Aftercare Advice
Do not wear heavy make-up for 12 hours
No swimming, no facial waxing and no exercise for 24 hours
No sauna, sun beds or sun exposure. No botox, collagen injections or dermal fillers for 48 hours
Do not use any anti ageing creams, AHA's, glycolic, retinol or exfoliating products for 72 hours
At all times during a course of collagen lift:
wear minimum SPF 15, exposure to sun should be avoided. (UV is the number one external factor that accelerates the ageing process).
Regular moisturiser applications are vital to replenish moisture and prevent the skin from becoming dry and peeling.
Possible Side Effects :
If skin feels hot, splash with cold water, pat dry and moisturise regularly with a gentle, hydrating moisturiser.
Skin may appear red after treatment, especially if it is your first treatment. This is perfectly normal and any redness will generally subside within 72 hours.
