Stay COOL, CALM, and CLEAR for the rest of the day.
The long version:
Stay COOL: Avoid getting hot and bothered for the rest of the day. This stops the treatment spreading to unintended areas.
Gym Bunnies: You can workout tomorrow, boo.
Relax in the shade: avoid full sun exposure for the rest of the day (when it’s safe to go back into the sunshine, use a high-quality sunscreen liberally over your face, neck, and hands).
Stay CALM: Chill out: Stay upright, don’t lean on or apply pressure to the treated areas for the next 6 hours.
Swelling can be reduced with cool packs +/- antihistamine medication.
Avoid Alcohol 48 hours Before and After Your Treatment.
Stay CLEAR:Avoid putting on cosmetics for the rest of the day. It is perfectly fine to apply cosmetics the following day.
Put off Other skin treatments: Wait 24-48 hours after anti-wrinkle treatment, and 1-2 weeks after dermal fillersbefore getting facials, microdermabrasion, laser skin therapy, and massages.
Some people find Arnica or Hirudoid cream may help improve bruising- you can get this from the chemist.
Book your complimentary review appointment 2-3 weeks later to evaluate your results and we can make adjustments if needed. Additional treatment is usually an additional cost.
You must contact us urgently if you experience 10/10 pain, develop any blisters, or painful mottled red or purple skin as this can be a sign of blood vessel blockage. This is a rare complication but requires prompt treatment. If this happens, call Sammie Cassie immediately 021 059 3535.
