Your Aftercare Guide.
Thoughtful care after your treatment matters just as much as the treatment itself. Here's how to look after your skin — and yourself — in the days that follow.
A few things that hold true, whatever you've had done.
Protect from the sun
UV exposure can affect healing and pigmentation — SPF 50 is your best friend after most treatments.
Stay hydrated
Drinking plenty of water supports your skin's natural recovery process from the inside out.
Take it easy
Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas and excessive heat for at least 24–48 hours after treatment.
Reach out if unsure
If anything feels different to what you expected, we're only ever a call or message away.
