Aftercare

So, you’ve just had a fabulous treatment at Esthetics Lounge in Greenwich—congratulations! But the work doesn’t end when you leave the clinic. Proper aftercare is essential to ensure your results look their best and your skin stays healthy. Whether you’ve had dermal fillers, microneedling, or another one of our popular treatments, following the right aftercare routine can make all the difference in achieving the glow-up you’re after.

Why Aftercare Matters

Think of your treatment as an investment in yourself. Just like you’d water a newly planted garden, your skin needs a little TLC after an aesthetic procedure to maximise results. Aftercare helps to:

Reduce swelling or redness.
Minimise the risk of irritation or complications.
Promote healing and ensure long-lasting results.

We’ve created a handy guide to help you care for your skin after some of our most popular treatments. Remember, if you ever have any questions, the team at Esthetics Lounge is just a call away.

Aftercare for Dermal Fillers

If you’ve had dermal fillers, you might notice some mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites. This is completely normal and should settle within a few days. Here’s how to care for your skin:

Avoid Touching the Area: Try not to touch or massage the treated area unless advised by your practitioner.
Skip the Gym: Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive heat, like saunas or hot showers, for 24-48 hours.
Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help the hyaluronic acid in fillers bind with moisture for even better results.
Keep It Cool: Applying a cold compress can reduce swelling or discomfort.

Aftercare for Microneedling

Microneedling stimulates collagen production by creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin, so it’s essential to protect and nourish your skin post-treatment:

Skip Makeup: Let your skin breathe for at least 24 hours.
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate: Use a gentle, hydrating serum or moisturiser to soothe and repair your skin.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your skin from UV rays with a broad-spectrum SPF.
Be Gentle: Avoid exfoliating or using active ingredients like retinol for a few days.

Aftercare for Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Anti-wrinkle injections require minimal aftercare, but there are still a few important things to keep in mind:

Stay Upright: Avoid lying down for at least four hours after treatment.
Keep It Natural: Skip the makeup and skincare for 24 hours to allow the product to settle.
No Pressure: Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours.

General Tips for All Treatments

Regardless of the treatment you’ve had, these general aftercare tips will help you get the best results:

Avoid Alcohol: Alcohol can thin your blood and increase bruising, so it’s best to avoid it for 24 hours post-treatment.
Protect Your Skin: Use sunscreen daily to shield your skin from UV damage.
Stay Patient: Results from some treatments, like fillers or microneedling, can take a few days to fully develop.
