Arabian Queen Treatment
Overview
How your skin reacts afterwards
These are normal and settle on their own. Anything severe or long-lasting — call us.
Immediate Skin Response (0–48 hours)
The treated area often appears reddish or pink, similar to a mild sunburn, with warmth and tightness
Mild swelling may occur and usually subsides within 24–48 hours. The skin feels tender but not painful
A tingling or itching sensation is common as the skin begins to regenerate
Short-Term Healing Phase (Days 3–10)
Peeling typically starts within 24-48 hours and can last up to a week, revealing fresh new skin beneath
The skin may feel dry; applying dermatologist-recommended moisturizers helps ease discomfort
Some may experience post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark or light spots), usually fading within 4–8 weeks
Regeneration and Results (Weeks 2–6)
Skin texture becomes smoother and more refined as pigment fades and collagen production increases
Dark spots and pigmentation reduce significantly, leading to an even, brighter complexion
Most sensitivity subsides by the second week, with deeper peels requiring up to four weeks for complete healing
How Arabian Queen Treatment Works
The treatment begins with thorough cleansing of the treatment area to remove sweat, deodorant residue, or impurities that may interfere with treatment
Skin Resurfacing Actives: a controlled exfoliant depending on skin type is applied to break down superficial discolored layers of skin
A cooling gel is applied to calm the skin
The practitioner appliesrelief ointment / sunscreen immediately after the session to protect the skin barrier.
Pre Care
- Avoid: Avoid exfoliants and harsh products (retinoids, acids) for at least 3-5 days before to reduce skin sensitivity
- Do: Do not wax or use hair removal methods other than shaving for 1–2 weeks prior; shave 1-2 days before treatment
- Avoid: Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 1-2 weeks to prevent pigmentation issues
- Stop: Stop deodorants with fragrances or alcohol 48 hours before to avoid irritation
- Inform: Inform your practitioner about medications, allergies, and skin conditions to tailor the treatment safely
After Care
- Keep: Keep the treated area clean and dry; avoid applying deodorants, perfumes, or skincare products for 7-10 days
- Avoid: Avoid touching, scratching, picking, or peeling the healing skin to prevent irritation, pigment loss, or infection
- Stay: Stay away from sun exposure, excessive sweating, swimming, hot baths, and saunas for at least 10 days during healing
- Use: Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer daily to soothe and hydrate the skin as it heals
- Apply: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily once the skin is healed enough to be slightly exposed, to protect from UV-induced pigmentation
Results, who it suits, and who it is not for
- 1 session is only required for deep pigmentation
- Visible brightening and smoothing results generally appear after 3-6 sessions
- Full results may take up to 4-6 weeks post-treatment as skin regenerates and pigmentaion reduces
