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

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.

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.

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.

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.
