PRE INSTRUCTION

  To achieve the optimal outcome, we would recommend: 

• Don’t rub the treated area today – no facials, massages or pressure to the treated area

   To achieve the optimal outcome we would recommend:

 You will have redness and swelling ("Bumps" which look like small mosquito bites) on the injection sites for 1-2 days after the day of the treatment. You are advised to stay indoor for 24-48 hours after the treatment to avoid external damage from the sun, pollutants or cosmetics. The visible "Bumps" will usually subside within 24-48 hours.You should not apply make up for 24-48 hours to avoid unnecessary clogging of the injections sites which may lead to acne or infection. We recommend to avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, extreme temperature, using saunas or bath, massages, strenuous exercise for a week after the injection.  

• Within 24 hours after the procedure, do not touch or wash the treated area.
• Feeling slight sensitivity or tingling for a day or two is normal.
• If you still experience tingling after 3-4 days, apply antipruritic or madecassol cream.
• Avoid trauma to the treated area and do not peel off any chocolate-colored film-like substance.
• After all the peeling is complete, apply SPF-50 sunscreen to prevent pigmentation.
• Avoid using peeling gels, scrubs, or skin planning before and after the treatment.
• For acne-prone skin, use ingrown serum daily.
• For those who want to remove freckles and spots, use vitamin C emulsion every evening.
• After the film-like substance has fallen off, use stem cell ampoules and regenerative cream.
• If you experience itching, use hyaluronic acid ampoules.
• Avoid tanning, saunas, sunbathing, and swimming pools for one month.
• Avoid direct sunlight to prevent temporary pigmentation.
• Do not use functional cosmetics for one month.

• After the procedure, you may experience redness, bleeding, blisters, and swelling.
• For eye treatments, swelling is common. Apply ice packs to prevent water contact.
• Avoid saunas, direct sunlight exposure, perming, dyeing, exercise, alcohol consumption, and outdoor activities for two weeks.
• The longer the scabs remain, the more collagen  is produced. (No washing for up to 9 days)
• Makeup and washing are not allowed until all  scabs have completely fallen off.
• After scabs have formed (3-4 days), lightly  tap on stem cell ampoules and use them until the entire bottle is  finished. Do not use your regular cosmetics (functional products, retinol  products, INCELLDerm, etc.) for up to one month.
• Avoid applying Mediform, dressings, and  antibiotic ointments. Keep the area dry.

To maintain the fresh, clean, and hydrated feel of your skin after a facial, it's important to follow these guidelines:

• Stick to the skincare routine recommended by your skin therapist after your facial. Make sure you have the right cleanser, moisturizer, serum, and sun protection products that are suitable for your skin type and lifestyle.
• If you had a microdermabrasion facial, avoid exfoliating your skin for the next 14 days. Similarly, if you received a peel, follow the same timeframe and refrain from exfoliation.
• If you have recently undergone filler or Botox treatments, it is safe to have a facial after two weeks. Your skin needs time to replenish, and by the four-week mark, you should be ready for another facial.
• In case you experience breakouts, please remember that it is not the facial that caused them. Breakouts can occur due to various reasons, and they often start developing weeks before becoming visible on the skin. If you do experience breakouts, it means that your skin is addressing an underlying issue that was already present. This is why we avoid performing extractions unless done under sanitary conditions, as improper extraction can lead to breakouts.
• Overall, following these guidelines and maintaining a consistent skincare routine will help you preserve the fresh, clean, and hydrated results achieved during your facial.
