We spend as long on aftercare instructions as we do on the treatment itself, because the skin is at its most receptive — and most vulnerable — in the days that follow.
Days 1–2
Keep the skin cool and clean. Use only the gentle cleanser and moisturiser we give you. No makeup, no active ingredients, no gym.
Days 3–5
Light flaking is normal. Do not pick or scrub. Moisturise more often than feels necessary, and keep sunscreen on even indoors near windows.
Days 6–7
The new skin is settling. You can reintroduce makeup and mild actives. Continue sunscreen daily — this is the single biggest factor in whether pigmentation returns.
When to call us
Persistent heat, swelling or blistering is not normal. Call the clinic the same day; we would rather see you unnecessarily than miss a reaction.
