Why Is Post-Treatment Care So Important?
The first 7 days after any aesthetic procedure are the golden window for skin recovery. Proper care accelerates healing, minimizes side effects, and maximizes treatment outcomes. Improper care, on the other hand, can lead to infection, hyperpigmentation, or suboptimal results. Rappoel provides detailed personalized aftercare instructions after every treatment.
Injection Aftercare (Fillers / Botox / Skin Boosters)
Do not touch or press injection sites. No makeup, hot showers, or alcohol on the day of treatment.
Mild swelling and bruising are normal. Apply cold compresses for 10–15 minutes if needed. Avoid intense exercise and saunas.
Fillers: Avoid massaging treated areas, wearing glasses (nose), or chewing hard foods (lips). Botox: Avoid rubbing face and sleeping face-down. Skin boosters: Strict sun protection, gentle moisturizing products only.
Laser Aftercare (Thermage / Potenza / Laser Resurfacing)
Redness and mild swelling are normal. Use medical-grade repair cream (ceramide, panthenol). Strict sun protection is mandatory.
Avoid AHA, BHA, retinol, and exfoliating products. Mineral makeup is preferred. Keep skincare routine minimal and gentle.
Gradually resume normal skincare. Vitamin C brightening products can be introduced (patch-test first for sensitivity).
