Aftercare
Your results and safety are our top priority. The right aftercare ensures your skin and body heal beautifully and you get the best outcome from your treatment.
Laser hair removal
To optimise the results of your laser treatment, prioritise your post-treatment care.
- Avoid sweat and bacteria exposure for 48 hours (no gym, hot showers, saunas, pools or spas)
- Wear loose-fitting clothing so the skin can breathe
- Avoid direct sunlight and apply SPF 50+ daily for two weeks
- Begin light exfoliation five days after treatment to assist hair shedding and prevent ingrowns
- Avoid retinol for three days before and after facial laser treatments
Laser tattoo removal
Proper care after tattoo removal helps your skin heal and prevents complications.
- Keep the treated area clean, dry and covered for the first 48 hours
- Avoid touching, scratching or picking at the treated area
- Apply a soothing, fragrance-free healing cream as directed by your therapist
- Avoid direct sun, tanning beds and swimming for at least 7 days
- No makeup or active products (retinol, acids) on the area for one week
Facials and skin treatments
Your skin may feel fresh, warm or slightly flushed afterwards. That is completely normal.
- Avoid makeup, heat exposure and exercise for 24 hours
- No exfoliation or active products (retinol, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C) for 3 to 5 days
- Apply SPF 50+ daily
- Keep the skin hydrated with a gentle, nourishing moisturiser
- Avoid touching or picking at the skin while it settles
Skin needling
Needling creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen, so gentle aftercare enhances the result.
- Avoid touching the face for 12 hours after treatment
- No makeup for 24 to 48 hours
- Avoid heat, sweating and exercise for 48 hours
- Use only the aftercare products recommended by your therapist
- Avoid active ingredients for 7 days, and wear SPF 50+ outdoors
Teeth whitening
Teeth are more porous after whitening, so protect them from staining and sensitivity.
- Avoid staining food and drinks (coffee, tea, red wine, tomato-based sauces, berries) for 48 hours
- Stick to a white diet: rice, chicken, fish, potatoes, milk and clear fluids
- Avoid smoking for 48 hours
- Use a sensitive toothpaste if you feel mild discomfort
- Brush gently and avoid highly pigmented mouthwash for two days
Lashes and brows
A few simple steps keep your results fresh and long-lasting.
- Keep brows and lashes dry for 24 hours after treatment
- No oils, makeup or serums near the treated area for 48 hours
- Avoid steam, saunas and swimming for 48 hours
- Brush brows or lashes daily with a clean spoolie
- After tinting, avoid harsh cleansers and exfoliants around the area
Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning leaves your complexion smooth and bright, and gentle care afterwards is key.
- Avoid makeup for 24 hours
- No exfoliation or active ingredients for 5 to 7 days
- Apply SPF 50+ daily and keep skin hydrated
- Avoid sweating and direct sun for 48 hours
Body contouring and RF tightening
Proper care maximises the results of contouring and tightening treatments.
- Drink at least 2L of water a day for the next 72 hours
- Avoid alcohol, caffeine and processed foods for 24 hours
- Gentle movement or walking supports lymphatic drainage
- Avoid heat exposure (saunas, hot showers) for 24 hours
- Follow your therapist's guidance on session frequency
Pigmentation reduction
Laser pigmentation treatments target excess melanin, so protecting the skin afterwards is crucial.
- Avoid sun exposure and apply SPF 50+ daily for at least 2 weeks
- Do not pick or scratch at any flaking or crusting
- Avoid active skincare products for 5 to 7 days
- Keep the skin cool and hydrated
- Avoid excessive heat, exercise and swimming for 48 hours
