The care at Beauty By Doctor continues beyond every appointment. All aesthetic treatments involve post-treatment care, which supports the healing process and helps maintain skin quality. Our clinical treatments, including wrinkle treatments, dermal volumising treatments, Morpheus8, UltraClear laser, and thread lifting, require specific aftercare to support the treatment outcome.
Recovery from skin and body treatments is supported by following the post-care advice provided after the procedure. Following these clinical guidelines helps ensure a comfortable recovery period. The subsequent section contains information for caring for your skin after your procedure.
Post Wrinkle Treatment
What to expect
After a wrinkle treatment, the injection sites may show mild redness, some swelling, and small bruises. These effects are typical and generally resolve within several hours.
Aftercare Instructions
Do not touch the injected site or apply manual pressure during the first 24 hours.
Remain upright for four hours after your procedure to prevent the product from shifting.
Heated environments such as saunas and hot showers should be avoided for at least two days.
Avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours after the treatment helps manage the risk of swelling.
Post Volumising Fillers
What to expect
Dermal volumising treatments address volume loss, though the procedure may cause temporary swelling and some soreness. The occurrence of bruising after treatment is possible and typically resolves within a few days.
Aftercare Instructions
Avoid pressing on the treated site and avoid sleeping on the face during the first 24 hours.
Use a cold compress for swelling reduction if necessary.
Maintaining hydration helps support the recovery process.
It is advisable to avoid blood-thinning medications and alcohol for twenty-four hours to manage bruising.
Post Laser / Energy Device
What to expect
UltraClear laser is a treatment that addresses skin texture through a regenerative approach and manages pigment variation. Your skin may experience mild sensitivity and redness, which are expected post-procedure symptoms that may persist for several days.
Aftercare Instructions
Post-treatment skin needs to be kept hydrated; a balm or petroleum jelly is recommended for the first two days, followed by a simple emollient product for five days.
Apply broad-spectrum SPF 50+ daily to shield the skin.
Exfoliation treatments or active ingredients, including retinoids, must be avoided for at least seven days after treatment.
Sun exposure should be avoided to manage the risk of pigmentation changes that can occur during the healing phase.
Post Blepharoplasty
What to expect
Postoperative experiences include swelling, discomfort, and mild bruising in the eye area. Healing and the recovery process depend on following the recommended postoperative care.
Aftercare Instructions
Rest with your head in an elevated position to manage swelling.
Use cold compresses according to the specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
Avoid touching the eyes or applying pressure to the region.
The use of prescribed eye drops or ointments will help manage dryness.
Post UltraClear / CO2 Laser
What to expect
Skin resurfacing through UltraClear laser and CO2 technology involves temporary conditions such as skin redness, peeling stages, and sensitivity. These responses are part of the body's natural healing process.
Aftercare Instructions
Follow a gentle skincare regime and avoid products with active ingredients.
Maintain skin moisture using recommended clinical creams.
Apply SPF 50+ daily for sun protection.
As the skin heals, it may feel itchy. It is important not to pick or rub the skin as it may result in scarring.
Post Thread Lift
What to expect
Thread lifting is a procedure used to address lower face laxity. Typical postoperative effects like mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness are standard.
Aftercare Instructions
Minimise significant facial expressions for seven days.
Rest on your back while elevating your head.
Avoid facial massages and other clinical skin procedures during the two-week postoperative period.
Refrain from heavy exercise for seven days.
Post-Morpheus8 (RF Microneedling)
What to expect
Morpheus8 uses radiofrequency and microneedling to address skin quality and laxity. Patients may expect temporary reactions, such as redness and swelling, which typically resolve within one to two days.
Aftercare Instructions
A hydrating serum may be used to support skin recovery.
Avoid using makeup for a complete twenty-four-hour period.
Regular application of sunscreen is required to protect the skin.
Avoid hot temperatures, saunas, and steam rooms for 48 hours.
Bruise Management
What to expect
A common side effect of injectable and laser treatments includes modest bruising, particularly when treating sensitive areas. Following the recommended approach supports the recovery phase.
Aftercare Instructions
A cold pack may be applied to manage swelling.
Avoid blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, unless medically necessary.
The application of arnica may support the resolution of bruising.
Maintaining fluid intake supports skin health.
