At Maison de Glow, we want your results to last beautifully and for your skin to remain healthy. Please follow the guidance below after your Elim Pedicure and Heel Peel treatment. ⸻ What to Expect • Mild dryness, flaking, or tightness may occur for a few days. • You may see gradual peeling of the skin as the treatment works. • This is normal and part of the skin renewal process. ⸻ Aftercare Instructions For the first 24–48 hours: • Avoid hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, or swimming pools. • Keep feet clean and dry. • Do not pick or peel at flaking skin — allow it to shed naturally. Moisturise daily: • Apply a gentle, fragrance-free cream (such as a urea-based foot cream or nourishing balm) morning and night. • For very dry areas, apply cream before bed and wear clean cotton socks to lock in hydration. Footwear: • Wear supportive, comfortable shoes to avoid friction on the heels. • Avoid prolonged wear of backless or hard-soled shoes until skin is fully smooth. Exfoliation: • Do not use foot files, pumice stones, or harsh scrubs until at least 7 days after treatment, or until peeling has fully completed. • Light maintenance filing can be resumed only when the skin is intact and smooth. General care: • Stay well hydrated — healthy skin begins within. • Maintain regular moisturising to prevent dryness and cracks from returning. ⸻ Important Safety Notes • Do not use retinol, acids, or strong exfoliants on the feet after treatment. • If you experience persistent redness, swelling, severe pain, or signs of infection (warmth, pus, spreading redness), seek medical advice promptly. • Elim Pedicure and Heel Peel treatments are not recommended for clients with open wounds, active skin infections, severe eczema/psoriasis flares, or uncontrolled diabetes. ⸻ Maintenance For best results, we recommend: • Daily at-home moisturising • Professional treatments every 4–6 weeks to maintain smooth, soft heels ⸻ Disclaimer The above guidance is for general aftercare purposes only and does not replace medical advice. Results may vary depending on individual skin type and health. Please follow your therapist’s personalised advice and consult a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.

Your HD Brows treatment has been designed to create beautifully defined, natural brows tailored to you. To keep them looking their best and to protect your skin, please follow the guidance below. ⸻ What to Expect • Brows may appear slightly darker or bolder immediately after treatment. This will soften within 24–48 hours. • Skin around the brows may be a little red — this is normal and should settle the same day. • Tint may fade gradually depending on your skin type and lifestyle. ⸻ Aftercare Instructions For the first 24–48 hours: • Avoid touching, rubbing, or scratching the brow area. • Do not apply makeup, self-tan, or perfumed products to the brows or surrounding skin. • Avoid heat treatments such as saunas, steam rooms, sunbeds, hot showers, or swimming. • Keep brows completely dry — no water, cleansers, or oils directly on them. To protect your tint: • Avoid strong sun exposure, exfoliants, and products containing retinol or acids around the brows. • Use a gentle, non-oily cleanser when washing your face. • If you use SPF on your face (recommended), apply it carefully around the brows. For the best finish: • Apply a nourishing brow serum or conditioning oil daily to keep brows healthy and promote growth. • Avoid tweezing or waxing between appointments to maintain your shape. • Book in every 4–6 weeks for regular maintenance. ⸻ Important Safety Notes • If you experience prolonged redness, swelling, itching, or any signs of irritation, contact your therapist immediately. • Do not attempt to re-tint or re-shape your brows at home between appointments. • This treatment is not suitable for anyone with open wounds, active skin conditions in the brow area, or recent cosmetic treatments (such as chemical peels or laser) within the past 2 weeks. ⸻ Maintenance • Everyday: condition your brows with a serum or oil. • Every 4–6 weeks: return for a full HD Brows treatment to refresh shape, colour, and definition. ⸻ Disclaimer This advice is provided for aftercare purposes only and does not replace medical guidance. Always follow the personalised instructions given by your therapist. Results may vary depending on individual skin type, hair growth cycle, and lifestyle.

Reactions from treatment: Reactions from treatment include: skin redness and flushing, peeling, dryness, irritation, tightness, itching, tenderness, accentuated lines & wrinkles due to dryness, stinging and swelling. Effects will usually typically resolve within hours and many people are able to return to their normal activities the same or next day. Some people may react differently and may experience these reactions for longer. However, these reactions are temporary and typically resolve within 3-7 days as the skin returns to normal. There is a small risk of side effects causing the skin to turn very red, blister, swell, peel and later scab and crust. In severe cases infection and ulceration may result, although this is not expected to occur due to the sterility of the procedure and the minimally invasive nature of the peel. There is a small risk that hyperpigmentation of the skin can occur after the procedure, although this is not normally expected due to the superficial type of peel used. Failure to follow the advice detailed below can increase this risk. Post Treatment Advice: • The skin may peel or flake but refrain from touching, picking or pulling at any loose skin as this may compromise results. The skin can be cleansed with a gentle cleanser with warm / tepid water but the use of soap should be avoided until the skin normalises. Do not scrub. Pat to dry only. Avoid the use of benzoyl peroxide or glycolic acid facial skin products for 2 - 3 days after the skin has healed Avoid facial products containing fragrance for 5-7 days after treatment as these may irritate the skin. Avoid the use of exfoliants, further peeling agents, retinoids, retinols and vitamin A products for 5-7 days after treatment. Refrain from saunas, steam baths and hot showers for 24 hours. Avoid high impact aerobic exercise or vigorous physical activity for 24 hours after treatment. Avoid intensive sun exposure, tanning booths or extreme weather conditions for a minimum of 2 weeks. Use daily sunscreen protection with a minimum of 30 SPF for at least 1 week after treatment. Avoid electrolysis, depilatory creams, waxing and laser hair removal for a minimum of 7 days after treatment. Avoid strong chlorinated water (swimming or cleaning) for approximately 14 days. Use of an intensive moisturiser is advised for at least a week as skin may feel drier or tighter after treatment. Mineral make-up can be applied once skin has settled Any concerns should be reported to your practitioner as soon as possible.
