Aftercare

Better Results comes with continued Aftercare

Lash & Brow

Eyelash Extensions
First 24 Hours
  • Avoid getting lashes wet
  • Avoid steam, sauna, hot showers, and sweating
  • Do not rub or touch lashes unnecessarily
Daily Care
  • Brush lashes gently with a clean spoolie
  • Clean lashes regularly using lash-safe cleanser
  • Keep lashes free from makeup build-up, oils, and residue
Avoid
  • Oil-based products around the eyes
  • Mascara (unless extension-safe and advised)
  • Pulling, twisting, or picking lashes
  • Sleeping face-down where possible
To Maintain Best Retention
  • Rebook infills every 2–3 weeks
  • Natural lash shedding is normal daily, so some extension loss is expected
  • Retention can vary depending on natural lash cycle, skin type, hormones, and aftercare
Important

Losing a few lashes each day is completely normal because natural lashes shed daily.
UV/LED Eyelash Extensions
First 24 Hours

One of the benefits of UV/LED lashes is that the adhesive is cured instantly, so lashes are generally more stable immediately after treatment. However, gentle care is still recommended in the first 24 hours:

  • Avoid excessive rubbing or touching
  • Avoid oil-based products around the eyes
Daily Care
  • Brush lashes gently morning and night with a clean spoolie
  • Clean lashes regularly using a lash-safe cleanser
  • Remove makeup carefully around the eye area
  • Keep lashes free from oil, residue, and buildup
Avoid
  • Oil-based cleansers or creams near lash line
  • Pulling, twisting, or picking lashes
  • Sleeping face-down where possible
  • Excessive rubbing
Benefits of UV / LED Lash System
  • Adhesive cures instantly under light
  • Less affected by humidity and weather
  • Stronger, cleaner bonding
  • Many clients experience improved retention
  • Lashes can usually get wet much sooner than traditional glue systems
Retention

Natural lash shedding still happens daily, so some lash loss is normal.

Retention depends on:

  • natural lash cycle
  • hormones
  • skin type
  • home care
Maintenance

Infills are usually recommended every 3–4 weeks for best fullness.
Brow Lamination
First 24–48 Hours
  • Keep brows completely dry
  • Avoid sweating, steam, sauna, hot showers, and swimming
  • Do not apply makeup or skincare directly onto the brows
  • Avoid touching or rubbing the brow area
Important During Healing

The brow hairs are still setting into their new direction during the first 24–48 hours, so keeping them dry helps maintain best results.

Daily Care After 48 Hours
  • Brush brows gently into place each morning
  • Apply nourishing oil or conditioning serum if recommended
  • Keep brow hairs hydrated to prevent dryness
Avoid
  • Exfoliating acids directly over brows
  • Retinol around the brow area in the first few days
  • Excess heat or harsh products
To Maintain Results
  • Brush brows daily
  • Avoid over-wetting brows unnecessarily
  • Use gentle products around the area
Longevity

Results usually last 4–6 weeks, depending on hair growth, skin type, and aftercare.

Important

Brows may feel slightly firm or look very set initially — this softens naturally over the first few days.
Lash Lift & Tint
First 24–48 Hours
  • Keep lashes completely dry
  • Avoid steam, hot showers, sauna, and sweating
  • Do not rub, touch, or sleep directly on lashes
  • Avoid mascara during this period
  • Avoid eye creams or oil-based products near lashes
Why This Is Important

Your natural lashes are still setting into their lifted shape during the first 24–48 hours, so moisture can affect the final result.

After 48 Hours
  • You can return to normal cleansing
  • Brush lashes gently if needed
  • A nourishing lash serum can help keep lashes healthy
Avoid
  • Waterproof mascara
  • Oil-based removers
  • Excessive rubbing or pulling lashes
Longevity

Results usually last 6–8 weeks, depending on your natural lash growth cycle.

Important

Natural lashes shed daily, so the lift softens gradually as new lashes grow through.

Skin Treatments

Skin Needling
First 24 Hours
  • Skin may feel warm, tight, red, and similar to mild sunburn
  • Avoid touching the skin unnecessarily
  • No makeup for 24 hours
  • Keep skin clean and allow channels to close naturally
First 48 Hours
  • Avoid sweating, gym, sauna, steam rooms, hot showers, and swimming
  • Avoid direct sun exposure
  • Use only gentle cleanser and hydrating products
  • No active ingredients such as retinol, acids, vitamin C, or exfoliants
Hydration
  • Apply soothing moisturiser as advised
  • Keep skin hydrated
  • Drink plenty of water
What Is Normal
  • Mild redness for 1–3 days
  • Slight dryness, roughness, or tightness
  • Some clients may feel tiny pin-like texture as skin renews
Pinkness & Sensitivity

Fresh skin can stay pink for several days depending on treatment depth and skin sensitivity.

