Aftercare
After your treatment
General guidance for the days after your appointment, not medical advice. Rafael gives you specific aftercare for your treatment at your appointment, and that advice is the one to follow. If anything worries you afterwards, call 089 454 9870.
PRP
Your own blood, processed and returned to your skin, so the aftercare is mostly about letting the regeneration work undisturbed. Full aftercare is provided post appointment.
- • Do not touch or rub the treated area for 24 hours.
- • No makeup on the treated area for 24 hours.
- • Avoid sun, saunas, steam rooms and swimming for 48 hours, and use sun protection.
- • Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 to 48 hours.
- • Mild redness, swelling or bruising is normal and usually settles within a few days.
- • Drink water and rest. The treatment works with your body's own healing.
Dermal Fillers
The result is immediate. The aftercare protects it while the filler settles.
- • Do not press or massage the treated area unless Rafael tells you to.
- • No makeup on the treated area for 24 hours.
- • Avoid sun, saunas, steam rooms and swimming for 48 hours, and use sun protection.
- • Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 to 48 hours.
- • Mild swelling or bruising is normal and usually settles within a few days.
- • The result is immediate and can be assessed and altered if needed, so tell Rafael at your appointment if anything worries you.
Anti Wrinkle
A short treatment with light aftercare. Keep the treated areas still and clean for the rest of the day.
- • Do not touch or rub the treated areas for 24 hours.
- • No makeup on the treated areas for 24 hours.
- • Avoid sun, saunas, steam rooms and swimming for 48 hours, and use sun protection.
- • Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
- • Mild redness, swelling or bruising is normal and usually settles within a few days.
Collagen Stimulators: Lanluma, Sculptra, Radiesse
Volume now, collagen over weeks and months. The aftercare protects the result while it builds.
- • Do not massage the treated area unless Rafael tells you to.
- • No makeup on the treated area for 24 hours.
- • Avoid heat, saunas and strenuous exercise for 24 to 48 hours.
- • Mild swelling or bruising is normal and usually settles within a few days.
- • Results develop gradually over weeks to months. This is normal, not a problem.
- • Use sun protection.
Advanced Face: Microneedling, Skin Boosters, Peels, Dermaplaning
Controlled micro injuries and deep cleansing leave the skin open for a day, so keep it clean and calm.
- • No makeup for 24 hours; cleanse gently with lukewarm water.
- • Sun protection is essential. The treated skin is sensitive to sun.
- • Avoid active skincare (retinol, acids, vitamin C) for a few days, or as Rafael advises.
- • Mild redness like sunburn for 1 to 3 days is normal.
- • Do not pick or peel flaking skin.
- • Avoid saunas, steam rooms, swimming and strenuous exercise for 48 hours.
Ultraformer 7D
A non invasive lifting and tightening treatment. The aftercare is light.
- • Mild redness or swelling that settles quickly is normal.
- • Avoid heat for 24 hours.
- • Normal activities are usually fine the same day.
- • Use sun protection on the treated area.
Laser, RF Microneedling, Plasma Pen & Tattoo Removal
Laser and energy treatments work by heating the skin, so sun protection and calm skin matter most afterwards.
- • Use sun protection. The treated skin is sensitive to sun.
- • No makeup on the treated area for 24 hours.
- • Avoid saunas, steam rooms, swimming and strenuous exercise for 48 hours.
- • Do not pick or peel flaking skin.
- • Mild redness or swelling is normal and usually settles within a few days.
- • For laser hair removal, shave the area one day before your appointment, never on the day itself.
Fat Dissolve: Lemon Bottle, Aqualyx & Enzymes
Fat dissolving injections break down stubborn fat, and your body clears it over the following days. Water helps.
- • Drink 2 litres of water a day after treatment, to help flush the fatty acid out quicker.
- • For abdominal areas, fast for 6 hours prior to your appointment, including milk in coffee. Arm and chin areas do not require fasting.
- • Mild swelling or bruising is normal and usually settles within a few days.
- • Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 to 48 hours.
- • Use sun protection on the treated area.
Thread Vein Treatment: Sclerotherapy
The clinic's own published aftercare for sclerotherapy, from the Fresha menu.
- • Avoid heavy exercise like the gym, running or jogging, or anything too strenuous for 1 week. Light exercise is ok.
- • Avoid hot extremes like sauna, steam rooms and jacuzzi for 1 week.
- • Avoid going on long haul flights for 1 week.
- • Avoid hot extremes for 7 to 10 days post treatment, such as sauna.
- • Mild itching towards the end of the treatment is normal and can last up to 1 to 2 hours post completion.
