Aftercare Advice 


  • For 12 hours after:  Do not wear heavy makeup (you can use mineral makeup as it doesn’t block the skin)
  • For 24 hours after: No swimming, facial waxing or fake tan application
  • For 48 Hours after: No sauna, sun beds or sun exposure. No botox, collagen injections or dermal fillers. 
  • For 72 Hours after: Do not use any anti-ageing creams, AHA’s, glycolics, retinol or exfoliating products.
  • At all times during a course, apply SPF 15 (at least) and avoid UV exposure. Regular moisturiser applications are vital to replenish the skin and prevent it becoming dry and peeling.


Use SPF 15+ (at least) throughout a course to protect skin and regularly apply moisturiser to replenish moisture.

If your skin does feel hot or dry and itchy – splash with cold water, pat dry and moisturise regularly with a gentle hydrating moisturiser such as the SkinBase homecare with spf. Skin may appear red after treatment, this is perfectly normal and any redness will generally subside within 72 hours.
