To achieve the maximum benefits from your treatment following this aftercare is an important part of your treatment.

Directly after a treatment – Skin appears quite red, inflamed and slightly swollen, it will probably feel hot, sore and may even sting a little, this initial reaction normally subsides after several hours. If the area feels particularly hot and uncomfortable, place cold dampened clean cotton wool pads soaked in the soothing product onto the treated area. Do not apply any other product to the treated area unless specifically advised to do.

Always

  • Avoid touching the area unnecessarily.
  • Cleanse around the treated area and pat dry (avoid rubbing).
  • Apply a soothing product regularly with clean fingertips or damp cotton wool to the treated area (apply liberally, always on top of the existing application, this will keep the area cool and prevent infection from entering).

  • Use a minimum of SPF 25 over areas treated (and exposed to UV light).
