AFTERCARE — MASSAGE TREATMENTS
(Full Body / Swedish / Relaxing / Back Neck & Shoulder)
✨ GENERAL MASSAGE AFTERCARE
To prolong that feeling of bliss and ensure your body reaps the full reward of your treatment, please follow these simple tips:
💧 HYDRATE
Massage increases circulation and moves lymph fluid. Drink 1.5–2 litres of water or herbal tea over the next 24 hours — this helps your body flush out toxins and rebalance from the inside out.
🛌 REST & RELAX
Allow yourself time to rest after your treatment. Avoid heavy exercise, hot baths, saunas or alcohol for at least 12 hours — your body is still releasing tension, and rest helps this process work fully.
🥗 EAT LIGHTLY
Have a light, healthy meal if you feel hungry — heavy, rich food or large meals can make you feel sluggish while your body is processing the treatment.
🌿 ABOUT YOUR OILS
I have used a custom blend of oils chosen for your skin type and needs:
• Sweet Almond — nourishing & softening
• Grapeseed — light & antioxidant‑rich
• Jojoba — balancing
• Sesame Seed — deeply moisturising & warming
• Essential oils — chosen for relaxation or pain relief
All oils are natural, high‑quality and carefully selected to care for your skin and enhance your treatment.
❤️ WHAT TO EXPECT
It is normal to feel:
• Very relaxed / sleepy
• A little light‑headed
• Thirsty
• Slight soreness (like after exercise) — this is just muscles releasing tension
These are all good signs — it means the treatment is working!
🔥 HOT / COLD STONE MASSAGE — EXTRA AFTERCARE
Follow all the general advice above, plus these extra points:
• HEAT EFFECTS: The stones increase blood flow deeply into muscles. You may feel very warm or flushed afterwards — this is healthy circulation working.
• KEEP WARM: Your body has been deeply heated — wrap up well and avoid cold drafts or cold showers for 6 hours.
• DETOX: You may feel you need to use the toilet more — this is the stones helping your body eliminate waste; keep drinking water!
• DEEP RELAXATION: You will likely feel very sleepy — listen to your body and rest as much as you can.

AFTERCARE - HOLISTIC THERAPIES
✨ REFLEXOLOGY AFTERCARE
Reflexology works on all body systems through points on your feet. To get the best results:
💧 DRINK PLENTY OF WATER — 2 litres minimum over next 24 hours. This is essential as reflexology works heavily on your lymphatic and waste systems.
🌡️ AVOID alcohol, caffeine, heavy meals and strenuous exercise for 12 hours.
💤 REST: You may feel very tired or unusually energetic — both are normal! Your body is rebalancing. You might also feel a bit emotional or have a headache; this is just toxins leaving the body — it will pass quickly.
🦶 FOOT CARE: Your feet may be sensitive or tender for a few hours — wear loose, comfortable shoes.
✨ SIDE EFFECTS (GOOD ONES!):
• Increased urination
• Bowel movement changes
• Runny nose / cold‑like symptoms
• Feeling light‑headed
All mean it’s working! Just keep hydrated and rest.
✨ INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE AFTERCARE
This works on your head, neck, shoulders and upper back — releasing tension and clearing energy channels.
💧 HYDRATE: Drink plenty of water — this helps clear toxins released from neck and shoulder muscles.
💆♀️ RELAX: Your neck and scalp have been worked deeply. Avoid heavy lifting, driving or intense concentration for an hour or two.
💤 FEELINGS: You may feel:
• Very light / “spaced out” / dreamy
• Warmth or tingling down the arms
• Tiredness or deep sleep later
✨ HEADACHE: A mild headache is common — drink water, rest, and it will fade quickly.
🚿 HAIR: Your hair has been treated with nourishing oils — you can wash it whenever you like, or leave the oils to condition your scalp overnight.
✨ HOPI EAR CANDLING AFTERCARE
A beautiful, relaxing treatment for ears, sinuses, head and energy.
👂 IMPORTANT: DO NOT get water in your ears for 24 hours. Do not swim, shower directly into ears, or use cotton buds inside the ear canal.
💧 DRINK WATER: Helps clear sinuses and lymph system.
🌬️ SINUS RELEASE: You may feel mucus moving or sneezing — this is the treatment clearing congestion, perfectly normal.
