AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS
AVOID HEAT TREATMENTS
After you have undergone radio frequency avoid hot baths, saunas and stay out of the sun. The main contra action of a radiofrequency treatment is erythema. The redness should subside in over 24 hours, in some cases people will experience warmth in their skin and a mild sunburnt sensation during this period so it is important to avoid other heat treatments.
AVOID THE USE OF MAKEUP AFTER TREATMENT
The application of make up and other heavy moisturisers should be minimised for 12 to 24 hours.
AVOID TIGHT FITTING CLOTHING FOR 24 HOURS
Take care not to over stimulate the treated area, on the body be sure to avoid tight fitting clothes post treatment.
DRINK WATER
It is important to stay hydrated before and after your procedure to help your skin heal and rejuvenate faster.
