What to Expect

After your treatment, it’s normal to experience mild redness, warmth, or tightness — similar to a light windburn. Some flaking, bronzing and dryness may occur in the days following, particularly after peels or resurfacing. Pigment darkening and peppery appearance is common after the PhotoFacial. These changes are normal and will resolve in 7-10 days. Skin may also feel more sensitive than usual.



Essential Aftercare Tips

· SPF is non-negotiable: Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ daily to protect your skin and maintain results. Avoid sun exposure as much as possible.

· Keep your skincare gentle: Use calming, hydrating products for at least 3–5 days. Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, or active ingredients unless advised by your therapist.

· No picking or peeling: Let your skin shed naturally to avoid irritation or post-inflammatory pigmentation.

· Stay cool: Avoid hot showers, steam rooms, or vigorous exercise for 24–48 hours post-treatment.

· Hydrate and support your skin barrier: Use your recommended post-care products consistently to maximise healing and results.

· Histamine response- your skin may feel bumpy and small bumps may appear that look like small pimples. This is a normal response to your treatment due to a histamine response. Follow your aftercare advise and avoid touching these bumps. They will go away on their own.



Treatment Plan for Best Results

While noticeable improvements may be visible after one session, true skin transformation comes with consistency. We recommend a course of treatments tailored to your skin concerns, followed by ongoing maintenance sessions every 4–6 weeks. We will guide you on the ideal plan to achieve and maintain glowing, healthy skin.