💤 RELAX: You will feel very calm and clear‑headed. Avoid loud noises or music straight after.
✨ SIDE EFFECTS: Slight dizziness, popping sounds in ears, or temporary hearing changes — all pass within a few hours.
✨ REIKI AFTERCARE
Reiki is pure energy healing — it works on every level: physical, emotional, mental & spiritual.
💧 WATER: Very important — energy moves fast; water helps ground and settle it. Drink 2 litres over 24 hours.
🛌 REST & SLEEP: You will likely feel deeply relaxed, peaceful or very tired. Sleep is the best way to let Reiki work — you may sleep very deeply or have vivid dreams.
❤️ EMOTIONS: You might feel unexpectedly emotional, tearful or happy — Reiki releases old stress and feelings. This is healing, let it happen.
✨ CLEANSING: You may feel:
• Headache / fuzzy head
• Tummy upset / need to go to toilet
• Hot/cold flushes
• Thirst
This is the “cleansing reaction” — it means the energy has shifted blockages. It only lasts 24 hours max.
🌸 BE GENTLE WITH YOURSELF: Do nothing demanding today — this is your time to recharge.
AFTERCARE — PREGNANCY TREATMENTS
(Safe & gentle for you & baby)
✨ GENERAL PREGNANCY MASSAGE / THERAPY AFTERCARE
All treatments here are specially adapted for you and your growing bump.
💧 DRINK WATER: Essential for you and baby — keeps circulation good and helps reduce swelling.
🛌 REST: Your body is working so hard now! Take time to lie down or sit comfortably (side‑lying is best) for at least 30 mins afterwards.
❤️ BABY MOVEMENT: You may notice baby moving more — this is because you are relaxed and blood flow is better. This is a wonderful sign!
🤰 SWELLING: If you have ankle swelling, keep feet raised up for a while after treatment.
💤 SLEEP: You will likely sleep much better tonight — enjoy it!
✨ WHAT TO EXPECT:
• Deep relaxation / calmness
• Less back/pelvic pain
• Need to use the toilet often (good for fluid retention)
⚠️ REMINDER: If you feel any contractions, dizziness, or reduced movement — contact your midwife immediately, just to be safe.
✨ PREGNANCY REFLEXOLOGY — EXTRA
• Great for helping balance hormones, sleep and digestion.
• You may feel baby move a lot — reflexology stimulates them gently.
• Avoid strong smells or hot environments for rest of day.
AFTERCARE - CLINICARE FACIALS & SKIN
(Mini Facial / Anti‑Ageing / Instant Glow / Acne / Sensitive / Hydration / Brightening / Chemical Peel / Dermaplaning / Non‑Invasive Carboxytherapy)
✨ GENERAL FACIAL AFTERCARE
Your skin has been deeply cleansed, exfoliated, nourished and treated with professional Clinicare products — it is now fresh, glowing and perfectly balanced.
💧 HYDRATE
Drink 1.5–2 litres of water or herbal tea over the next 24 hours — this plumps your skin from within and helps flush out impurities.
💄 MAKEUP
✅ You CAN wear makeup straight away if you wish — all treatments are gentle and non‑invasive. Just use clean products and apply lightly if you like.
❌ WHAT TO AVOID FOR 24 HOURS
• ❌ No harsh products: Do not use scrubs, exfoliants, retinol, acids or strong active ingredients at home — your skin is already perfectly treated.
• ❌ No extreme heat: Avoid very hot baths, saunas, steam rooms or heavy sweating — keep skin calm.
• ❌ No sunbeds / strong sun: Your skin is fresh — always use SPF 30–50 daily to protect your glow.
✅ WHAT TO DO
• ✅ Moisturise: Use only the Clinicare products I have recommended or applied today — they are matched exactly to your skin.
• ✅ Be gentle: Pat skin dry, do not rub.
• ✅ Enjoy your glow! You will look and feel fresh, bright and smooth immediately.
✨ NORMAL REACTIONS
• Slight pinkness or warmth — fades in 30–60 mins
• Temporary tight or “clean” feeling
• Occasional small breakout (skin clearing deep impurities) — resolves quickly.
⚠️ CHEMICAL PEEL / DERMAPLANING / BRIGHTENING — EXTRA CARE
(Stronger treatments — still gentle, just a little extra care)
✅ Makeup is still fine — just apply lightly, skin may feel extra smooth/sensitive.
