Pre Treatment Advice
It is recommended that you take the following into consideration:
• For best results and to reduce the risk of complications, it is recommended that you use AlumierMD home care products for 10 to 14 days prior to any AlumierMD treatment.
• Were possible, it is best to arrive to your appointment makeup free.
• If you are lactating, pregnant, or may be pregnant, consult your doctor before receiving any treatment
• Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks prior to treatment
• Avoid the use of retinoid products (eg. retinol, Retin-A®, Tazorac®) and high levels of AHA and BHA products for approximately 7 days prior to the treatment. Consult your doctor before temporarily discontinuing the use of any prescription medications
• If you have had Botox/Filler you need to allow two weeks in order for it to settle before having a skin treatment.
Alumier MD skin treatments result in minimal to no downtime but create dramatic and visible results.

Aftercare Advice:
- It is recommended not to apply make up for up to 24 hours after the treatment to allow the skin to fully absorb the products used in your treatment, it also allows time for the skin to ‘breathe’ so as not to clog the pores.
- Don’t forget to wash your makeup brushes, clean your phone & change your pillow case, to ensure bacteria doesn’t transfer on to your freshly exfoliated skin!
- Do not pick, pull or touch your face post treatment to allow your skin to settle.
- Always cleanse, tone and moisturise your face; to prevent loss of moisture, protect the skin from make-up and to keep the skin soft and supple.
- Always remove all traces of make-up at the end of the day.
- Drink plenty of water (recommended 6-8 glasses per day).
- Do not undertake any other facial skincare treatments within 48 hours of facial.
- Its not advised to exfoliate for a week before or after microdermabrasion, micro-needling or dermaplaning.
- Apply SPF30+ every day to avoid pigmentation or sun damage.
- Try to avoid the sun ☀️ immediately after your treatment as the top layer of dead skin cells will have been removed in your treatment therefore making your skin particularly sensitive to sunlight.
- Avoid direct heat (intense sunlight & sunbeds) and indirect heat (sauna, intense hot baths/showers) for up to two weeks.
- Do not apply perfume or perfumed products to the treated area within 48 hours.
