What to Expect During & After Treatment
After your treatment, your skin will go through a natural healing process, with mild redness and sensitivity lasting for up to 24-48 hours. While some clients notice an immediate glow, the most significant results appear over the following weeks as collagen production increases.
It’s normal to experience temporary side effects such as:
- Mild redness or sensitivity
- A tight or dry sensation
- Light peeling or flaking in some cases
Maximising Your Results & Post-Treatment Care
To enhance your results and support skin healing, we recommend the following:
- Apply Sunscreen Daily: Use SPF 50+ to protect your new skin from UV damage.
- Stay Hydrated: Keep your skin nourished with a quality moisturizer and drink plenty of water.
- Avoid Active Ingredients: Hold off on retinol, AHAs, or other exfoliants for at least 5 days.
- Do Not Pick or Scratch the Skin: Allow your skin to heal naturally for the best outcome.
