  • No hot showers, steam rooms, or saunas for at least 72 hours.
  • Keep your skin hydrated with fragrance-free, non-irritating moisturizers.
  • Avoid harsh or alcohol-based toners and astringents.


3. No Harsh Skincare for 1–2 Weeks 🚫

  • Avoid using retinol, AHAs, BHAs, Vitamin C, scrubs, and exfoliating products for at least 1–2 weeks.
  • Stick to gentle, non-active ingredients that promote healing.


4. No Picking, Scrubbing, or Touching 🙅‍♀️

  • Your skin may feel dry or flaky—do not pick, scrub, or peel as this can cause scarring.
  • Allow your skin to heal naturally.


5. Avoid Heat, Sweating & Exercise for 72 Hours 🔥

  • No intense workouts, hot yoga, or sweating for at least 72 hours to avoid irritation and inflammation.


6. Avoid Makeup for 48 Hours 💄

  • Avoid applying makeup for at least 48 hours to reduce the risk of clogged pores and irritation.
  • If needed, use mineral-based or non-comedogenic products.


7. Keep Your Skin & Environment Clean 🛏️

  • Change your pillowcase and towel daily for the first few days to avoid bacteria exposure.
  • Cleanse your face with lukewarm water and a gentle, non-foaming cleanser.


8. Follow Any Additional Instructions Given by Your Therapist

  • Depending on the treatment, additional instructions may apply. Always follow your therapist’s advice for the best results.


Healing Timeline:

  • BBL & IPL: Skin may be slightly red and sensitive for 24–48 hours. Some dark spots may temporarily darken before flaking off.
  • Chemical Peels: Expect mild peeling or flaking within 3–7 days. Avoid forcibly removing peeling skin.
  • Microneedling: Redness and mild swelling may occur for 1–3 days. Keep skin well-hydrated.
