Aftercare
Aftercare following skin treatments & procedures
Good aftercare speeds healing and reduces inflammation, bleeding and infection, to give the best cosmetic result.
- Avoid exposure to water and sweat for the first few days
- Don't stretch wounds that have been stitched
- Minimise sun exposure in the weeks after treatment
- Silicone gel can help speed wound healing and reduce scarring
An essential part of the healing process
Every procedure we perform has the potential to damage or irritate the skin.
Skin protects the body from external factors such as bacteria, viruses, and other harmful substances. After a surgical or laser procedure, the skin is vulnerable and requires special care to prevent infection, scarring, and other complications. Proper aftercare can help speed up the healing process, reduce discomfort, and improve the overall outcome of the procedure.
Our guides will help you know what to do about pain relief, dressings, exposure to water, when to exercise, and when to contact us for help.
