Facial Vein Removal Post-Care for Vascular 300

Scabbing of the treatment area is common. Therefore, aftercare for Facial Veins with Vascular 300 is similar to aftercare for wounds. Most importantly, be vigilant about keeping the treatment area clean and protected, in order to aid in the healing process and avoid infection. Specifically, follow this advice:

• Showering and cleansing the skin are allowed. A gentle cleanser may be used on the treatment area. Refrain from vigorous rubbing of the skin. Apply product  to the fingertips with tepid water and use gentle, circular motions on the skin. Gently pat the treatment area dry.
• Refrain from makeup on or around the treatment area for 24 hours. Mineral makeup is preferable.
• Continue with your regular skincare regime; however, discontinue use of Retin-a (tretinoin), Renova, Differin, Tazorac, Ziana, Veltin, Atralin or any exfoliating agents with harsh abrasives or acids until skin has healed.
• Refrain from touching the face unnecessarily.
• Avoid picking at or scrubbing the skin, which can lead to scarring.
• Allow scabs to fall off naturally.
• Until skin has healed, moisturize liberally with Cicalfate cream.
• Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
• Avoid saunas, hot tubs or extreme temperatures for 24 hours.
• Refrain from tanning or prolonged sun exposure for 2-3 weeks after the procedure. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or greater for 2-3 week to avoid incidental sun exposure.
• Refrain from laser treatments, Botox or other injectables, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, waxing and depilatories for 3-4 weeks.
• Avoid blood thinners, including Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Fish Oil, Vitamin E and for 3-4 days.

• Comfort measures:
  • Acetaminophen or Aleve are appropriate for swelling or discomfort. 
  • Antihistamines, like Benadryl and Zyrtec, may be used for minor itching.
  • Arnica Gel may be used for bruising.
  • If extreme any swelling or unforeseen symptoms occurs, please contact Smooth Synergy®.
