After gyratory vibratory treatment, which of the following is recommended as aftercare?

• A. Stop all skincare products.
• B. Avoid drinking water to prevent swelling.
• C. Do nothing and wait.
• D. Manual massage may be applied to soothe the skin following treatment.

Answer: (D)

After gyratory vibratory treatment, the skin is more reactive and often flushed or slightly swollen due to increased circulation. Gentle manual massage is the best aftercare because it soothes the skin, helps distribute any post-treatment products evenly, and supports gentle lymphatic drainage to reduce any temporary puffiness or redness. It also allows the therapist to monitor tolerance and adjust technique as needed. The other options aren’t appropriate because stopping all skincare can dry and irritate the skin further, avoiding water isn’t helpful or realistic for maintaining hydration, and doing nothing misses the opportunity to calm and support the skin’s recovery.
