To achieve the best results from your facial treatment, we recommend the following:
- Stay Hydrated: Drink 2–3 litres of water daily to keep your skin hydrated and flush out toxins. Carry a large water bottle with you and add lemon or lime for extra flavour.
- Avoid Alcohol: Refrain from consuming alcohol for at least 48 hours after your treatment to allow your skin to heal optimally.
- Protect Your Skin: Avoid sunbeds and direct UV exposure for a minimum of 1 week. Always apply SPF daily to protect your skin from harmful rays and maintain your results.
- Avoid Heat and Cold Extremes: For 24 hours, steer clear of hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, or extreme cold to prevent irritation and support healing.
- Be Gentle with Your Skin: Gently cleanse the treated area after 24 hours using warm water and avoid scented or fragranced products unless they’ve been provided or recommended by us. Normal cleansing routines can resume after 24 hours.
- Skip the Actives: Avoid using active ingredients such as Vitamin C, retinol, glycolic acid, or similar products for at least 7 days post-treatment
- Moisturise Daily: Apply a hydrating moisturiser and SPF each day to nourish and protect your skin.
- Hydrating Masks: Use a replenishing or hydrating mask three times a week to combat dryness, or apply hyaluronic acid for a boost of hydration.
- Gentle Exfoliation: If needed, perform a light exfoliation on day 4 to remove any dry or flaky skin.
- Avoid Anticoagulants: Do not take aspirin or other anticoagulant medications, as they can slow down the healing process.
- Pause on Other Treatments: Allow 2 weeks before undergoing any additional treatments, such as laser or IPL, in the same area.
To achieve the best results from your body treatment, we recommend the following:
- Stay Hydrated: Drink 2–3 litres of water daily, adding lemon, lime, or cucumber for extra flavour and detox benefits. This will help flush out fat cells through your lymphatic system.
- Aid Fat Removal: Aim for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour of exercise daily to aid fat cell metabolism and promote a healthy lifestyle. Every little bit counts—use any excuse for movement! Consider daily walks, taking the stairs, or tackling household chores. If you have a regular exercise class, schedule it within 48 hours of your treatment. Swimming is particularly beneficial for lymphatic health. Don’t forget to turn your shower to cold
for the last minute to get your lymphatics pumping! - Healthy Eating: Follow a balanced diet during treatment (check our website under ‘Resources’) and reduce alcohol, carbohydrates, and caffeine. This is also about embracing a lifestyle change to support long-lasting results.
- Body Brushing: Body brush twice daily for 2 minutes to stimulate your lymphatic system.
- Avoid Heat: For 24 hours after treatment, avoid hot water, heat treatments (saunas, steam rooms), and extreme cold.
- Lymphatic Massage: Consider incorporating lymphatic massage to accelerate fat cell removal (body ballancer® is an excellent treatment to do this!).
