To support your skin while it recovers:
Cleanse gently using a mild, acid-free cleanser and choose simple, fragrance-free products for at least 72 hours, or longer if your skin still feels sensitive.
Avoid makeup for 24 hours where advised following your treatment.
Avoid active skincare for 7 days, including retinol, acids, scrubs and exfoliating products. Reintroduce these gradually once your skin feels completely comfortable.
Keep your skin hydrated. Apply a gentle moisturiser and any recommended aftercare serums/products. If a product causes persistent irritation, stop using it and allow your skin a little longer to recover.
Wear SPF 50 every day and minimise direct sun exposure while your skin is recovering.
No sunbeds for at least 7 days.

Do not pick, scratch, peel or aggressively rub your skin, even if you experience some light flaking or peeling.
Some skincare products may tingle slightly for the first couple of days while the skin settles. Persistent burning, significant swelling, blistering or an unexpected reaction is not normal — please contact me for advice.
CellStory : On the evening of your CellStory treatment use only the aftercare mask provided. Do not apply your usual skincare products that evening.
Injectable Skin Boosters : N.B. Its completely normal to notice tiny bumps, pinpoint marks or mild swelling after your skin-booster treatment — especially around delicate areas. These are simply the small deposits of booster, where they’ll slowly disperse and hydrate from within over the next few days. You may also see a little redness or light bruising, which is part of your skin’s natural healing response. Any marks or puffiness will usually settle with 24/48 hours though light bruising can take a few days to fade.
