Plump Hydration Facial – Aftercare Instructions
The Plump Hydration Facial is a gentle, non-invasive treatment designed to hydrate the skin, support barrier function, and enhance overall skin comfort and radiance. Although there is typically no downtime required, the skin may be more receptive and slightly sensitive immediately following treatment due to exfoliation and hydration processes. Appropriate aftercare optimises results, maintains hydration, and supports skin health.
Immediate Post-Treatment Care (First 24–48 Hours)
Normal Activities:
You may resume everyday activities immediately after treatment, as there is generally no prescribed downtime.Cleansing:
Use a gentle, mild cleanser only. Avoid harsh, foaming, or exfoliating cleansers for the first 24–48 hours.Hydration:
Apply a hydrating serum (such as hyaluronic acid) and a suitable moisturiser to maintain skin hydration.Avoid Touching:
Do not pick, rub, or excessively touch the treated area to reduce the risk of irritation and minimise the potential for bacteria transfer.
Sun Protection
Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily. Newly treated skin may be more sensitive to ultraviolet exposure for a period after facial treatments.
Minimise direct sun exposure, especially in the first 24–48 hours post-treatment.
Activities & Environmental Exposure
Heat & Sweat: Avoid excessive heat exposure including saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, and intense exercise that induces heavy sweating for 24–48 hours.
Temperature Extremes: Avoid prolonged exposure to very hot or very cold conditions during the initial post-treatment period.
Make-Up & Skincare Products
Make-Up Application: It is advisable to avoid applying makeup for at least 24 hours where possible. If necessary, use light, non-comedogenic products that minimise pore occlusion.
Active Ingredients: Refrain from using products containing exfoliating acids, retinoids, vitamin C, or abrasive scrubs for at least 24–48 hours, as these may contribute to irritation.
Hydration & Lifestyle
Internal Hydration: Maintain adequate fluid intake to support overall skin hydration and treatment outcomes.
Gentle Routine: Continue a gentle skincare routine tailored to your skin type and avoid introducing new products immediately after treatment.
Skin Sensitivity & Routine Re-Introduction
Your skin may remain more sensitive than usual for several days. Reintroduce active products gradually and monitor for any sensitivity.
If clinically recommended, follow your practitioner’s guidance regarding the timing for returning to your full skincare routine.
When to Contact Your Practitioner
Seek professional advice if any of the following occur beyond typical expectations:
Redness, discomfort, or irritation persisting longer than expected
Signs of infection or unusual reactions
Any concerns regarding your skin’s response to treatment
