What Can I Expect After Treatment?

Immediately after treatment, your skin may appear pinkish and feel more tender than usual. This should fade within a few hours. There is a risk of bruising, but this is rare when an experienced practitioner performs the treatment. Over the next couple of days, you may experience a sensation similar to mild sunburn. There is no downtime, but you will need to take extra care you’re your skin for a few days after a treatment.

La Fontaine Aftercare Tips

La Fontaine stimulates cell renewal by buffing away the tired and dull-looking surface layers of skin. The following La Fontaine aftercare tips help protect your skin and speed up the healing process for smoother, younger-looking skin.

Use Sunscreen

It’s important to protect your skin from the sun’s powerful UV rays. During the first few days
following treatment, your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight. You should try to avoid direct
sun exposure if possible and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Avoid Products That Could Cause Irritation

You should avoid exfoliating products and products containing harsh ingredients that could irritate your skin for at least 72 hours following treatment with La Fontaine. It’s also important to avoid touching, rubbing or picking your skin during this time.

Keep Your Skin Hydrated

After a La Fontaine treatment, your new skin will feel softer and smoother than ever. It will also be more receptive to moisturisers. You can keep your skin feeling smooth and aid the healing process by using Bloomea Hydra-Active Serum and Bloomea Anti-aging Hydrating Face Cream as needed throughout the day.

Avoid Strenuous Exercise

A good workout can lift your mood and give your skin a healthy glow, but you should avoid pushing yourself for 24-48 hours following La Fontaine treatment. Your skin will be more sensitive post-treatment, and sweating could lead to irritation. For the same reason, you should also avoid saunas and hot baths for a few days until your skin has fully healed.

Don’t Use Blood-Thinning Medications

Aspirin and ibuprofen both have a blood-thinning effect that can slow down the healing process. You should avoid these medications and others that thin the blood for 48 hours post-treatment. It’s also advisable to avoid alcohol consumption for 24 hours until your skin has fully recovered.

FAQs

How Frequently Can You Have Treatment with La Fontaine?

The frequency of treatments depends on the goals you want to achieve and how quickly your
skin recovers after each session. You need to give your skin time to heal between sessions to achieve optimal results.

For most people, sessions should be spaced around one week apart. Your clinician will assess your skin type and recommend a personalised treatment plan during your consultation.

Does La Fontaine Treatment Get Rid of Blackheads?

A single treatment can provide deep cleansing of your pores. With each session, your skin will become clearer and brighter. The treatment also stimulates cell renewal and encourages the skin to detox, which helps to reduce the risk of new blackheads forming.

Can You Wear Makeup after La Fontaine Treatment?

You can apply makeup following a La Fontaine session. However, it’s best to use high-quality
mineral makeup rather than oil-based makeup as this allows the skin to breathe. Your clinician may suggest that you allow your skin time to heal and wait until the following day
before applying makeup.
