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.
