Aftercare Advice for Aesthetic Treatments
To ensure optimal results and minimize side effects, please follow the aftercare instructions below carefully:
1. General Care:
- Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for at least 24 hours.
- Keep the area clean and avoid applying makeup for 24 hours unless advised otherwise.
- Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy skincare routine.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot tubs for 24–48 hours.
2. Sun Protection:
- Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 1 week.
- Use a high-SPF sunscreen daily, even on cloudy days.
3. Swelling and Bruising:
- Mild swelling, redness, or bruising is normal and should subside within a few days.
- Apply a cold compress intermittently for the first 24 hours to reduce swelling.
- Avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications (e.g., ibuprofen) unless approved, as they can increase bruising.

- Results may take several days to become visible—full effects usually appear within 2 weeks.

- Expect mild redness or peeling for a few days.
- Avoid active skincare ingredients like retinol or exfoliants for 3–5 days.
