aftercare is not an afterthought

The 24hrs after your appointment

All our treatments are minimally invasive i.e. they require little to no downtime, so you can almost always get back to your day straight away.

We’ll give you treatment specific aftercare at your appointment, but here are a few general tips:

  • don’t touch your face (we know it’s tempting) to avoid irritation

  • depending on the treatment, your skin may have some slight redness - this should subside after a couple of hours

  • leave makeup off for the rest of the day to allow skin to heal, but do use SPF if you’re out and about to protect your skin

  • avoid any strenuous exercise, saunas, swimming, facials/massage & anything else that will seriously flush your face for ~24-48hrs after any injectable treatments

You’re in this [skin] for the long term

  • make SPF your new best friend- use daily to maximise treatment results & longevity, and also to prevent premature ageing and skin cancer. stay clear of tanning beds/UV tanning altogether.

  • minor bruising can occur a couple of days after certain injectable treatments. this shouldn’t be painful, but paracetamol is a good option if you do need pain relief. bruising should resolve within a week or so- please let us know if you noticing it getting worse, or if the area is very swollen or painful

  • we’ll get in touch a week or so after your appointment to check in

  • in the first few days/weeks after treatment, if you notice any new redness, swelling, blistering, your skin is hot to the touch or you feel generally unwell, contact us immediately to arrange an urgent review
