PRX Derm Perfection Post-Care Instructions
To ensure optimal results and minimize any potential irritation after your PRX Derm Perfection treatment, follow these post-care guidelines:
First 24-48 Hours:
✅ Do:
Avoid touching or rubbing your face.
Keep the treated area clean and dry.
Use a gentle, hydrating cleanser and lukewarm water.
Apply a recommended post-procedure moisturizer (as instructed by your provider).
Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50) daily to protect your skin.
🚫 Avoid:
Excessive sweating (exercise, saunas, or hot showers).
Direct sun exposure or tanning beds.
Harsh skincare products (exfoliants, retinoids, acids, or scrubs).
Makeup for at least 12 hours post-treatment.
Days 3-7:
Continue using a gentle cleanser and moisturizer.
Stay hydrated to support skin healing.
Mild peeling or dryness may occur—do not pick or peel the skin.
Avoid active skincare ingredients unless approved by your provider.
After One Week:
You can gradually reintroduce your regular skincare routine.
Continue using SPF daily to maintain results and protect your skin.
If you experience excessive redness, irritation, or concerns, contact your provider.
Exfoliate and moisturize
24 hours before you apply your self tan, paying particular attention to elbows, knees, ankles and problem areas.
Avoid using
high pH shower products, or in shower moisturizers for the entire 24 hours before your treatment.
Wax or shave at least 48 hours prior to treatment.
This allows the pores time to close. Dotting in pores may appear if not adhered to.
Don’t apply moisturiser, perfume, deodorant or makeup on the day of application.
These products may act as a barrier against your skin and can prevent the DHA tanning actives from developing evenly.
Wear dark loose clothing.
Tight clothing or underwear may cause marks. Wear shoes that slide on or are loose fitting.
Shower lightly in cold - lukewarm water
for 45 seconds after the first hour for a light to medium tan. The longer the tan is left on, the darker the tan (no longer than 8 hours).
Shower in plain water
don’t use shower gels, scrubs, shampoos or a loofah during the first 24 hours after your treatment.
Pat dry and use aftercare products
including moisturizers and gradual tanners after your first shower to extend the life of your tan. Moisturizing daily ensures long lasting results that fade evenly.
Avoid sweating
and don’t exercise or swim for the first 24 hours after your spray tan treatment.
Try not to touch your skin during development time.
Any marks on your hands, therefore, are due to your hands touching the developing tan which can cause discolored, darker hands compared to the rest of the body which can be difficult to remove.
Long exposure to water and sweating
from exercise will fade your spray tan. Your outer cells will start to soak up water which dilutes the effect of the tan. The longer you are in water the lighter your tan will get.
