The use of skincare products including a gentle cleanser, hydrating serum & gentle moisturiser will help prepare the skin for treatments & enhance results.

If you have a history of herpes simplex or cold sores, you may wish to take anti-viral medications prior to treatments, to prevent an onset.

Areas treated with muscle relaxants or dermal fillers must be completely healed or wait 2weeks before any skin treatments can be performed.

-
Avoid exercise, excessive sweating, hot showers, spas, saunas & pools for at least 24-48 hours post treatment.

The inflammatory reaction & mild erythema of the skin is extremely short & fade significantly within an hour, but may last 12-24hours. In order to reduce visible redness we recommend hyaluronic acid 24hours after the procedure.
