At Ashburn Laser & Skincare MedSpa, we’re all about helping you achieve your healthiest, most radiant skin – and that journey doesn’t end when your treatment does. One of the most important things you can do after a professional skin treatment? Wear SPF daily.
Why Is SPF So Important Post-Treatment?
After treatments like IPL, ResurFX, microneedling, chemical peels, or Hydrafacials, your skin becomes more sensitive to sunlight. That’s because these treatments work by stimulating cell turnover, boosting collagen, or resurfacing your skin – all of which can temporarily thin or expose the top layers of skin.
Without proper protection, your fresh skin is more vulnerable to:
- Sunburn
- Hyperpigmentation
- Premature aging
- Inflammation and irritation
- Reversal of your treatment results
Protect Your Investment
Skincare treatments are an investment in your skin’s health. Neglecting SPF afterward can actually undo the benefits of the service you just received. That’s why we always recommend applying a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher immediately after treatment and continuing use every single day.
Bonus tip: Reapply every 2 hours, especially if you’re outdoors or near windows, and don’t forget the neck, chest, and hands!
