  • The area will feel very cold immediately after treatment, but warms up within an hour or so.
  • Physical activity or exercise is beneficial to support the lymphatic system which helps carry the dead fat cells away.
  • Whilst fat freezing destroys fat cells, it does not remove all the fat cells in the treated area. Therefore any weight gained between your treatment and your 8-week review could negatively affect your results.
  • Cryolipolysis is not a substitute for a healthy diet and regular exercise. For clients that want to lose more, we recommend a combination of our MyTime or a Course program alongside.

YOUR AFTER CARE

FOR WARTS & VERRUCAS

DO

TAKE OFF as much dead skin as possible

  • The treatment is more effective on lesions that have been regularly ‘pared back’ without drawing blood. This allows the optimum penetration of the laser
  • It is often beneficial to also use homecare treatments e.g. salicylic acid. (not on the two days prior to treatment, or at least 7 days after)
  • Duct tape (or nail polish)can also be applied in-between sessions. Evidence shows that this starves oxygen to the area and therefore helps to kill the virus.

  • Try to avoid smoking or drinking alcohol for at least 3 hours before and after treatment

YOUR AFTER CARE

FOR EAR PIERCING

  • Always rinse with clean water after shampooing hair or swimming and apply after care lotion    

AVOID

  • Do not wear heavy or dangling earrings for 6 months  

YOUR AFTER CARE

FOR PLASMA

FOR THE FIRST 7 DAYS

  • It is normal for your skin to feel quite tight and dry, or you may experience very slight and occasional weeping that will settle over time.
  • Small Plasma carbon crusts will form on the treated area, and these will be visible for up to a week or so before naturally flaking off.
  • Do not pick off the crusts as this will delay the healing process, and can cause scarring.
  • If needed, cleanse the area daily with lukewarm water, and a soft, lint-free cloth to remove excess oil. Follow this by patting the skin dry with clean tissue.
  • Ensure the scabs and crusts are hydrated by applying iS Clinical Sheild Balm up to three times a day
  • Avoid applying lotions and creams that contain perfumes or alcohol to the areas of the skin thathave been treated.
  • Do not use exfoliating products on the treated area as this may result in scarring
  • If you have had a Plasma Pen treatment around the eyes, avoid wearing contact lenses for 72 hours

FOR THE FIRST 3 MONTHS

  • After the first 7-days, you should find that the carbon crusts have naturally fallen off, however your skin may be a little pink as it is essentially fresh, new and rejuvenated skin.
  • Once the Plasma carbon crust has fallen off, you are now able to start applying your normal makeup but avoid using all other skincare products that contain glycolic or exfoliating ingredients.
  • Once the Plasma carbon crusts have fallen off, you must now begin to apply SPF 50+ sunscreen every day whilst your skin is healing, and for at least 12 weeks.
  • If the treatment area was for the face, you must use the iS Clinical ProHeal Serum + iS clinical Sheald Balm.
  • If the treated area was the eye, you must use iS Clinical Pro Heel Serum + iS ClinicalEye Complex Cream. You can wash with is Clinical Cleansing Complex.
  • Avoid saunas and sunbeds for up to 12 weeks during the healing period.
  • Avoid all other medi-aesthetic surgical treatments on the same area for at least 12 weeks whilst the skin is healing

PRECARE FOR TATTOO REMOVAL

DO

AREA SHOULD NOT be sun tanned

  • Always wear at least factor30sun block and reapply frequently, or better still cover with a dressing.
  • Please let Beautology know if there are any changes to medications that you take (even those from a chemist or herbal remedies)

AVOID

  • Use of sun beds and exposure to strong sunlight is not allowed 6 weeks prior to treatment.
  • No fake tan
  • The area to be treated should be free from makeup, deodorant, and body or face creams

AFTER CARE FOR TATTOO REMOVAL

DO

KEEP it dry for 2 days & use aloe vera regularly

  • You can also use Bepanthen/Sudocrem (antiseptic, wound healing, takes heat out)
  • Burn plasters are good-just be careful taking them off!
  • Wear SPF 30+ any time you go outside, sun exposure is the worst thing after laser removal
  • Avoid high-pressure water in the shower
  • Don’t soak the treated area until completely healed
  • Avoid baths, hot tubs and swimming pools as increase infection risk
  • Drink lots of water. Keeping the body hydrated is key to maintaining a strong immune system. It helps flush out toxins and restore blood cells, which are key to preventing infections.
  • Decrease alcohol consumption. Too much alcohol intake can cause dehydration, which slows down the healing process. If possible, avoid alcohol entirely.
  • Don’t smoke. When you smoke, your immune system has to work harder to remove the pollutants. Your body won’t be able to work as hard at healing your skin. Non-smokers see better results and usually need fewer treatments.
  • Immediately after treatment, the area is best left alone for 24 hours.
  • Do not pick or rub. Ideally leave it uncovered so it is exposed to the air. If it is necessary to cover it make sure you use a non-adherent dressing.

TO TAKE NOTE OF

  • Wear clean, loose fitting clothes when possible
  • Keep the treated area as cool as possible. This means NO heat treatments, such as saunasand steam rooms and NO hot showers/baths
  • Do NOT do any excessive exercise for 48hours
  • After washing, pat the area dry,do not rub.
  • If a blister bursts do not panic.
  • Keep the area free from perfumed products, toners,soaps, sprays etc until healed
  • Do not shave over the blistered area.
  • Within the first 24 hours the area may become reddened and swollen. Blisters sometimes appear and can occasionally be large and fill with blood. Do not worry this is not unusual.
  • Blisters can last from 2-3 days up to 2 weeks.
  • Do not disturb the blister, this is natures“elastoplast” and the skin will heal naturally under the blister. The blister will dry to form a“crust” and will be shed when no longer required. The new skin will look “shiny” and will take a few weeks to return to normal
  • Potential aftercare risks of treated area involve:
