Post-procedure care
Your guide to healing and results.
Follow these best practices after every treatment. If you notice unusual swelling, prolonged redness or unexpected discomfort at the treatment site, contact the clinic immediately.
Do's
Best practices
- Apply SPF 30+ daily. Sun protection is essential after all treatments; reapply every 2–3 hours when outdoors or near windows.
- Keep skin well hydrated. Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser as recommended by your doctor post-treatment.
- Follow your prescribed skincare. Use only the serums and products specifically advised by your practitioner.
- Drink plenty of water. Adequate internal hydration supports skin recovery and enhances treatment results significantly.
- Cleanse gently twice daily. Use a mild, sulphate-free face wash to keep the treated area clean without stripping the skin.
- Attend all follow-up appointments. Continued monitoring by our team ensures optimal, safe healing and the best results.
- Contact the clinic immediately if you notice any unusual swelling, prolonged redness or unexpected discomfort at the treatment site.
Don'ts
Things to avoid
- No direct sun exposure for at least 48–72 hours post-treatment. Avoid tanning beds entirely during the recovery period.
- Do not pick, scratch or peel any flaking skin; allow natural shedding to prevent post-inflammatory scarring and pigmentation.
- Avoid makeup for 24–48 hours after facials, peels or laser treatments to allow the skin to breathe and heal optimally.
- No harsh actives: avoid retinols, AHAs, BHAs, physical scrubs or exfoliants unless specifically cleared by your doctor.
- Avoid strenuous exercise and saunas for 24–48 hours; heat and sweat can cause irritation and compromise results post-procedure.
- No hot water on treated skin. Use lukewarm or cool water for cleansing during the initial days of your recovery period.
- Avoid self-medicating. Do not apply home remedies, steroids or any unprescribed topicals to the treated area without consultation.
