Makeup techniques after a procedure — Part 1

This is the first of 2 videos about applying makeup after a fractionated laser treatment.

The fractionated laser we use is the Pixel but you would have the same thing with the Fraxel or Sciton ProFractional. Your skin is reddened and roughened for a few days after the treatment. The roughness gradually flakes off.

The reason we do a fractionated laser treatment is to improve the texture of the skin so it looks smoother, tighter and more refined. The laser works by stimulating collagen formation which tightens the skin, and stimulating new skin cell formation which makes the skin look fresh and radiant.

In this video, the makeup specialist at Advanced Rejuvenation, Claire, demonstrates on Catherine how you can completely hide the redness and roughness with a light application of concealer and foundation. In Part 2, Claire will apply color to the cheeks and eyes to finish up Catherine’s look.
