What to Do After Each Treatment
So, you’ve just finished your HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) session and you’re ready to enjoy firmer, tighter skin — but what you do after the treatment is just as important as the procedure itself.
Proper HIFU aftercare helps your skin recover faster, boosts collagen regeneration, and ensures long-lasting lifting results. Whether you’ve had your treatment at a clinic or at home with The Lux Skins® device, here’s everything you need to know about post-HIFU care.
Why HIFU Aftercare Matters
HIFU works deep under your skin to stimulate collagen and tighten connective tissue. Although it’s a non-invasive procedure, the energy it delivers can leave your skin slightly warm, red, or sensitive for a few hours.
🩵 Proper aftercare:
-
Protects your skin’s barrier
-
Enhances collagen production
-
Prevents dryness or irritation
-
Extends the longevity of your results
Your journey to youthful skin doesn’t end with HIFU — it continues with consistent care and hydration.
Immediate Aftercare (First 24 Hours)
1. Avoid Heat and Steam
Right after your session, your skin is already warm from ultrasound energy. Avoid hot showers, saunas, or direct sunlight for at least 24 hours.
2. Keep Skin Hydrated
Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to calm and nourish the skin barrier.
💧 For added recovery, try the RadiantGlo LED Face Mask — it soothes irritation and accelerates healing.
3. Skip Harsh Products
Avoid scrubs, exfoliants, and strong acids for a couple of days. Stick to mild cleansers and calming formulas.
4. Apply Sunscreen
Your skin may be slightly sensitive to UV rays. Always use SPF 30+ when going outdoors, even on cloudy days.
Short-Term Care (First Week)
During the first 7 days post-treatment, your skin starts the natural collagen-building process. Help it along with these simple steps:
-
Stay Moisturized: Keep applying hydrating serums or creams daily.
-
No Makeup for 24 Hours: Let your pores breathe to avoid clogging.
-
Drink Plenty of Water: Hydration supports skin elasticity and healing.
-
Gentle Massage: Light upward massages promote blood flow and firmness.
💡 Tip: Use the Lux Skins Neck Beauty Device (EMS + LED) a few days later for additional toning and to improve lymphatic drainage under the chin.
Long-Term Care (Weeks 2–8)
This is when your collagen production truly kicks in. To maintain and enhance your results:
-
Use LED Therapy: Continue alternating your HIFU routine with LED sessions using the RadiantGlo Mask for faster renewal.
-
Follow a 3–4 Week HIFU Cycle: Avoid over-treating. Allow collagen to rebuild naturally between sessions.
-
Incorporate Facial Massage: Devices like the Glass Skin Therapy Wand can help boost skin elasticity and glow.
-
Healthy Lifestyle: Balanced diet, good sleep, and regular hydration amplify your device’s results.
What to Avoid After HIFU
| ❌ Avoid | 🩵 Why |
|---|---|
| Direct sun exposure | May cause redness or slow healing |
| Hot tubs & saunas | Increase inflammation |
| Alcohol & smoking | Delay collagen regeneration |
| Aggressive exfoliation | Irritates freshly treated skin |
| Repeating treatment too soon | Overworks tissue, reduces benefits |
Remember — patience pays off. HIFU results develop gradually as collagen fibers strengthen over time.
When You’ll See Results
You may notice mild tightening right away, but the real transformation begins around week 4–6, with full results visible by week 12.
