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.<\/p>\n<h2>Injection Aftercare (Fillers \/ Botox \/ Skin Boosters)<\/h2>\n<div class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card-title\">Day of Treatment<\/div>\n<p>Do not touch or press injection sites.

Rappoel Dermatology Clinic provides a comprehensive aftercare guide covering injections, lasers, thread lifts, and HIFU\u2014skincare product selection, do’s and don’ts, and when to seek follow-up care.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Why Is Post-Treatment Care So Important?<\/h2>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h2>Injection Aftercare (Fillers \/ Botox \/ Skin Boosters)<\/h2>\n<div class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card-title\">Day of Treatment<\/div>\n<p>Do not touch or press injection sites. No makeup, hot showers, or alcohol on the day of treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card-title\">Days 1\u20133<\/div>\n<p>Mild swelling and bruising are normal. Apply cold compresses for 10\u201315 minutes if needed. Avoid intense exercise and saunas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card-title\">Week 1<\/div>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Laser Aftercare (Thermage \/ Potenza \/ Laser Resurfacing)<\/h2>\n<div class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card-title\">Days 1\u20133<\/div>\n<p>Redness and mild swelling are normal. Use medical-grade repair cream (ceramide, panthenol). Strict sun protection is mandatory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card-title\">Week 1<\/div>\n<p>Avoid AHA, BHA, retinol, and exfoliating products. Mineral makeup is preferred. Keep skincare routine minimal and gentle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card-title\">Weeks 2\u20134<\/div>\n<p>Gradually resume normal skincare. Vitamin C brightening products can be introduced (patch-test first for sensitivity).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Thread Lift Aftercare<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Ice compresses for the first 3 days, then switch to warm compresses to promote circulation<\/li>\n<li>Avoid excessive smiling, wide chewing, and exaggerated expressions for 1 week<\/li>\n<li>Sleep with head elevated to minimize facial swelling<\/li>\n<li>Avoid dental visits, gum chewing, or wide mouth movements for 2 weeks<\/li>\n<li>No facial massage, face yoga, or saunas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Recommended Post-Treatment Skincare Products<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Moisture & Repair:<\/strong> Creams with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and panthenol<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sun Protection:<\/strong> SPF50+ PA++++ physical sunscreen<\/li>\n<li><strong>Soothing:<\/strong> Aloe vera or centella asiatica calming sprays\/gels<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cleanser:<\/strong> Amino acid-based gentle cleanser (avoid alkaline\/soap-based)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid:<\/strong> AHA, BHA, retinol, retinoic acid, alcohol-based products<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>When to Seek Immediate Follow-Up<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Redness or swelling worsening after 5 days<\/li>\n<li>Hard lumps or persistent pain at injection sites<\/li>\n<li>Abnormal skin heat or pus formation<\/li>\n<li>Allergic reaction (full-body rash, difficulty breathing)<\/li>\n<li>Vision changes or periorbital abnormalities (after eye treatments)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Rappoel’s Post-Treatment Follow-Up Services<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Written aftercare instructions provided after every treatment<\/li>\n<li>Free follow-up visit at 1 week to assess recovery<\/li>\n<li>WeChat\/LINE available for post-treatment questions anytime<\/li>\n<li>Recommended post-treatment skincare product list provided<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-q\">Can I fly right after treatment?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">Light injections (Botox, fillers) are generally fine. For laser and thread lift procedures, we recommend waiting 2\u20133 days before flying to reduce the risk of cabin pressure worsening swelling.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-q\">When can I drink alcohol after treatment?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">For injections, avoid alcohol for 3 days. For laser and thread lifts, avoid alcohol for 1 week. Alcohol dilates blood vessels and can worsen swelling and bruising.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-q\">Can I exercise after treatment?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">Avoid intense exercise for 24 hours after injections, 3 days after laser, and 1 week after thread lifts. Light walking is generally fine for all treatments.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-q\">Is skin peeling normal after treatment?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">Some ablative laser treatments cause peeling\u2014this is normal. Let it shed naturally and never pick at it. Non-ablative lasers and skin boosters typically do not cause peeling.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-q\">Can I use sheet masks after treatment?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">For injections, gentle hydrating masks can be used the same day. For laser treatments, wait 3 days and choose fragrance-free, additive-free medical-grade masks only.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-q\">Any special aftercare tips for international patients?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">Key points: protect from sun exposure (Korea’s UV index may differ from your home country), eat lightly and avoid spicy foods, and bring sufficient post-treatment skincare products.
