For the first 48 hours, use a mild cleanser only and apply a soothing, hydrating moisturiser. SPF 50 sunscreen is essential (as always) to protect the skin while it heals and sustain your results. Avoid retinoids, acids and other active ingredients for around 5-7 days, and avoid makeup for 12-24 hours. Keeping the skin well hydrated and protected supports comfortable healing and optimal results. I often recommend specialist skincare, such as pHformula, to support recovery and maintain improvements between treatments. Proper aftercare plays a key role in both safety and long-term collagen stimulation.</p>"}
