After Care
You made an incredible decision to step into growing your confidence, feeling refreshed and beautiful. Now it’s time to protect the investment you’ve made by following a few simple steps after every treatment.
These are some of our best tips on how to look after your skin so you stay looking fresh and relaxed.
-
Be patient and allow enough time for the results to settle in. Like fine wine, good things take time.
-
Don’t exercise for 24-48 hours post your treatment, we hope this is the excuse you need to binge something great.
-
Don’t drink alcohol for 24 hours as this can increase the risk of bruising, trust us it will be worth it.
-
Avoid exposing your skin to heat, such as direct sun and saunas during the initial period when there may be swelling and redness.
-
Don’t touch or massage your face for at least 12 hours after a treatment, unless advised otherwise by your nurse.
-
Dermal filler: Apply a cool compress for 10 minutes every hour on the day of treatment, do not apply ice directly on your skin. A cool compress applied regularly for the first 24 hours after injections may help to reduce the amount of swelling and bruising
-
Do not use AHA, retinols, vitamin C therapy or oil based make-up for at least 24 hours
-
Avoid facials, facial waxing, Glycolic or AHA peels, IPL or energy based treatments and microdermabrasion for two weeks after treatment.
Please check with your physician before undergoing other facial treatments within this time
