FaceTite/ Accutite
- After the procedure, the treatment area(s) will be dressed and/or covered with a pressure garment. These should be removed after 48 hours, as per the Physician’s instructions. Wear the garment in the evening and while sleeping for at least two weeks or until the swelling subsides. Ideally, wear it for 12 hours a day for the first two weeks.
- Wound care: After removing the pressure garment, let soapy water gently wash over the incision site (do not scrub). Apply antibiotic ointment (Bacitracin) to the incision points twice daily for one week while the skin heals. Tiny scabs may appear during this process, but please don’t pick at them.
- After 48 hours, cleanse the treatment areas gently with mild soap like Fresh Start Gentle Cleanser and water. Avoid using facial products that contain Retinol or acids (Salicylic or Glycolic) for three weeks after the procedure. Refrain from rubbing or irritating the area.
- Although these effects are rare and temporary, redness and swelling may persist for up to three weeks and are a normal part of the reaction. Bruises may also occur in some individuals and last for 1 to 2 weeks. Some patients report a burning sensation, tingling, or tightening in the treatment area for up to three months.
- Limit physical activity and exposure to excessive heat (including fires or fireplaces) and UV light for two weeks.
- For facial and neck procedures, sleep on several pillows or in a recliner to elevate your head for at least two to three days to minimize swelling. Avoid talking and chewing for 48 hours. We recommend following a soft diet for the first 48 hours.
- Makeup can be applied as soon as 72 hours after the procedure to cover any redness or bruising. However, avoid the incision points that are still healing.
- If the treatment was performed on the face or neck, facial shaving should only be done with an electric razor for the first week.
- Burns and changes in pigmentation are rare but may occur. If you notice small white bumps, they may take a few weeks to resolve.
- Only take prescribed pain medication or Tylenol for pain relief (not both) after your procedure, unless your doctor instructs otherwise. Other pain relievers like Aspirin or NSAIDs (such as Advil, Motrin, Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Aleve, etc.) can thin the blood and cause bleeding or bruising. However, if your primary care doctor has prescribed you daily Aspirin, NSAID, or another blood thinner, you can take those as well.
- Additionally, avoid drinking alcohol for several days as recommended by your doctor after the procedure. Alcohol can hinder healing and lead to blood thinning, resulting in bleeding, crusting, bruising, or other complications.
- Remember that while the skin may appear healed initially, it takes 3-6 months to notice any changes in skin tightening, and twelve months to fully appreciate the results.
