Facials, Microneedling, Dermaplaning & Peels
These guidelines apply to all our facials – SkinCeuticals, Dermalogica, O3+, Million Dollar Facial and HydraFacial. Your therapist will tell you anything specific to your treatment.
For the first 24–48 hours
Keep the skin clean and avoid touching your face; use only a gentle cleanser and the moisturiser or SPF recommended by your therapist.
No make-up for at least 12 hours (24 hours after microneedling, dermaplaning or a peel).
Avoid heat: no sauna, steam, hot baths, sunbeds or strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours.
Avoid swimming pools, hot tubs and sea water for 48 hours.
No exfoliants, retinol, AHA/BHA acids, vitamin C or other active products for 3–5 days.
Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol for 24 hours.
Microneedling, dermaplaning & peels
Redness, warmth and mild tightness are normal for 24–72 hours; light flaking after a peel is normal for up to a week – do not pick or peel the skin.
Apply SPF 30–50 every day for at least two weeks, even indoors by a window, and avoid direct sun.
No waxing, threading, laser or facial hair removal on the treated area for 2 weeks.
For best results, book microneedling or peels every 4–6 weeks as a course, and a maintenance facial every 4–8 weeks.
When to contact us
Contact your salon or WhatsApp us if you have swelling, blistering, intense itching or any reaction that worries you. Corrections are free within 7 days if we have gone wrong; please tell us at the time of payment or as soon as possible.
Hair Colour, Keratin, Nanoplasty, Glatt & Perms
Colour, balayage & highlights
Wait 48–72 hours before the first wash so the colour can set; then use a sulphate-free, colour-safe shampoo and conditioner.
Wash in lukewarm water and limit washing to 2–3 times a week; colour fades fastest in hot water and chlorinated pools.
Use a heat protector before straighteners, tongs or hot blow-dries.
Book a toner or gloss every 6–8 weeks and roots every 4–8 weeks to keep the colour fresh; Olaplex or Kérastase treatments between visits help protect lightened hair.
Cocochoco keratin, Felps nanoplasty, Schwarzkopf Glatt & perms
Keratin: do not wash, tie up, tuck behind your ears or use clips for 72 hours; sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase and keep the hair straight and dry.
Nanoplasty and Glatt: avoid washing for 48 hours, then use sulphate-free, salt-free products only. Avoid sea water and chlorine for 2 weeks.
Perms: do not wash, wet or style for 48 hours; use curl-friendly products, avoid brushing when dry and let curls air-dry where possible.
Avoid colouring for 2 weeks after any smoothing or perm service.
Hair extensions
Brush gently from the ends up with a soft-bristle or loop brush, holding the bonds, at least twice a day.
Wash with the head upright, sulphate-free shampoo, conditioner on the lengths only (never on bonds or tapes); always dry the roots fully before sleeping and sleep in a loose plait.
No oils, serums or heat near the bonds; keep heat styling on the lengths only.
Book maintenance every 6–8 weeks and never attempt to remove extensions yourself.
Nails – Gel, BIAB, ACE HEMA-Free, Acrylic & Russian Manicure
Avoid water, hot baths, saunas and swimming for 2 hours after gel or BIAB, and 24 hours after acrylic.
Wear gloves for washing up, cleaning and gardening – detergents and long soaks lift gel and weaken enhancements.
Apply cuticle oil daily (morning and night is ideal); hydrated cuticles keep gel bonded and nails flexible.
Do not pick, peel, bite or file the surface of gel or BIAB; picking removes layers of the natural nail.
Never remove gel, BIAB or acrylic yourself – book a removal or infill every 2–4 weeks.
ACE HEMA-free, TPO-free gel is kinder to sensitive skin, but if you notice itching, redness or lifting, please stop and contact us.
Minor lifting, chipping or a broken nail within 7 days of your appointment is repaired free of charge – message us with a photo.
