The following aftercare advice is essential to help reduce the risk of treatment complications, to improve your comfort/healing and to help achieve the best possible results from treatment.
What to expect
You may experience redness, tingling and/or increased sensitivity for the next 24-48 hours. This is a completely normal reaction due to increased circulation.
Remember to wear a high-factor SPF 30 or more for at least 2 weeks following treatment (but ideally all-year round!) as your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays.
For 24 hours after treatment, please avoid:
Makeup, as this can increase the risk of infection and/or breakouts.
For 48 hours after treatment, please avoid:
Excess caffeine or alcohol.
For 72 hours after treatment, please avoid:
Harsh products on your skin, including perfumes or fake tan.
Strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms, swimming and sunbeds. These can cause sweating which can irritate the delicate skin and slow down your ability to heal quickly.
For 7 days after treatment, please avoid:
Skin exfoliation, including products containing alpha hydroxyl acids, glycolic acid and retinol.
Hair removal treatments such as waxing or hair removal creams
For 14 days after treatment, please avoid:
Any topical products containing tretinoin, adapalene (Differin), or any other medicated facial creams.
Any cosmetic treatments e.g. botulinum toxin, dermal filler or laser therapy. Please always consult with your skin specialist if you are considering further treatments.
Any chemical resurfacing treatments, microneedling or peels.
