Muscle Electrical Stimulation (EMS)

Purpose: EMS strengthens and tones muscle groups for a sculpted, defined appearance.

Post-Care Instructions:

• Rest: Avoid intense physical activity for 24 hours to allow muscles to recover.
• Hydration: Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins and reduce muscle soreness.
• Avoid Massage: Refrain from massaging the treated area, as this can interfere with the treatment.
• Mild Discomfort: It’s normal to experience some soreness, similar to post-workout soreness; light stretching can help ease this.
• Follow-Up Sessions: Depending on your goals, regular sessions may be recommended.

Facials

Purpose: Facials cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin for a refreshed, glowing complexion.

Post-Care Instructions:

• Avoid Makeup: Skip makeup for at least 24 hours to let your skin breathe.
• Stay Sun-Safe: Use SPF 30+ sunscreen and avoid direct sun exposure for 48 hours to protect the skin.
• No Exfoliating: Avoid exfoliating treatments for 3-5 days post-facial.
• Moisturize: Use a gentle moisturizer to maintain hydration.
• Hydration: Drinking water will enhance the hydrating effects of your facial.

Microneedling

Purpose: Microneedling boosts collagen production, improving skin texture and reducing scars and fine lines.

Post-Care Instructions:

• Redness and Sensitivity: It’s normal to experience mild redness and sensitivity. Avoid touching or washing your face for 6-8 hours post-treatment.
• Moisturizer & SPF: Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer and SPF 30+ sunscreen.
• Avoid Heat & Sweating: Skip hot showers, saunas, and exercise for 48 hours, as sweat can irritate treated skin.
• Gentle Cleansing: Use only gentle, non-exfoliating cleansers for the first week.
• Avoid Makeup: Refrain from makeup for at least 24 hours to allow the skin to heal.

Botox

Purpose: Botox temporarily reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles.

Post-Care Instructions:

• Keep Upright: Stay upright for 4 hours post-treatment to avoid Botox migration.
• Avoid Pressure: Don’t rub, touch, or apply makeup to treated areas for at least 24 hours.
• Skip Workouts: Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours to minimize bruising.
• Mild Side Effects: Some redness, bruising, or headache may occur; these typically resolve within a day.
• Follow-Up: Results typically appear within 5-10 days; schedule a follow-up if necessary.

Dermal Fillers (Including Sculptra and Radiesse)

Purpose: Fillers add volume, contour the face, and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.

Post-Care Instructions:

• Avoid Pressure: Avoid touching, massaging, or applying makeup to treated areas for 24 hours.
• Skip Exercise: Refrain from strenuous activities for 24-48 hours to prevent swelling and bruising.
• Hydration & Cold Compress: Use ice packs and stay hydrated to reduce any swelling.
• Avoid Heat: Skip hot showers, saunas, and intense sun exposure for 48 hours.
• Sleep Position: Try to sleep on your back to avoid placing pressure on treated areas.
• Follow-Up: Results from fillers appear gradually; contact us if any asymmetry or concerns arise.

Sculptra

Purpose: Sculptra is a biostimulatory filler that promotes collagen production for gradual volume restoration.

Post-Care Instructions:

• Massage the Area: Gently massage the treated areas for five minutes, five times a day, for five days to help distribute the product.
• Cold Compress: Apply ice packs to reduce swelling but avoid direct contact with the skin.
• Stay Hydrated: Drink water to support collagen production and overall skin health.
• Sun Protection: Avoid direct sun exposure and always use SPF.
• Results: Sculptra works gradually, with results visible over several months; multiple sessions are often recommended.

Radiesse

Purpose: Radiesse is a calcium-based dermal filler that provides immediate volume and stimulates collagen.

Post-Care Instructions:

• Cold Compress: Apply ice to reduce swelling and avoid bruising.
• Avoid Touching: Refrain from touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated areas for 24 hours.
• Skip Heat & Exercise: Avoid hot environments and physical activity for 24-48 hours.