• You may notice very mild flaking or dryness over 2–3 days — this is just old skin cells naturally lifting away to reveal fresh skin.
• Do NOT pick or rub flakes off — let them shed naturally; moisturise well.
• SPF 50+ EVERY DAY for 2 weeks — this is the only rule to follow strictly, to keep results perfect.
💨 NON‑INVASIVE CARBOXYTHERAPY (CLINICARE)
Safe, gentle, oxygen‑boosting treatment — no downtime, no restrictions
• You may feel warmth, tingling or tiny bubbles under skin — this is oxygen working deep down to brighten and tighten.
• ✅ Makeup, normal routine, everything allowed straight away — no waiting, no rules.
• ✅ Drink extra water — helps oxygenate skin even more.
• ✅ Skin looks instantly brighter, firmer and clearer — results keep improving over 3–5 days.
✨ Perfect for: dull skin, fine lines, puffiness, uneven tone — instant glow, zero downtime.
✨ PROFHILO® / SKIN BOOSTERS AFTERCARE
Injectable hyaluronic acid — smooths, hydrates and lifts from inside.
⏱️ IMMEDIATELY:
• You will see tiny bumps or slight lumps where injected — THIS IS NORMAL and will smooth out completely in 1–3 days.
• Slight bruising, redness, swelling or tenderness is expected — lasts 2–5 days.
❌ FIRST 24 HOURS:
• ❌ DO NOT TOUCH, MASSAGE OR PRESS the treated area — you might move the product.
• ❌ NO HOT THINGS: No hot showers, baths, saunas, steam, sun, exercise or alcohol — heat makes it swell.
• ❌ NO MAKEUP for 12 hours — avoid infection risk.
✅ DO:
• ✅ Drink PLENTY of water — 2–3 litres daily for 2 weeks — this makes Profhilo work better! It needs water to expand and hydrate your skin.
• ✅ Keep head upright as much as possible for first 4 hours.
• ✅ Sleep with head slightly elevated tonight.
📅 DAYS 2–7:
• Lumps soften, skin feels smoother.
• You may feel skin “tightening” — that’s the collagen stimulation starting.
• SPF 50 daily — essential to protect results.
✨ RESULTS: You won’t see full results for 2–4 weeks — it slowly hydrates and lifts over time. Course of treatments works best!
📞 CONTACT ME: If you see severe swelling, pain, white patches or bruising that worries you — message me straight away.
✨ POLYNUCLEOTIDES AFTERCARE
⏱️ IMMEDIATELY AFTER TREATMENT
• Tiny bumps, slight lumps, redness, tenderness or mild swelling is completely normal — this settles fully in 1–3 days.
• You may see small needle marks — these fade in 24–48 hours.
• Do NOT touch, press, massage or rub the treated area — do not move the product.
❌ FIRST 24 HOURS
• ❌ NO HOT SHOWERS, BATHS, SAUNAS, STEAM, SUN, SUNBEDS, HEAT or HEAVY EXERCISE — heat increases swelling.
• ❌ NO ALCOHOL — thins blood and increases bruising risk.
• ❌ NO MAKEUP for 12 hours — keep area clean to avoid infection.
• ❌ NO FACIAL MASSAGES, DERMAPLANING or PEELS for 2 weeks.
✅ WHAT TO DO
• ✅ DRINK PLENTY OF WATER — 2–3 LITRES DAILY FOR 2 WEEKS — this is the most important step. Polynucleotides work by attracting and holding moisture — water makes them activate and hydrate your skin from deep down.
• ✅ Keep your head upright as much as possible for the first 4 hours.
• ✅ Sleep with your head slightly elevated on extra pillows tonight — reduces swelling.
• ✅ Use only gentle, approved skincare — no acids, retinol or strong products for 7 days.
📅 DAYS 2–14
• Lumps soften completely, skin feels smoother, plumper and more hydrated.
• You may feel mild “tightening” — this is collagen and elastin stimulation starting.
• SPF 50+ EVERY SINGLE DAY — non‑negotiable, protects new skin structure.
✨ RESULTS
• Works gradually — you will see fresh, glowing, plump skin improving over 2–4 weeks.
• Lasts longer than standard boosters — builds skin health long‑term.
