Skin care after treatment: a quick guide for each group

Each treatment group needs a different level of care. Find the treatment you just had, see which group it belongs to, then follow the timeline below.

Contents
  1. Quick lookup
  2. Facials & non-invasive technology
  3. Extractions
  4. Peels, microneedling & micro-point RF
  5. Three basics after every treatment
  6. When should you contact Claire?

This is general guidance. Your doctor or specialist will adjust it to your skin if needed, and the personal advice you receive after your session always comes first.

Facials & non-invasive technology

Almost nothing to avoid

These are cleansing, hydrating, recovery and non-invasive lifting treatments. Skin usually looks only slightly pink and settles quickly, so you can carry on as normal right after your session.

Applies toSkin GymSkin RecoveryHydra FacialHydra Facial LiftBioLiftGlam UpRed CarpetSkin TighteningItalian LiftSkin JetInfusion BoostersClaire Wellness Rituals

  1. After 4–6 hoursYou can wash gently with lukewarm water or a mild cleanser; avoid rubbing.
  2. First 24 hoursKeep makeup light and skip saunas and steam. After Skin Jet, only cleanse gently and hydrate; hold off on strong treatment products.
  3. First 48 hoursPause exfoliants, AHA, BHA and retinol.
  4. Every dayMoisturise morning and night, wear SPF 50 or higher and drink 1.5–2 litres of water.

Do

  • Moisturise with an HA serum or a barrier repair cream
  • Apply sunscreen every morning, even indoors
  • Keep to the treatment rhythm your specialist recommends

Avoid

  • Saunas, steam or heavy makeup in the first 24 hours
  • Exfoliants, AHA, BHA or retinol for 48 hours

Extractions

Keep skin clean and leave it be

After extractions, freshly cleared pores need time to calm down. Skin may look a little red for 24–48 hours depending on your acne.

Applies toSkin Clear

  1. First 6 hoursNo makeup and no face washing yet.
  2. First 24 hoursDon't touch, squeeze or press the treated area. Avoid spicy food, sleep early and drink enough water. Wait a full 24 hours before wearing makeup.
  3. The following daysA soothing mineral mist, a recovery serum (PDRN or B5) and a recovery moisturiser, 2–3 times a day.
  4. Every daySPF 50 or higher, reapplied every 3–4 hours when you are out.

Do

  • Keep your hands, phone and pillowcase clean
  • Come back every 1–2 weeks to keep acne under control

Avoid

  • Squeezing or picking spots at home
  • Wearing makeup in the first 24 hours

Peels, microneedling & micro-point RF

Extra care in the first days

Peels, microneedling and micro-point RF treatments share very similar aftercare. Skin needs to stay moisturised, strictly protected from the sun and left alone until it recovers. Light flaking in the first few days is the skin's natural renewal.

Applies toSkin PeelBio PeelAcne PeelPeel & GlowBio CellSkin FirmDerma CITFocus360

  1. First 4–6 hoursDon't wash yet. After that, rinse gently with cool water or saline. For Derma CIT, wait a full 6 hours.
  2. First 24 hoursDon't touch, squeeze or rub the treated area. Avoid saunas, swimming and exercise that makes you sweat heavily (after Focus360: 48 hours).
  3. 48–72 hoursNo exfoliants, AHA, BHA, retinol, high-strength vitamin C or other strong treatment products.
  4. Khi da bongLet it shed on its own. Don't peel or scrub it off.
  5. Every dayRecovery moisturising 2–4 times a day (HA, B5, barrier repair cream), broad-spectrum SPF 50 or higher and good cover when you are outside.

Do

  • Moisturise several times a day, especially when skin feels tight
  • Reapply sunscreen every 3–4 hours outdoors
  • Drink 1.5–2 litres of water a day

Avoid

  • Peeling off flaking skin
  • Saunas, swimming or hard workouts for 24–48 hours
  • Strong actives for 48–72 hours

Three basics after every treatment

  • SPF 50 or higher every day. Skin is more sensitive to UV than usual after a treatment.
  • Moisturise morning and night to keep the skin barrier healthy.
  • Drink 1.5–2 litres of water a day and get enough sleep.

When should you contact Claire?

Slight redness after a treatment is normal and usually fades within a few hours. After a peel or microneedling, skin may stay pink and flake lightly a little longer. Message us on Zalo or call your branch hotline if you notice:

  • Redness, burning or swelling that gets worse or lasts more than 48 hours
  • Blisters, oozing or significant pain
  • Itching or a rash spreading beyond the treated area

Your specialist will ask about your skin and arrange a check-up visit if needed.

If you'd like to know what your skin needs, book a Da Ký™ session at Claire Wellness. Phú Mỹ Hưng (District 7) hotline: 0812 345 785 · Tân Sơn Nhất (Tân Bình): 0812 345 791.
