How Long After Receiving Deep FX Can I Begin Using Makeup?

Question

I've Had Combo FX 5 Days Ago. After 7 Days if the Crust is Off, Am I Healed? Can I then Begin Using Makeup?

Mitchel Goldman, MD · Answer

For most patients, they will be able to wear makeup about 7-10 days after the treatment, depending on how the face is healing from the procedure. I would ask your doctor during your follow up appointments to make sure that it is OK to start applying makeup. Your skin takes a full 28 days to completely heal so it is best to be gentle.

Thank you for your question. Usually 10-14 days when you only have redness, or pink skin is a good time to start applying a mineral makeup, no foundations. I hope this helps.

Ivan Wayne, MD · Answer

If you only had a DeepFX treatment then you should be fine to wear makeup when the crusts have fallen off-usually 5-7 days. We advise patients to use powder based makeup products and not rub their skin for several weeks after the laser treatment. Hope this helps.

Deep FX treatments, the down time is usually seven days. We do have a similar type of laser in our office, usually are patients are able to put a foundation and more makeup around seven days after the procedure.

Susan Van Dyke, MD · Answer

I see my Active Fx, Deep Fx patients at day 2, day 5 and day 8.  On day 8 we do a hydrating treatment that revitalizes the healing skin. 90% of patients are given the go ahead to wear make up at that time.  I always see my patients because in 10% of people it may be prudent to wait another day or two before returning to makeup.
