Post-treatment aftercare

Your results depend as much on what you do after your appointment as what happens during it. Follow the guidance below for your specific treatment to protect your skin and get the most from every session.

Reset Facial — Aftercare

Restorative consultation facial with cleanse, exfoliation, extraction, massage and lymphatic drainage.

01

Skip makeup for the rest of the day — let your skin breathe

02

No actives tonight (acids, retinol, vitamin C) — back to normal routine tomorrow

03

Avoid saunas, steam and hard workouts for 24 hours

04

Drink plenty of water — your lymphatic drainage works best when you're hydrated

05

SPF tomorrow morning and every morning after

06

Slight redness or warmth this evening is normal and settles quickly

Any issues after your Reset — message Arianna directly.

Chemical peel facial for pigmentation, tone and fine lines. Follow these steps carefully to protect your skin during the healing phase.

01

No makeup for 24 hours

No actives (AHAs, BHAs, retinol, vitamin C) for 5 days

03

Avoid direct sun — SPF 30+ every single morning, no exceptions, no sunbeds

04

No saunas, steam rooms, hot showers on the face or heavy workouts for 48 hours

05

Your skin may flake or tighten from day 2–3 — this is normal

06

Do not pick, peel or scratch flaking skin — let it shed on its own

07

No exfoliating until fully healed

08

Keep skincare simple: gentle cleanser, hydrating serum, moisturiser, SPF

09

No waxing or hair removal on the face until healed

Mini Sculpt — Aftercare

Brow wax and shape. Simple aftercare to keep your shape looking clean.

01

No makeup on the brow area for 24 hours

02

No heat, steam, saunas or heavy sweating for 24 hours

03

No sun exposure or tanning on the area today

04

Slight redness is normal and settles within a few hours

05

If tint was added: avoid oil-based cleansers around the brows — oils fade tint faster

06

Brush through daily to keep the shape

Sculpt — Aftercare

Brow lamination, wax and tint. The first 24 hours are critical — follow these steps to protect your lamination.

01

Keep brows completely dry for 24 hours — no water, steam, sweat or makeup

02

Don't touch, rub or brush the brows today — let them set

03

No saunas, swimming or sunbeds for 48 hours

04

From tomorrow: brush into place daily with your spoolie

05

Apply a few drops of squalane daily to keep the hairs nourished — this is the one step that keeps laminated brows healthy

06

Avoid oil-based products directly on the brows for the first 24 hours (after that, squalane only — skip heavy oils)

07

No exfoliating or actives on the brow area for 72 hours

08

Rebook in 6–8 weeks — sooner isn't better with lamination

09

Maintenance appointment: you can book a top-up 2 weeks after your Sculpt if needed

Any issues after your Sculpt — message Arianna directly.

Lift — Aftercare

Lash lift and tint. The 48-hour window is non-negotiable — this is what makes the lift last.

01

Keep lashes completely dry for 48 hours — no water, steam, sweat or tears (this system needs the full 48, not 24 — it's worth it)

02

No mascara or eye makeup for 48 hours

03

No rubbing your eyes, and sleep on your back tonight if you can

04

No saunas, steam rooms or swimming for 48 hours

05

Remove eye makeup gently with an oil-free remover once you're past the window

06

Do not use castor oil on your lashes — it breaks down the lift. Instead, a few drops of squalane daily keeps lashes conditioned and strong

07

Avoid waterproof mascara for the life of the lift — it drags the curl out

08

Brush through daily with your spoolie

09

Rebook in 6–8 weeks — back-to-back lifts too soon weaken lashes. Maintenance after 2 weeks.

Any issues after your Lift — message Arianna directly.
