefits of your treatment.
At ALXS SKN GYM, we recommend establishing a maintenance program to keep your skin looking its best year-round. Just like fitness or health, consistency is key when it comes to skin care. Here’s how to keep your results glowing:
Follow-up treatments: Depending on your treatment, a
monthly or bi-monthly routine may be ideal to maintain healthy, youthful skin. The more frequently you engage with your skin in a professional setting, the more we can continuously
communicate with your skin and keep it at its best.
Home care routine: A proper skincare routine is essential for preserving the effects of your treatments. Over-the-counter products often lack the potency needed to make a lasting change. Our team will provide you with a
professional home care regimen designed to maintain your results, prevent stress on your skin, and combat signs of aging and pigmentation.
Stay ahead of skin issues: Regular treatments allow us to catch and address skin concerns early, preventing deeper issues from developing. Whether it’s preventing wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, or acne, our
maintenance programs ensure you stay ahead of any potential skin challenges.
At ALXS SKN GYM, we’re committed to helping you achieve glowing, youthful skin that lasts. Whether it’s preparing properly, following through with aftercare, or maintaining results with professional treatments, we’ve got you covered. Take the guesswork out of skincare and schedule a consultation today to start optimizing your skin’s health and beauty.
