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?

Every Specialist will have their own regime, I am only sharing you my way of doing things-1. Steroid applied once off by our staff, mixed with antibacterial ointment2. Wash face twice a day with cetaphil. Stay out of sun for 2 weeks.3. Moisturise with bland moisturiser 2-3 times a day till the grids go.. usually by day 3-5All the BestDr Davin Lim 

I tell people to wash their faces with a sensitive skin cleanser and not exfoliate or rub the skin harshly, after eMatrix. I have no idea why an office would tell you not to wash your face after this procedure. But you do need to be gentle. If you want to know why they recommended this for you, I would recommend you call and ask! Because I've done the treatment for over 5 years and have no idea why they'd tell you this. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion.
