Whether used for anti-ageing, pigmentation, or rejuvenation, our skincare procedures can provide remarkable outcomes. However, it’s crucial to adequately prepare for your treatment and adhere to a rigorous aftercare regimen if you want to guarantee the finest result.

Stay Hydrated: In the days preceding any skincare procedure, it is essential to stay properly hydrated. Skin that is properly moisturised heals more quickly and reacts better to treatments. To keep your skin looking its best, use a mild moisturiser and drink lots of water.

Avoid Harsh Products: Active chemicals like retinoids, beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), or exfoliating scrubs should be avoided in the week before your treatment. These products may make the treatment more painful or cause undesirable side effects like redness or irritation by making the skin more sensitive.

Use Medications with Caution: Some drugs can make you more likely to bruise or bleed while receiving therapy, particularly those that thin the blood (like aspirin). Any drugs or supplements you are taking should be guided by us, as they may suggest stopping them a few days prior to your visit.

Shield Your Skin from the Sun: One of the most frequent causes of problems following treatment, such as hyperpigmentation, is sun exposure. Make sure you use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day and stay out of tanning beds and the sun for at least two weeks prior to your treatment.

Recognise When to Avoid Therapy: It is preferable to delay your appointment if you have severe acne, open wounds, or current skin infections. In addition to delaying recovery, treating damaged skin might make it worse.

 

Aftercare for Skincare Treatments

Hydrate & Moisturise: Your skin will require more hydration to aid in healing following your treatment. To keep your skin hydrated and plump, use a mild moisturiser on a daily basis and stay hydrated.

Avoid Direct Sunlight: Skin after treatment is frequently more photosensitive. To shield your skin from damaging UV rays, keep applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day. Avoid the sun as much as you can, especially in the initial days after the procedure, when your skin is more prone to injury and discolouration.

Don’t Wear Too Much Makeup: Following a lot of skincare procedures, particularly exfoliation or resurfacing, your skin might be more prone to irritation. For at least 24 to 48 hours, refrain from wearing heavy makeup so that your skin can breathe and heal. If necessary, use cosmetics that is based on minerals because it is kinder to delicate skin.

Avoid Excessive Heat: After your treatment, stay away from steam rooms, saunas, and hot showers for at least 48 hours. Heat can make redness, swelling, and irritation worse and slow down the healing process of your skin. Avoid harsh scrubbing and instead wash your face with lukewarm water.

Follow Your Skincare Provider’s Instructions: There are particular aftercare guidelines for each treatment. Following the recommendations of your skincare specialist will guarantee that your skin recovers effectively and lowers the chance of issues, whether that means using specialised skin care products, avoiding certain activities, or applying soothing creams.

 

Conclusion

To obtain the greatest results, whether you’re receiving a facial, a peel, or an advanced laser treatment, preparation and aftercare are crucial. In addition to increasing the procedure’s efficacy, you can encourage healthier, more radiant skin by taking care of your skin both before and after treatment.
