Welcome to HM Aesthetics — where your beauty and wellbeing are my top priority. After every treatment, following the correct aftercare advice helps ensure the best results, promotes healing, and prolongs your results.
Below you’ll find aftercare guidelines for each of our treatments. If you ever have any questions or experience anything unusual, please contact me directly.

Do not apply mascara or lash serums.

Avoid waterproof mascara to prevent weakening the lift.

Do not apply deodorant, body sprays, or perfumed lotions to the waxed area.
Avoid tight clothing that may cause friction.
Refrain from exfoliating or scrubbing the area.
After 48 hours:

Massage Aftercare
Immediately after treatment:
Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins released during the massage.

Rest if you feel lightheaded or tired — this is normal.
Over the next 24 hours:
Take a warm bath to further relax muscles (add Epsom salts if recommended).
Continue to hydrate and stretch gently if needed.

Immediately after treatment:
Redness, small bumps, or mild swelling may occur — this is normal and should subside within 24–48 hours.

Cryotherapy (CryoPen) Aftercare
Immediately after treatment:
The area may appear red or slightly swollen — this is normal.
A blister or scab may form within a few hours. Do not pick or scratch it.
Over the following days:
Keep the area clean and dry.
Clean gently with mild soap and water once or twice daily.
Allow the scab to fall off naturally (usually within 1–2 weeks).

Apply SPF to the area after healing to prevent pigmentation changes.
