How long should you go without showering after an Infini RF treatment?

Question

I read that for Fraxel, you should not shower for 48 hours after the procedure. How long should you go without showering after an Infini treatment?

Tina B. West, MD · Answer

I do not ask my patients to avoid showering or bathing post treatment, but exposure to warm or hot water can make any redness or swelling more notable.  I advise gentle cleansing of the treated area twice daily with a mild cleanser, as well as applying a post-procedure cream to aid healing and avoid dryness. In our office, we also offer LED light and oxygen treatments to speed healing after Infini treatment.

Robert M. Wald, Jr., MD · Answer

24 hours is safe. After this time, all the pores are sealed enough for showering. We also use oxgenetics makeup several hours after the treatment.

Alan B. Brackup, MD, FACS · Answer

We usually recommend patients wait to shower after 24 hours. The micro-needling openings will be closed and therefore describe the chance of bacteria getting in. They can wash their face with a non-harsh wash and pat dry. Hope this helps.

Kent V. Hasen, MD · Answer

We recommend our patients wait until the next morning to shower after an Infini procedure.  This allows ample time for the microchannels to close.  Consult with your provider for their specific post procedure recommendations.

Steven Swengel, MD · Answer

Next day would be fine.  All microchannels will have closed by then.  Certainly rinse more than lather.  We encourage our patients after Infini to use an Epionce post laser kit that contains a Milky Lotion Cleanser, Medical Barrier Cream and post laser sunscreen for the first week.
