Pre & Post Treatment Care
To ensure the best results from your treatment, proper care before and after is essential. Following these simple guidelines will help enhance your experience, promote healing, and maximise the benefits of your treatment
Brows & Lashes
Avoid Water: Keep brows and lashes dry for the first 24 hours.
No Touching or Rubbing: Avoid touching, rubbing, or sleeping on treated areas Hot Tip: We suggest a silk pillowcase.
Gentle Cleansing: Gently cleanse brows and lashes, ask your therapist for a product recommendation.
Nourish: Use our Brow Oil on a clean mascara wand to maintain brow health.
Maintenance: We recommend brow wax & tint appointments be scheduled 4 weekly and brow lamination or lash lifts 8 weekly.
Spray Tans
Wait to Shower: Avoid showering, sweating, or swimming for 3 hours.
First Rinse: Use lukewarm water only—no soap, shampoo, or scrubbing.
Pat Dry: After showering, gently pat your skin dry with a towel—no rubbing.
Moisturise Daily: Use Medi-Soothe as your moisturiser to extend your tan.
Avoid Chlorine & Exfoliants: Stay away from pools, hot tubs, and exfoliating products to maintain your tan.
Exfoliate When Ready to Remove Tan: Before your next spray tan, gently exfoliate to remove the old tan evenly.
Schedule your spray tans every 10-14 days for a consistent glow.

- Apply sunscreen with a Broad spectrum SPF of 30 or higher during this time. Remember to reapply every 2 hours, as required.

- Do not apply pressure to the treated areas for 4 -10 days including facials, brow and lash treatments. Avoid dentist appointments for 2 weeks.
Rejuran Aftercare Instructions
To ensure the best results from your Rejuran treatment, please follow the aftercare instructions below carefully:
What To Do:
1. Keep skin clean and dry for 12 hours: Avoid touching or applying anything to the skin for the first 12 hours after treatment to reduce the risk of infection.
2. Use a gentle cleanser after 12 hours: Wash your face with a mild, non-active cleanser. Pat dry with a clean towel.
3. Apply soothing or hydrating products: From Day 1 onwards, use calming products like hyaluronic acid serums, thermal spring water sprays, or post-treatment creams recommended by your skin therapist.
4. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to support your skin’s healing and boost hydration from within.
5. Sleep on a clean pillowcase
Preferably use a silk or clean cotton pillowcase to avoid irritation and bacteria transfer.
What to Avoid:
1. No makeup for 24 hours: Allow the microchannels from the injections to close before applying any cosmetics.
2. Avoid active skincare for 3–5 days: Do not use products with retinol, AHAs/BHAs, vitamin C, or exfoliants until your skin has fully healed.
3. Skip the gym for 24–48 hours: No sweating, intense exercise, saunas, or hot yoga. Sweat can cause irritation or infection at the injection sites.
4. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours: Alcohol may increase the risk of bruising and inflammation.
5. No facials or skin treatments for 7 days: Avoid any IPL/ laser treatments, peels, skin needling, or other invasive procedures until your skin is completely healed.
What’s Normal:
- Small bumps at injection sites (like mosquito bites) for 24–72 hours
