Treatment-Specific Care

Detailed instructions tailored to your specific clinical procedure

Dermal Fillers

  • Avoid touching, pressing, or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours.
  • Apply cold compresses periodically (wrapped in a clean cloth) to ease swelling.
  • Sleep with your head elevated on extra pillows during the first night.

Ultraformer 7D HIFU

  • Avoid extremely hot or ice-cold water when washing your face for 48 hours.
  • Do not use active peeling agents (Retinol, AHA/BHA) for 3-5 days post-treatment.
  • Temporary deep muscular tenderness along the jawline is completely normal and expected.

RF Microneedling

  • Keep the skin clean and strictly avoid applying makeup for at least 24 hours.
  • Apply recommended soothing barrier balms and hyaluronic moisturizers frequently.
  • Expect a light sandpaper-like texture for 3-7 days. Do not pick or exfoliate.

Polynucleotides & Skin Boosters

  • Wear broad-spectrum SPF 50 daily without exception to protect cellular regeneration.
  • Stay well-hydrated (2+ liters daily) to support the biological hydration matrix.
  • Avoid high heat (saunas, steam rooms, direct sun) for 14 days post-treatment.

The Do's

  • Apply SPF 50+ Broad Spectrum

    Protect healing tissue from UV damage, especially after treatments that resurface skin.

  • Stay Thoroughly Hydrated

    Drink at least 2 liters of water daily to support cell plumping and recovery.

  • Allow Products to Integrate

    Final results settle over 2 to 3 weeks. Allow your body time to harmonize naturally.

The Don'ts

  • Heavy Exercise

    Avoid strenuous workouts or heavy weight lifting for 48 hours to minimize bruising.

  • Extreme Heat Exposure

    Avoid saunas, steam rooms, tanning beds, or hot tubs for at least 7 days.

  • Aggressive Skincare

    Pause Retinoids, Vitamin C serums, and mechanical scrubs until all redness resolves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common post-procedure queries

Most swelling peaks between 24 and 48 hours and subsides noticeably within 3 to 7 days. Applying cold compresses (wrapped in a clean cloth) for 10 minutes every few hours significantly expedites recovery.
We strictly recommend waiting at least 24 hours before applying any makeup or foundation to ensure micro-entry points have closed completely and avoid bacterial contamination.
Please refrain from alcohol for at least 24 to 48 hours post-treatment. Alcohol dilates blood vessels and increases the likelihood and severity of bruising.
