4 things to expect after Bela MD facial treatment

When searching for “facial treatment near me in Cypress, Texas,” you are in luck because Bela MD at AVIVA Dermatology delivers transformative results without the downtime associated with older, more aggressive, and conventional treatments. Here are four things to expect after this advanced, multi-faceted skin rejuvenation treatment at our Houston office. 

1 – Get back to your “normal” activities right away – really!

Bela MD facial is gentle at every step in the treatment process. In fact, many of our patients notice an immediate, healthy, and renewed glow right afterward. Other common effects post-treatment include mild tightness or tingling – similar to a minor sunburn. These effects are very tolerable and easily manageable. 

2 – Your changing skin – the first one to three days

Many cosmetic treatments can make your skin more sensitive to UV light from the sun’s rays. While common and normal, it makes sunscreen and sun protection measures all the more important. Avoid direct sunlight whenever possible and apply and reapply a good, broad-spectrum sunscreen, no matter how cloudy or overcast the day may be. As treatment promotes beneficial changes at the surface and cellular level, some “purging” may occur. This happens because extractions bring impurities to the surface. Breakouts typically resolve fast. Depending on the type of serum that is used/customized to your needs, there may be some minor flaking or peeling. This effect, too, can be easily managed and goes away fast.

3 – Your changing routine – be kind to your skin!

To prevent irritation, infections, and other complications and to maximize results, it is important to stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleansers and moisturizers that are designed to repair your skin’s natural barrier. Powerful and harsh skincare formulas (like those products containing retinol) should be avoided during the skin renewal process and when your skin is more sensitive. You should also refrain from the following activities, because they can increase your risk of irritation, inflammation, infection, and other adverse reactions: 

• Saunas 
• Hot tubs
• Steam rooms
• Intense exercise

These activities cause your body to warm up and perspire. Sweating can block the pores, leading to breakouts. High-humidity environments also harbor bacteria, which can increase your risk of infection. Exposure to excessive heat and chlorine may even compromise your results and damage newly exposed skin cells. We can advise on when to safely incorporate the activities and products mentioned above back into your day-to-day routine. 

4 – Maintenance for the long-term health and beauty of your skin 

While Bela MD supports some immediate improvements – such as an instant “glow” – it is generally recommended that you have three to five treatment sessions initially. Two sessions may be scheduled each month. More stubborn conditions, such as scars, often require additional treatments to achieve the desired results. Once those results are achieved, only a single treatment per month is needed to keep your skin looking and feeling healthy and refreshed.

Healthy skin is also a partnership between you and AVIVA Dermatology. Our professionals advise on skincare products and techniques that are tailored to your skin type and needs. These recommendations help you get the most out of facial services and other treatments at our Katy-area office in Houston, TX. They also help prevent further skin damage, which may require additional treatment. Call (713) 468-0303 to schedule your consultation and start the process today!
