Avoid picking, scratching or irritating the skin as this may cause further scarring.
Healite Therapy is advised if additional support is required.
Light makeup can be used 48 hours post treatment if absolutely necessary. Apply only mineral-based products that are non-comedogenic.
Avoid extremely hot showers, sauna, steam rooms, swimming and all forms of exercise for 48 hours.
Profhilo and Rejuran Only: Lumps in the treated areas will last for 24-72 hours. For Profhilo, blanching can last up to 24-48 hours.
TCA Cross Only: Frosting will last for 3 hours, scabbing will last up to 1 week.
Rejuran S Only: Lumps in the treated areas will last for 4 days.
Under-Eye Procedures Only: Bruising may initially appear as pinpoint marks and gradually spread, taking on a purple discoloration. Due to the thinner, more vascular nature of the under-eye skin, bruising can last up to a week, depending on the client’s healing response.
-
If you experience severe bruising, severe redness / warmth or pus at the injection sites contact your practitioner immediately.
If you experience hives, difficulty breathing, or severe swelling of the face or lips, seek emergency medical help.
Alocuro and Profhilo Only: If you notice discolouration (blanching or greyish tone) of the treated area/surrounding skin, it could indicate lack of blood flow. Contact your practitioner or seek emergency medical help immediately.
