Facial Treatment Aftercare

here is your important aftercare information

Our advanced aesthetic facials are stronger than a traditional beauty treatment and therefore may require you to follow aftercare advice to prevent damage to your facial skin and tissue afterwards.

It is advised to always use SPF 30+ every day, in strong sunlight re-apply every 2 hours and wear a hat as well. This will prevent damage to the more youthful skin layer that is just forming.

Never pick or scratch at your skin after an aesthetic facial treatment.

You may lightly cleanse your skin the evening after your facial treatment with cotton pads and warm water and a mild facial wash and apply a thin layer of savlon. Your skin will be very clean after your treatment so unless you have applied make-up you should not over cleanse the skin.

Do not use hot water or have a hot shower for 24 hours as this may negatively affect your treatment and cause unwanted side effects.

Do not scrub or exfoliate for 7 days after.

You may apply make-up after 2 hours - except where your therapist has expressed no to so.
