Aftercare that quietly makes the difference

Every treatment we offer comes with a printed aftercare card. But a few principles apply almost universally — and following them makes the difference between a good result and a great one.

The first 24 hours

Keep the area clean and untouched. Avoid makeup on treated skin, sleep on your back where practical, and skip strenuous exercise. Alcohol and blood thinners increase bruising — avoid where possible.

The first 72 hours

No saunas, steam rooms, hot yoga, sun beds or long-haul flights. Heat and pressure disrupt healing. Introduce actives (retinoids, acids) only after 72 hours unless we advise otherwise.

The first two weeks

SPF every day without exception. Gentle cleansing and hydration. Any concerns — asymmetry, prolonged redness, tenderness — get in touch. We would always rather hear from you early.
