I just had my first Ematrix procedure yesterday. I was told to NOT WASH my face or even get it WET for 2 days. Is that normal?

There are many different variations for post treatment care. In our office, we advise patients to begin Vitamin C, and afterwards to apply Domeboro and healing creams to expedite recovery. Raffy Karamanoukian MD FACS

Wash your face with a mild and gentle cleanser daily after the eMatrix procedure. A steroid cream is also applied starting day 1 and ending on day 3 along with a bacteriostatic ointment. Following this, revert to an inert moisturizing ointment or cream to be applied daily. Best regards and bona fortuna. 

After having your Ematrix treatment it is important to keep skin clean. Although there are no open lesions, there was trauma to the surface of the skin and it is best to gently cleanse and moisturize regularly. You will want the skin to heal from the laser in the most healthy and safe way possible to ensure best results.