Hyperpigmentation Prevention

Very important after Skin Needling/microneedling:

  • Wear SPF daily
  • Avoid sun exposure for at least 1 week
  • Heat and sun too early can increase pigmentation risk
Avoid
  • Makeup too early
  • Sweating
  • Picking skin
  • Fake tan until skin settles
Collagen Phase

Skin continues producing collagen for several weeks after treatment, so results improve gradually over time.

Important

If combined with serums like Salmon DNA facial, skin often heals beautifully with added hydration and glow.
RF Microneedling
First 24 Hours

Following your RF Microneedling treatment, your skin may feel warm, tight, red or sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. Mild swelling may also occur.

  • Avoid touching the treated area unnecessarily.
  • Do not apply makeup for 24 hours.
  • Keep the skin clean and allow the microchannels to close naturally.
  • Avoid excessive heat and direct sun exposure.
  • Use only the aftercare products recommended by your skin therapist.
First 48 Hours

For the first 48 hours, avoid:

  • Gym and excessive sweating
  • Saunas and steam rooms
  • Hot showers and baths
  • Swimming, spas and chlorinated water
  • Direct or prolonged sun exposure

Use a gentle cleanser, soothing moisturiser and hydrating products only.

Avoid active skincare ingredients including retinol, AHAs/BHAs, exfoliating acids, scrubs and strong vitamin C products until the skin has settled.

Hydration

Keeping your skin well hydrated supports the recovery process.

  • Apply a soothing moisturiser as advised.
  • Keep the skin hydrated throughout the day.
  • Drink plenty of water.
  • Do not allow the skin to become excessively dry.
What Is Normal?

Following RF Microneedling, you may experience:

  • Mild to moderate redness for 1–3 days
  • Temporary swelling or puffiness
  • Warmth and sensitivity
  • Slight dryness, roughness or tightness
  • Tiny pin-point marks or a slightly textured feeling
  • Mild pinkness for several days

Recovery varies depending on treatment depth, RF intensity and individual skin sensitivity.

Pinkness & Sensitivity

Freshly treated skin may remain pink or sensitive for several days.

Avoid excessive heat, friction and active skincare until your skin feels comfortable and has returned to normal.

Hyperpigmentation Prevention

Protecting your skin from UV exposure after RF Microneedling is extremely important.

  • Wear broad-spectrum SPF 50+ daily.
  • Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 1 week.
  • Reapply sunscreen when exposed to daylight.
  • Avoid excessive heat while the skin is healing.

Sun and heat exposure too soon after treatment may increase the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Please Avoid
  • Makeup for the first 24 hours
  • Excessive sweating for 48 hours
  • Picking, scratching or rubbing the skin
  • Scrubs and exfoliation
  • Retinol and active acids until the skin has settled
  • Fake tan until the skin has completely settled
  • Waxing, laser or other intensive facial treatments until your skin has recovered
Collagen Phase

RF Microneedling works by combining controlled microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate the skin's natural repair response.

Collagen and elastin remodelling continues for several weeks to months following treatment, so improvements develop gradually rather than appearing immediately.

For best results, follow the treatment plan recommended by your skin therapist.

Important

Do not pick or remove any tiny crusting or dry areas that develop. Allow them to shed naturally.

If you experience increasing pain, significant blistering, spreading redness, unusual discharge or other symptoms that concern you, contact your treating clinic or seek medical advice.

Plasma Fibroblast
Day 1–3: Immediate Healing Phase
  • Swelling, redness, heat, and tightness are very normal during the first 24–72 hours
  • Swelling is often strongest the morning after treatment, especially around the eyes
  • The skin may feel warm, dry, and tight
  • Tiny carbon dots form where each plasma point was placed — these act as a natural protective crust
Day 3–7: Carbon Dot Phase
  • Carbon dots begin drying and hardening
  • The skin can feel itchy as healing progresses
  • Do not pick, scratch, rub, or force dots off
  • Picking can lead to delayed healing, scarring, or pigmentation changes
Day 5–10: Carbon Dots Naturally Shed
  • Dots begin falling away naturally
  • Underneath, skin often appears pink, fresh, and delicate
  • This is normal new skin formation, not damage
Pink Dots After Carbon Dots
  • Pink dots can remain visible for 1–6 weeks, sometimes longer depending on skin type and treatment depth
  • Pinkness means fresh new skin and collagen activity are still occurring
  • This stage is very sensitive to sunlight and heat
Hyperpigmentation Risk

Hyperpigmentation can happen if fresh skin is exposed to heat, sun, picking, friction, or inflammation too early.

Higher risk if client:

  • Has darker skin tone
  • Tans easily
  • Exposes skin to sun too soon
  • Picks crusts
  • Uses active skincare too early
Preventing Hyperpigmentation

  • Tightening continues underneath
Weeks 4–12: Collagen Phase
  • Collagen continues building
  • Tightening and lifting improve gradually
  • Final results often continue improving for 8–12 weeks
Recommended Healing Product

A thin layer of Bepanthen can help support healing if suitable for the client.
