    Frequently Asked Questions

    What skincare should I use in the first 24 hours after treatment?

    Keep it minimal: gentle cleanser with lukewarm water, SPF50+ mineral sunscreen, and nothing else. Avoid serums, actives, makeup, and fragranced products. Let your skin rest and begin healing.

    When can I resume retinol after aesthetic treatments?

    Wait at least 5-7 days after Botox and fillers, 2 weeks after thread lifts, and 1-2 weeks after laser treatments before resuming retinol. Start with a lower concentration and gradually increase.

    Should I use AHA or BHA after treatment?

    Avoid chemical exfoliants (AHA, BHA, PHA) for at least 5-7 days after injectable treatments and 2 weeks after laser or device treatments. These acids can irritate healing skin and compromise results.

    What sunscreen is suitable after aesthetic treatment?

    Use SPF50+ PA++++ mineral (physical) sunscreen containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. These are less irritating than chemical sunscreens. Reapply every 2 hours when outdoors. Sun protection is critical for optimal results.

    When can I resume my full skincare routine?

    Most patients can resume their full routine after 1-2 weeks, depending on the treatment. Introduce products one at a time to identify any sensitivity. Your doctor will provide a specific timeline based on your treatment.

    Are there any products I should never use right after treatment?

    Avoid retinoids, AHA/BHA, vitamin C serums (for 48 hours), fragranced products, essential oils, physical scrubs, and alcohol-based toners. These can irritate treated skin, increase inflammation, or interfere with healing.
