After a Jet Plasma facial, proper aftercare is essential to ensure the best results and minimize any potential side effects. Here’s a comprehensive guide
Immediate Aftercare (First 24-48 Hours)
- Avoid Touching Your Face: Refrain from touching or rubbing the treated area to prevent irritation or infection.
- No Makeup: Avoid applying makeup for at least 24 hours to allow your skin to breathe and heal.
- Moisturize: Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated. This will help soothe any dryness or tightness.
- Sun Protection: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Avoid direct sun exposure as much as possible, and wear a wide-brimmed hat if going outside.
- No Exfoliation: Avoid using exfoliating products, including scrubs, acids, or retinoids, for at least a week.
- Avoid Heat: Stay away from saunas, hot tubs, or intense physical activity that may cause sweating for 48 hours.
- No Alcohol or Smoking: These can slow down the healing process and should be avoided.
Ongoing Care (Up to 2 Weeks)
- Continue Gentle Skin Care: Use a mild cleanser and continue to moisturize your skin regularly.
- Avoid Harsh Products: Steer clear of products with strong active ingredients like AHAs, BHAs, retinoids, or any harsh chemicals until your skin has fully healed.
- Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to support skin recovery.
- Monitor Your Skin: Keep an eye out for any signs of infection, such as excessive redness, swelling, or pus. If any of these occur, contact your provider.
- Follow-Up Treatments: If your treatment plan includes multiple sessions, follow the schedule recommended by your provider for the best results.

- Be Patient: Results from Jet Plasma facials can take time to fully appear, so be patient and allow your skin to heal and rejuvenate.