Waxing & Threading
Expect mild redness or small bumps for a few hours – this is normal. A cool compress or aloe vera gel calms the skin.
For 24–48 hours avoid heat and friction: no hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, sunbeds, swimming, tanning, tight clothing or heavy exercise.
No perfumed products, deodorant (underarms), fake tan or exfoliation on the waxed area for 24–48 hours.
Keep the area clean and avoid touching it; after 48 hours exfoliate gently 2–3 times a week to prevent ingrown hairs, and moisturise daily.
Rebook every 4–6 weeks – regular waxing gives finer, sparser regrowth. Hair should be at least 5 mm (about 3 weeks of growth) for the best result.
Please tell us before your appointment if you use retinol, Roaccutane, acne medication, or have had a peel or laser in the last 2 weeks.
Lash Extensions, Lash Lift & Brow Lamination
Lash extensions (Tatti Lashes & Pinkfish)
Keep lashes completely dry for 24 hours, and avoid steam, saunas and swimming for 48 hours while the adhesive cures.
Clean lashes every day with a lash-safe foam cleanser and a soft brush; avoid oil-based make-up remover, waterproof mascara and cotton pads.
Do not rub, pick or pull your lashes, and avoid sleeping face-down – a silk pillowcase helps.
Book infills every 2–3 weeks (at least 40% of lashes remaining) and never remove extensions yourself.
Airlift lash lift & HD brow lamination
Keep lashes or brows dry and free of make-up, steam and heat for 24 hours; do not rub or sleep on your face the first night.
Avoid oil-based products and waterproof mascara for 48 hours; brush brows into place each morning and use a nourishing serum or oil after the first 24 hours.
Results last 6–8 weeks; wait at least 6 weeks before repeating.
Laser Hair Removal
Slight redness, warmth or bumps around the follicles for a few hours is normal – a cool compress or aloe vera gel soothes the skin.
Avoid heat for 24–48 hours: no hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, swimming or vigorous exercise.
Keep the treated area out of the sun and use SPF 50 every day between sessions – tanning, sunbeds and fake tan must be avoided for 2 weeks before and after.
No waxing, plucking, threading or epilating between sessions – only shave. Hair will shed over 1–3 weeks; gentle exfoliation helps.
Avoid perfumed products, deodorant on treated underarms and exfoliants for 48 hours.
Book your next session every 4–6 weeks (face) or 6–8 weeks (body) – a course of 6–8 sessions gives the best, longest-lasting result.
Massage, Body Treatments, 3D Lipo & Powersculpt
Drink plenty of water for the rest of the day to help flush out toxins released during your treatment.
Take it easy: avoid alcohol, caffeine and heavy meals for a few hours, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours after deep tissue or hot stone massage.
Mild soreness after deep tissue or Thai massage is normal for 24–48 hours; a warm bath helps.
After body scrubs and polishes avoid hot showers, perfumed products and sun exposure for 24 hours.
3D Lipo and 3D Powersculpt: drink 2 litres of water daily, avoid alcohol and fatty foods for 48 hours and stay active – a brisk walk the same day helps the body process released fat. Book sessions as a course for visible results.
Injectables & Skin Boosters – Red Carpet B-Tox, Profhilo, Sunekos & B12
Small bumps, redness or light bruising at the injection points are normal and settle within a few hours to a few days.
Keep the area clean; no make-up for 12 hours and no touching, rubbing or massaging the treated area for 24 hours (unless advised).
Stay upright for 4 hours after anti-wrinkle treatment; avoid lying face-down and tight headwear.
Avoid alcohol, heavy exercise, saunas, steam, sunbeds and facials for 48 hours; avoid blood-thinning painkillers such as aspirin or ibuprofen unless prescribed.
Profhilo and Sunekos work over 2–4 weeks and are given as a course (usually two treatments 4 weeks apart); anti-wrinkle results show from 3–14 days.
Contact us immediately if you have unusual swelling, pain, blanching of the skin or any concern after an injectable treatment.
