SKIN TREATMENTS, PEELS & SKIN NEEDLING PRE-CARE
 

Prior to booking Skin Treatments, it is recommended to book in a skin consultation.

This is a requirement for all Peel Treatments and Skin Needling Treatments. 

 

• Cease use of all exfoliating products and active ingredients (AHA/BHA/RETINOIDS) 1 week prior.

• Avoid direct sun exposure, professional peels, and injectables for two weeks before your appointment.

• Avoid waxing, threading, or hair removal in the treatment area before your appointment.

• Inform your therapist of any skin concerns, allergies, medications, pregnancy, recent procedures, or changes in your skin.

​

 

SKIN TREATMENTS/FACIALS AFTERCARE

​

• Avoid touching your face unnecessarily.

• Use gentle, recommended skincare products.

• Keep skin hydrated and protected with SPF daily.

• Avoid excessive heat, sweating, swimming, and saunas immediately after treatment.

• Avoid exfoliating products and active ingredients until your skin has fully recovered.

​

SKIN PEELS & SKIN NEEDLING AFTERCARE
 

Your post-procedure after care can greatly enhance recovery after receiving your Advanced Skin Treatment. It may also assist in reducing risk of potential side effects that can occur post treatment.

Please review the following post-procedure care recommendations to ensure optimal results.
 

Your skin may present with redness, swelling, discomfort, tightness and peeling for up to 7 days. This is a normal response. If you become concerned with your skin response, please contact us immediately. 

If prone to cold sores, medication may be necessary. 
 

POST SKIN TREATMENT CARE

​

Please follow your recommended home care regime for the next 3 - 5 days.

​

On the day of treatment:

• Strict sun avoidance is advised

• No contact with animals/pets near the treated area

• Ensure your sheets and pillowcases are clean

• Avoid hot showers and baths

• Avoid swimming pools, spas and saunas

• Avoid vigorous exercise
   

On the day after your treatment:

• Broad spectrum sunscreen must be applied regularly from today and for the remainder of your treatment plan. Reapply every 2 hours

• Mineral make up may be applied if no discomfort is experienced when cleansing
   

1 week after your treatment you may resume:

• Physical exfoliation

• Hair removal including waxing, depilation creams and laser hair reduction
   

2 weeks after your treatment you may resume:

• Professional skin treatments (please advise if you are planning other skin treatments)

​

Sun Protection:

We recommend physical avoidance of the sun in all treated areas and regular

re-application of a broad spectrum sunscreen SPF 30 or higher.

Incidental sun exposure i.e driving to and from work, walking to your car, to the house etc. will still require application of your sunscreen.

​

Recovery:

​Following your Mesoneedling treatment, your skin may appear pink and feel warm, similar to a sunburn. This is normal and typically resolves within 24-48 hours. Some sensitivity and dryness may persist for a few days, but generally, your skin will return to its normal state within 5-7 days.
