Prepare for your Treatment

  • Please do:

    • Avoid prolonged or unprotected sun exposure (including tanning beds) for 2 weeks before your treatment.

    • Please inform us if you are Pregnant or believe you may be pregnant so we can adapt your service on the day. We can only perform facials after the first 12 weeks (first trimester). *Pregnant clients cannot receive microneedling or chemical peel services.

    • Stop using retinoids (Retinol, Retinal, Tretinoin) and strong AHA/BHA exfoliants for 7 days beforehand.

    • Wait 7 days after waxing, threading or other facial hair removal.

    • Allow 2 weeks after Botox or dermal fillers before your facial.

    • Allow 4 weeks after chemical peels, microneedling, laser or IPL treatments.

    • Let us know if you're taking any medication that may increase skin sensitivity.

      Please never stop prescribed medication without speaking to your doctor.

After your Treatment: What to Expect

  • It is normal to experience mild redness, warmth or sensitivity following your facial. These effects usually settle within a few hours, although some skin types may remain slightly pink or sensitive for up to 48 hours.

    If receiving extractions, you may ice the area the next day to bring down any mild swelling.

    If new products or active ingredients have been introduced during your treatment, a temporary skin reaction is possible. This may include mild redness, irritation or itching and will usually settle quickly.

    Clients who are prone to congestion or acne may occasionally experience purging, where existing blockages surface more quickly. This is a temporary response and should improve as your skin completes its normal renewal cycle.

  • Your skin may feel beautifully refreshed after your treatment but can also be temporarily more sensitive. Following these guidelines will help maximise your results.

    ✔ DO

    • Cleanse gently with a mild cleanser.

    • Keep skin hydrated with a nourishing moisturiser.

    • Apply SPF 30+ (preferably SPF 50) daily.

    • Use clean towels, pillowcases and makeup brushes.

    • Give your skin a little time to rest and recover.

    • Contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

    ✘ DON'T

    • Avoid excessive heat (hot baths, saunas, steam rooms and strenuous exercise) for 24 hours.

    • Avoid direct sun exposure for 24–48 hours and continue wearing SPF daily.

    • Avoid exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs), retinoids and facial scrubs for 3–5 days, unless advised otherwise.

    • Avoid waxing, threading or other facial hair removal for 7 days.

    • Avoid laser treatments, IPL, chemical peels or microdermabrasion for 14 days.

    • Avoid picking, scratching or aggressively rubbing the skin.

  • Most post-facial effects settle quickly. However, if your symptoms worsen rather than improve, or you experience increasing pain, significant swelling, blistering, or signs of infection such as spreading redness, heat or pus, please contact the studio or seek medical advice promptly.

Frequently asked questions

  • If required, you can wear makeup on the day of your service. Use clean makeup tools and brushes.

  • It would be ideal to avoid breaking a sweat on the day of the facial to allow the skincare to sit and work on the skin. However, you can excercise on the day.
