Your Post-Treatment Aftercare Guide.
Why Aftercare Matters — Post-treatment aftercare is just as important as the treatment itself. By following these guidelines, you’ll not only protect your skin but also maximise the results of your treatment. No matter what treatment you've had, proper aftercare is the key to a glowing, long-lasting finish.
Here’s everything you need to know to care for your skin post-treatment:
1. Hydration is Key
After most treatments, your skin may feel slightly dry or sensitive. Keeping your skin hydrated with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser will help soothe irritation and speed up recovery. This step is essential for maintaining the results of your treatment and ensuring your skin feels comfortable as it heals.
2. Never Skip SPF
Post-treatment skin is often more sensitive to UV exposure, so protecting your skin with daily SPF is non-negotiable. Opt for a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ and apply it religiously every morning, even if you’re indoors or it’s cloudy. UV damage can undo the benefits of your treatment, and protecting your skin ensures your results will last longer.
3. Avoid Heat and Intense Exercise
For the first 24-48 hours after your treatment, it’s best to avoid heat and sweat-inducing activities like saunas, steam rooms, and vigorous exercise. Heat can increase inflammation and disrupt the healing process, potentially leading to irritation or compromised results.
4. Hands Off!
As tempting as it may be, avoid touching your face, picking at your skin, or scratching any areas that might feel sensitive. Post-treatment skin needs time to settle, and touching your skin can introduce bacteria or disturb the healing process.
5. Be Mindful of Your Skincare Routine
Aftercare is about simplicity. Stick to the gentle products recommended by your practitioner and avoid anything harsh or exfoliating. We suggest using a mild cleanser and a hydrating moisturiser, and if you’re unsure about your routine, ask us! We offer tailored post-treatment skincare options to suit your skin’s needs.
6. Skip Makeup for 24-48 Hours
Let your skin breathe! Avoid makeup for at least 24-48 hours post-treatment to give your skin time to heal without interference. If you must wear makeup after this period, choose mineral-based, non-comedogenic formulas that won’t clog your pores.
